Question 1

Is Albion Online actually free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The world, economy, PvE, and PvP are playable without buying the game. Premium adds progression and economic bonuses but is not required to log in or reach the full map.

Question 2

Does PlayBound install the Steam version?

Accepted Answer

No. PlayBound uses Albion's official standalone launcher, so an existing Albion account works without Steam.

Question 3

Do I lose equipment when I die?

Accepted Answer

Only in full-loot zones. Blue and yellow areas provide safer progression; red and black zones are where carried gear can be lost to other players.

Question 4

Can I change classes?

Accepted Answer

There are no permanent classes. Weapons and armor determine your abilities, so changing a loadout changes your role.

Question 5

Does Albion support cross-platform play?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS players share the same world and account system.
