Overview

• Wargaming will shut down Steel Hunters servers on October 8, ending the game’s early access period just three months after its April launch.
• The studio announced the decision on the game’s Steam page, attributing it to unsustainable development following steep declines in player numbers.
• Steel Hunters reached a peak of 4,479 concurrent players at launch but recently averaged around 250 according to SteamDB.
• Over the next 90 days, all Hunters—including unreleased variants—will be unlocked and a custom game mode enabled for community matches.
• A farewell tournament will be hosted via Steel Hunters’ Discord to mark the community’s final opportunity to play before servers go offline.
