LBP Hub is a remixed freemium take on the Create, Play, Share formula popularized by LittleBigPlanet 1 & 2. Gamers can participate in some features free-of-charge, or purchase small, specific LBP elements on a piece-by-piece basis.The free download gives gamers access to the first world from both LBP 1 & 2 - 16 levels in total, with all their included costumes and knick knacks. Free players also get "unrestricted access" to Create Mode, the full collection of weekly team-picked community levels (more than 500 and counting), as well as a new weekly challenges feature.Gamers that already purchased LBP 1 and/or 2 will be able to import their profiles into LBP Hub, granting access to all of your previously-purchased content. New players will be able to buy this content in individual pieces.LittleBigPlanet Hub will be available later this year. IGN will have more details on Sackboy's latest as they become available.
