To entice players to pay, Funcom promises new features and content, gameplay additions and major improvements across the board. Now that the game is expanding its horizons to the Mac and mobile platforms, players will have to pay to play. As Casais said, the game was initially available for the PC in a free-to-play version.

'Maybe you are playing on an iPhone while your friend is on an Android tablet and your grandma is on a high-powered PC you'll still play together in the same world, along with thousands of other Lego fans from all over the globe.' 'Not only will it feel like a fresh, new experience for those who have played the earlier free-to-play PC version, there is also so much potential unlocked now that gamers can play with each other across platforms on a broad range of devices,' Funcom CEO Rui Casais said in a statement. But mobile gaming is still hot, so Lego Minifigures Online will tap into the best of both worlds. PC gaming is making a comeback lately in part because high-powered computers can support games with more cutting-edge features. You can switch from your desktop or mobile device and keep the same game alive with your friends and other players. Beyond the usual Lego game play, what makes the new game so special is that for the first time ever, players can join each other in the same consistent and persistent virtual world whether they're at a PC, Mac, iOS device or Android gadget.
