Strattegee: Insurgency is free to play - Premium is an optional subscription for players who want to run more games at once, organise competitive play, and build a community around the game.
Run more than one correspondence-style (Async) game at a time, instead of just one.
Create and run your own Tournaments - set the format, invite list, and schedule.
Start your own Community - joining an existing one is always free.
A fuller breakdown of your match history, plus an avatar upload, badge, and coloured name.
This list grows as new features ship - the Premium section of your Profile page always has the current, definitive list.
Premium is billed in advance, monthly or annually, at the price shown before you check out, and renews automatically until you cancel. You can cancel any time from your Profile page - it takes the same number of steps as it did to subscribe. First-time subscribers are covered by a 14-day money-back guarantee.
Full terms: Terms of Service and Refund & Cancellation Policy.
You never need Premium to play. Ranked matches, joining Communities and Tournaments, and the AI opponent are all free for every account.
