WoW Forever Pricing: Subscription, Skyborne Packs and What to Buy Now

What you need right now: a subscription or game time

WoW Forever is live, and any WoW subscription or game time gets you in.

There is no separate WoW Forever box to buy.

In the U.S. store a one-month subscription is $14.99.

If you plan to play one of the classic races, that is all you need.

The new Skyborne race unlocks with the Skyborne Heroic Pack ($29.99) or a higher edition.

The Skyborne Epic Pack ($59.99) adds 30 days of game time and more cosmetics.

The Warcraft Forever Collection ($79.99) adds Warcraft III on top of that.

WoW Forever launched on November 4, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. PST.

The store now says to start on a subscription and upgrade later for the Skyborne.

Beta access and early name reservation were pre-launch perks, and both are over.

We checked all prices on November 11, 2026.

Sources: the U.S., European (German) and Korean Battle.net stores.

They match our previous check on October 18, 2026.

Each region sets its own prices, so we list them side by side, unconverted.

The store notes that prices may change.

Subscription prices, billing and the 12-month bonuses

A one-month subscription costs $14.99 in the U.S. store.

The three-month plan works out to $13.99 a month.

The 6- and 12-month offers work out to $12.99 a month.

The European store charges €12.99, €11.99 and €10.99 a month for the same plans.

It says its euro prices include VAT where applicable.

The U.S. and Korean stores carry no such line.

In Korea the same plans are ₩19,800, ₩15,840 and ₩14,667 a month.

Monthly figures are the plan total divided by its months, and you pay once per plan.

A three-month plan is billed every three months, not every month.

Three-, six- and 12-month totals are $41.97, $77.94 and $155.88 in the U.S.

In Europe they are €35.97, €65.94 and €131.88; in Korea ₩47,520, ₩88,000 and ₩176,000.

Your subscription renews automatically when the cycle ends or game time runs out.

If you only want one cycle, note your next billing date.

The 12-month special offer adds three WoW Forever-only bonuses.

They are the Tabard of Eternal Exploration and Eternal Explorer's Backpack transmogs.

The third is the Azurky pet.

The store's Compare Products table still lists them for the 12-month offer only.

We checked that table on November 11, 2026.

The 6-month offer shows only a Skyriding mount for retail WoW.

It also adds a pet for Classic Progression realms.

The one- and three-month plans have no bonuses.

Blizzard's bonus announcement says the bonuses arrive by October 31, 2026.

They must be redeemed by April 30, 2027.

Per the store FAQ, the bonuses go straight into your in-game collection.

That applies when you buy a 6- or 12-month offer.

You only get them by buying that plan in the Battle.net Shop.

Game time added any other way does not count.

The Lunar New Year 6-month offer will be revealed on or before January 31, 2027.

The store table lists one of those bonuses as a WoW Forever pet.

Its name and redeem deadline are not announced.

With auto-renewal on a 12-month plan, you get both the 12- and 6-month bonus refreshes.

Bonuses added or refreshed later arrive as gifts in the Battle.net app.

Claim them there.

The new Ashen Dreadglider and Giant Grrloc are retail-only and do not work in Forever.

The Cerulean Drake is for Mists of Pandaria Classic only.

No subscription bonus unlocks the Skyborne; that takes a pack (next section).

The three Skyborne packs and what each one adds

Packs are one-time purchases on top of your subscription, not a replacement for it.

In the U.S. store the Skyborne Heroic Pack is $29.99 and the Skyborne Epic Pack $59.99.

The Warcraft Forever Collection is $79.99.

The German store charges €29.99, €59.99 and €79.99.

The Korean store charges ₩37,500, ₩75,000 and ₩100,000.

The Heroic Pack unlocks the Skyborne race and their Zephras Isle starting zone.

It also has a ground mount, a transmog outfit, a backpack and a toy.

These work in both retail WoW and WoW Forever.

Add Skyborne housing decor for retail WoW and one Invite-A-Friend Launch Code.

The Epic Pack adds 30 days of WoW game time to everything in the Heroic Pack.

Your WoW Forever collection gets a bear mount and a matching transmog set.

Tabards and a family of pets come with it.

You also get two more Invite-A-Friend codes, for three in total.

The Collection adds Warcraft III: Reforged and the new Forsaken Kingdom campaign.

Everything in the Epic Pack is included too.

It also includes Forsaken and human miniature decor for retail housing.

The store calls it Forsaken & Human Figurine Decor.

The Collection is a limited edition celebrating BlizzCon 2026.

The U.S. and European stores sell it through January 11, 2027.

Blizzard's pack announcement gives the same date.

The Korean store lists January 12, 2027.

Pre-launch perks have dropped out of the pack descriptions.

Beta access ended on October 21, 2026 (Pacific time).

Early name reservation ran only before launch.

The Invite-A-Friend Launch Code works for an invited friend from November 4 to 11.

That window comes from the U.S. store footnote.

A pack bought now still lists the code, but its access window is about to close.

Which tier fits, and the physical Collector's Edition

Playing a classic race? Buy a subscription or game time and stop there.

Planning to play for a year? Look at the 12-month offer.

It costs the same per month as the 6-month offer ($12.99).

Only the 12-month offer adds the Forever bonuses.

Want to play a Skyborne? The Heroic Pack is the minimum.

Want 30 days of game time plus the bear mount and pets? Take the Epic Pack.

Want the Warcraft III Forsaken Kingdom campaign too?

Take the Collection before January 11, 2027.

You can start on a subscription and buy a pack later.

The store only requires that you own the Heroic Pack or higher.

When you buy it does not matter.

Blizzard has not published the price to move up from the Heroic Pack.

That goes for both the Epic Pack and the Collection.

The public store page lists only the full prices of the three packs.

Pack benefits apply only to the WoW account you buy them for (store footnote).

Pick that account first.

The physical Collector's Edition adds collectibles to a Warcraft Forever Collection code.

The box holds a dwarf-and-bear statue, a Zephras Isle mousepad and art prints.

It also has a pair of collectible pins and a companion journal.

The U.S. Blizzard Gear Store lists it at $150.00.

The European Gear Store's English edition costs €150.00.

Both showed it as sold out on November 11, 2026.

Orders placed on or after September 24 are scheduled to ship in February 2027.

All sales are final.

The U.S. store ships only to select locations in North and South America.

It limits orders to one per household.

Conditions to check before you pay

After the Epic Pack's or Collection's 30 days, you need a subscription or more game time.

Blizzard's pack announcement said the 30 days would be added starting November 4.

When the 30 days arrive for a pack bought after launch is not stated.

Pack items do not work in WoW Classic.

Store items marked * work in both retail WoW and WoW Forever.

Items marked ** work only in WoW Forever.

Housing decor works only in retail housing.

The U.S. and European store footnotes add that Housing requires Midnight.

World of Warcraft: Midnight is sold separately.

If you want the decor, check that you own Midnight first.

Invite-A-Friend Launch Codes are not beta access.

They give a friend access during launch week only.

Bought a digital pack first, then redeemed a Collector's Edition code?

The U.S. Gear Store offers a Battle.net Balance credit for that.

The credit equals what you paid, and the code must be redeemed by December 31, 2027.

Some credits are automatic; others need Blizzard Customer Support.

Not every product or upgrade path qualifies.

The U.S. Gear Store lists where the Collector's Edition digital code works.

That is North America, Latin America, South America and Europe.

The Middle East, Africa, Australia and New Zealand are also on the list.

Refunds after launch: the short version

Real-money purchases are final, but you can request a refund review for an order.

Log in to the account you bought on and open Battle.net Support.

Pick Payments, Refunds, Continue.

The system then checks your recent orders and says which ones qualify.

WoW subscriptions are generally non-refundable.

The same refund review can still look for an exception.

Our refund guide covers what each purchase type allows after launch.

It also covers Korean and EU rules and what you lose when an order is refunded.

Before you pay, check the final price and terms on the checkout screen.
