Modern Combat 5 for Windows 8.1 is now free-to-play alongside its Windows Phone version

Last week, the Windows Phone version of Gameloft's modern-day military shooter Modern Combat 5: Blackout turned into a free-to-play game with Xbox Live support. Now the Windows 8.1 version of the same game has received that update, making the game that was once priced at $3.99 as free.

The Windows 8.1 version is also Xbox Live supported and got the same content additions as its Windows Phone counterpart. Hopefully, the two versions will be updated at the same time from now on.
