Mirroring the strategy employed by EA and its Online Pass, THQ has confirmed that upcoming shooter Homefront will include the THQ Pass.
Shacknews reports that single-use code will be included with the game. Those who buy a pre-owned copy can obtain a new code from THQ for $10. The THQ Pass was first seen with last year’s UFC 2010.
Unlike with EA Sports titles, those without a code will still be able to play Homefront online. However, their character will be capped at level five. Those with a THQ Pass will be able to level up all the way to level 75.
Players will be free to carry on playing online without levelling up, and the single-player mode is not affected.
Homefront is due for release on Xbox 360 and PS3 on March 11th. A PC version is also in the works.
