Overview
- The free-to-play 3v3 PvP raid shooter from ex-Respawn devs is now live on PC (Steam), PS5, and Xbox Series X|S with cross-play.
- Steam concurrents spiked to roughly 97,000 within the first hour, then fell sharply to under 20,000 by the following day, according to SteamDB tracking cited by outlets.
- Early player sentiment skews mostly negative on Steam, with roughly a third of reviews positive and complaints focusing on performance, server queues, matchmaking, and large maps for 3v3.
- Wildlight detailed a live-service roadmap that brings Episode 2 in about two weeks with a new Warden, a new map, ranked mode, and a fourth mount, followed by Episodes every two months and monthly content updates.
- Studio leaders say the TGA reveal failed to explain the game’s loop, note the team was built for fast iteration using lessons from Apex Legends, and emphasize building a dedicated core audience over headline player counts.
