Tencent to Shut Down Synced Just One Year After Launch

The free-to-play co-op shooter will be retired in September due to dwindling player base and persistent issues.

  • Synced will be terminated on September 9, 2024, a year after its official release.
  • The game saw a peak of over 10,000 concurrent players at launch but failed to maintain its audience.
  • Recent player counts have dropped to double digits, with many users citing bugs and long queue times.
  • New registrations and in-app purchases have been disabled ahead of the shutdown.
  • The game's Steam reviews have shifted from 'mixed' to 'mostly negative' in recent months.
