According to Microsoft, this will mean that all of Project Spark’s previous DLC will be free to both new and old gamers alike and that Microsoft will “pivot from producing DLC and active feature development to encouraging more user generated content and opening the Project Spark experience.”

Microsoft also stated that everyone who purchased DLC for Project Spark or still have purchased in-game tokens will be able to get a refund in the form of Microsoft store credits within 30 to 60 days of Oct 5.
