Solo Leveling ARISE OVERDRIVE explained: Gacha, Multiplayer coop, pay to win and more

by

Solo Leveling ARISE OVERDRIVE is launching soon for players who purchased the Standard Edition (Deluxe Edition owners have had access since Friday). Many PC and console players, familiar with the mobile version of Solo Leveling ARISE, are curious about the gacha system. Let’s address some common questions about cooperative play, whether the game is pay-to-win, and when it might be available on PS5.

Is Solo Leveling ARISE OVERDRIVE gacha? Is it pay to win?

A lot of players were worried the game would rely on ‘gacha’ mechanics – where you pay for random items – even with a purchase price. But those who played it early, including us, can confirm that Solo Leveling ARISE OVERDRIVE is a traditional pay-to-play game. You can unlock everything in the game, including characters, simply by playing and collecting resources. Some players have mentioned, though, that gathering those materials can feel a bit repetitive.

Okay, so if I can’t spend money to instantly win, it’s probably not pay-to-win, right? I’m cautiously optimistic, though. Netmarble Neo’s last game, Game of Thrones: Kingsroad, had a pretty mixed response when it launched, but the recent Steam reviews are looking good, so that’s a positive sign. We’ll have to see how things develop, but I’m hoping this one will be different!

Solo Leveling ARISE OVERDRIVE on consoles

I’m so excited – it’s official, the game is coming to Xbox and even has a page up on the store! But things are a little unclear when it comes to the PS5 version. We haven’t heard much about a PlayStation release for a while now, but a moderator on the official Discord recently suggested we might see it on PS5 sometime in 2026, which is great news!
