In a post on the official forums, Turtle Rock Studios has announced that Evolve will be going free to play on PC, along with a variety of other changes:
"We’re going to make Evolve free on PC as a Beta starting on July 7. This is going to allow us to hit our new server infrastructure really hard and we need your help testing. Stuff could break, and that’s our hope, because that will give us time to improve things as we go. We’ll parse out major Beta revisions, updates and features over a period of weeks and months -- a plan we're going to continually communicate here.
This allows us to test new features and major changes to make our game more accessible and ever closer to the joy we saw when we first showed our baby to the world. Just as importantly, this Beta plan gives us the flexibility and time we need to keep fixing bugs and making Evolve more stable."
Furthermore, anyone who has already purchased Evolve on PC will be given a "Founder" status, which includes any content they already bought.
The countdown found on the official Evolve website which we reported on earlier is scheduled to end tomorrow and may very well involve more details on Evolve going free to play.

Well well well, if it isn't the most expensive game of all time pulling up a chair to the FTP table.
Maybe... I'm going to try it out..
Its good but maybe it should have launched like this I don't think this change will evolve the game in a success, its too late.
It certainly opens the door for more fans. Maybe even overseas where people tend to flock to the F2P stuff.
Odds are it won't make the game a huge success, but its certainly worth trying.
Saw this coming along time ago because of modest sales. More games should opt for this model in my opinion.
Let's hope the PC users bump up and it makes some money as F2P so it comes to console. I really like the concept of the asymmetrical style but was never going to pay for something that from all account had little in the way of actual game while having lots of 'DLC'.
