Does How to Really Fish Have Game Passes or Paid Items?

How to Really Fish sold no game passes, we said. It has two. Here is the check that showed us, and the endpoint that actually works.

What we got wrong

Until 10 September 2026 this page said that How to Really Fish sold no game passes. That was false, and the way it became false is worth writing down, because it is the kind of error that survives any amount of careful writing afterwards.

Our check was a request to a Roblox endpoint under games.roblox.com carrying this game's universe ID. It came back 404. We read that as an empty result, and the claim that the game sold no passes went from there onto this page and into our cash, money, weapons and beta guides.

A 404 is not an empty result. It means the address does not exist, and it carries no information about the game behind it. We should have run the same request against a game we already knew sold passes before believing the answer. When we finally did, Grow a Chicken Fighter, which sells 33 passes, returned the same 404, and so did Adopt Me. An endpoint that 404s for every game cannot be evidence about any single one of them.

The endpoint that actually works

The list below now comes from apis.roblox.com/game-passes/v1/universes/10758034175/game-passes with passView=Full and limit=100. It returned HTTP 200 with two records for How to Really Fish when we read it on 10 September 2026.

passView=Full is not decorative. Without it the same request still returns the pass names, the on-sale flags and the creation and modification timestamps, but it drops the price and the developer. A page that quotes a price for this game has sent that parameter, and a page that describes the endpoint without it has not run the check it is describing.

The other shape worth knowing is what a real absence looks like. A game that sells nothing returns 200 with an empty list from this endpoint. That is a verified zero, and it looks nothing like a 404. The difference between the two is the whole of our mistake.

The two passes this game has

Both records belong to the game's own developer, the group Crazy Fishing Friends, and the two entries below are what the endpoint returned with nothing added. This is a snapshot taken on 10 September 2026: a pass can be repriced or delisted at any time, and we have not bought or tested either of these.

We have not been able to establish how many copies of either pass have been sold, when the test pass was taken off sale, or why it was left on the game's record rather than deleted. We are not going to fill any of that in.

• Dual Uzis [Forever] — 259 Robux, on sale, created 4 September 2026, last modified 6 September 2026, no description written by the developer
• Publish Tool Test Pass — no price, not for sale, created 5 September 2026, last modified 5 September 2026; its description reads: Created by tools/roblox_publish to verify game pass upload. Safe to delete.

What the Dual Uzis pass changes on our other pages

Our lures and weapons guide had been saying that no weapon is named and none has a published price, which was true only because the check behind it was broken. Dual Uzis [Forever] is a weapon, it is sold on Roblox as a purchase, and 259 Robux is a published price. That does not overturn anything else on those pages — no lure is named, and no in-game cash price exists anywhere we can read — but it closes one gap they had left open, which was whether this game sells weapons for real money at all.

The word Forever is the other new fact. It is the first thing this developer has published that separates a permanent unlock from a temporary one, and until now the game's only word for an upgrade, lure, left permanent, tiered and consumable all equally possible. That is evidence about the developer's vocabulary rather than about lures, and we are not going to stretch it further than that.

Why a leftover test pass is worth listing

Publish Tool Test Pass is tooling debris. Its own description names the internal publishing tool that created it and states that it is safe to delete. It has no price and is not for sale, so nothing about it can be bought. We are listing it because it is the detail that shows the two records were read rather than guessed: a page working from an invented list would not know it existed, and a page copying another site's list would not have it either.

Anyone can run the same request and see the same two names, which is the point of a check like this. Our mistake was not that we could not verify it. It is that we stopped at a response code.

What this still does not rule out

Roblox has a second monetisation mechanism, developer products, which are one-off purchases rather than permanent unlocks, and it is served from a different endpoint. We have not queried that one for this game. So we cannot say How to Really Fish has no single-purchase items, and we are not going to turn an unchecked endpoint into a clean bill of health.

There is also the ordinary possibility of more passes later. The game launched on 24 August 2026, the Dual Uzis pass was created on 4 September 2026, and the developer says the game is in beta and updated weekly. A pass list holding two entries today is not a promise about next month, which is why this page carries the date its list was read.

Is the game free to play?

Yes, in the sense that matters. There is no purchase price for the game itself, and nothing the badges measure is gated behind a payment. The one purchasable pass is an optional weapon, and Kraken Slayer, the badge for the game's one named boss, shows 304,803 holders at a 100% completion rate, which is hard to reconcile with a boss that requires a paid weapon to beat.

The correction does change a sentence this page used to carry. It is no longer true that there is nothing to buy here. What is still true is narrower and worth stating precisely: no badge in the set tracks a purchase, the three cash milestones are earned in play, and with the developer-product endpoint unqueried we cannot claim that nothing in this game can be bought.
