The developers do not plan to introduce “surprise mechanics,” but they will not do without additional monetization.

“We plan to release paid DLCs after launchin the form of car packages. Later this year we will introduce a time-saving pack that will display collectibles on the map. Honestly, that’s all. No lootboxes or anything else, ”wrote Walk.
