World of Tanks has been a hugely popular PvP MMO Esports since 2012, with over 110 million players worldwide. More recently, it made its way to mobile as a free-to-play game with 7-vs-7 battles.
As players progress through the game, they can upgrade their tanks, adding extra speed, stronger armour and faster firing times. While in-app purchases are available, players only need spend money if they want more in-game money or special kits. The game doesn’t rely on users having to spend money just to get extra lives.
