The Pre-Paid Balance/Credit System Explained

There Are 2 forms of pre-paid balance which can be found in your Billing Page:

  • Software
  • Game Licenses

Software+

Software refers to the funds available in your account specifically designated for utilization towards SynthesisVR features and additional add-ons. Every new Essential Access account comes with $250.00 worth of free credits. This can be utilized to purchase any add-on except Content Add-On: Steam.

SynthesisVR will initially charge your existing Free Balance for your add-ons before attempting to charge your other types of balance available. If there are not enough pre-paid balance to cover your subscription cost, SynthesisVR will charge your credit card on file.

Game Licenses+

Game License refers to the funds available in your account specifically designated for utilization towards game content. A minimum of $100 is required to commence your commercial licensing process. This initial balance serves as an entry point to access the SynthesisVR content store, providing you with access to all games available under Essential Access.

Throughout the month, your game usage is monitored. On the first day of each month, your total charge is calculated, taking into account the previous month’s game and content usage. This sum is then deducted from your Game Licenses balance. If your usage exceeds the balance, the remaining amount will be charged to your credit card.
