No, it is 100% free. No pay to download, no in app purchases.

I have done the little hack as it is not available here yet and it works no need to restart. But, do you really really really need a Microsoft account to play this thing?
Since I have a microsoft account but it has trouble logging in, always throws an unspecified message that goes error please try logging in later, i decided to use an independent microsoft app store generation page to download the file independently, and installed it but when I run the game it always keeps on saying error verifying your account and the app will just not run. This has not happened with other apps I have downloaded this way, so not sure what is up.
edit: turns out that I had an old microsoft account and the wrong device was linked to it. So if you open the store app, then go to settings, you should be able to manage your devices from there. i removed my laptop and then that link turned into get apps from the store, at which point I was able to install it without any problems and could do so without a Microsoft account. When I opened the ear hockey in the store I pressed the get button and then a prompt was advertising the account in terms of sign in anywhere and blah blah using a Microsoft account so I hit no thanks an the app was downloaded. It runs now. It takes a bit for me to get used to how the ball moves, especially when it is coming towards me because it abruptly moves to the sides sometimes, I guess that means I have hit it at an angle. A bit strange but its a fun little time killer.
Oh right. Its nice that pressing the space bar during game play (when the ball is rolling) will pause the game, but this is not mentioned anywhere yet. Another thing, settings are not saved. Its trivial, because there are not many at the moment, but its annoying to have to set them every time, too. Have not tried an online match! but it shall be fun.
Still not available in Turkey. I guess it will be like seine ai. At first seing ai was not available in Turkey, then after so many months it finally came to Turkey.
@fatih it must still be in the process of republishing as it isn't available in the UK yet either
Hi.
Well, I was looking forward to play the game, but... It doesn't appear when searching for it in the Microsoft Store in my country. When clicking the direct link or by searching for it on Google, it simply says "Not available." What a shame and disappointment.
I could maybe get the game in other ways, but nah... It shouldn't be that difficult to get a free game...
@SLJ It isn't really difficult to get. Just change your region under Settings>Time &Language>Region to USA, search for the game in the Store, download it, then change it back to your original region. I just did this and it runs just fine afterwards.
I've been playing with it for like twenty minutes and it's quite a fun little thing. Also, pretty sure this will not have to be done in the future to get the game, since it seems like it was a publishing issue. I'm sure they're fixing it.
Is there a way that a person could sign out of there account? If so how do you do that?
Hi.
I got the game by changing my region.
I really enjoy playing this small and quite addicting game. I have noticed a bug where the sound of the ball suddenly disappears which makes it difficult to play. I'll highly recommend the game to everyone.
has anyone found the game on the xbox yet?
I changed my region as well, which was actually far easier to do than I thought (just go into settings and find location) and so have also played the game.
I like the fact that the game gets pretty damn extreme, and that even with high contrast graphics you still need to hear the ball, actually the first person graphics I found a bit distracting even on high contrast mode.
I also like the way that hard is sort of on overdrive! I slaughtered the computer on medium, then hard is a bit nuts, show down levels of nuts .
My only issue is that sometimes the game loops into you losing a hole bunch of points in a row, if the ball hits the goal it immediately comes back and hits your goal again, this is especially noticeable on higher difficulties.
I also wish the game used a bit of a wider stereo pan for its audio, though that might just be me and the fact that the ball sound is more complex than in most audio pong type games.
Other than that though, its an addictive little arcade game and highly worth a tryy as Slj said, and hopefully the next update will fix the region issue.
Hi.
I changed the region and location on my XBox to the US, and the game does not come up in the store. So it seems like the game is not available for the XBox. Then, I wander why the requirements says either an XBox or a pc.
It would be so awesome to play this game against your XBox friends.
Hi everybody.
Do you have any idea if the game could be plaied on windows 7? Or is it for win 10 only?
this game is excellent, i hope microsoft makes more games for us in the future.
the game is for windows10 only. it is a windows10 universal app from the app store.
@ 22and40 I cant play it neter. we are alone. I want a windows10 vm for vmware player6
sad

Then, just install a virtual Windows 10 if that's what you need.
how do you evon do that?
Sorry, I'm confused. You are asking for something, which you don't know how to install? Since this is off-topic for the game: Google is your friend.
any word on when this will hit xbox?
I still don't have access to this on the Canadian app store, is it ever going to be fully internationally published?
Hello guys, I haven't played this game for a long time. Has an update been released up to now?
BTW, nor in the Romanian Windows store it's available. I set the region to the US when acquired it.
Hi.
I haven't seen any updates so far.
