Overview

  • Mecha Break launched July 1 as a free-to-play third-person mech shooter on PC and Xbox Series X/S with cross-play support but without cross-progression.
  • The game attracted more than 50,000 concurrent users within ten minutes of launch and peaked at over 132,000 concurrent players on Steam.
  • Early Steam reviews rate Mecha Break at 65% positive as players criticize its four-currency system and the cost of cosmetic and run-affecting items.
  • Customization options available during beta have been removed or placed behind paywalls, prompting backlash from fans who expected free personalization.
  • Amazing Seasun Games maintains that all core gameplay remains free and says it is actively reviewing feedback on in-game purchases to adjust its monetization approach.
