What's the state of the game
Bought it but it feels like there aren't many players.

Well yes we have lost a large chunk of the player base but more people play at afternoon/night time. Try playing solo or in Duos. Also don't forget there is private match now and you can find players on the Discord. I get games within 1-2 minutes.

The state of the game is alright devs are working on tweaking the combat. They haven't mentioned anything about a possible Season 4 though so that worries me. However the game you can still find people to play with.

The game is gradually dying, as you can see by the graphs.

Also, the Devs are working on it,
BUT!
They keep doing minor tweaks that actually stray the game further from its beginning,
making it a mediocre-at-best FPS game.

Hopefully you could make a refund.

I also wanted to ask the same thing but just did a quick check. Probably should have gotten it when it came out. 96 players in 24 hour peak is pretty low :/

Is there a crossplay for anyone who owns the game?

Yes crossplay works both on PS 5 and Xbox Series X with PC.

Cross play won’t help a bleeding player base.

They're gonna need a re-surge. Hmm, remember what R6S did when it wasn't that big? Devs sold keys for like 5 bucks or something and people began to pick it up, finding the game real fun! Maybe the devs could do the same thing, sort of re-lunch the game?

Well they have had several 50% off sales. The problem is the player retention is really low because this game has a very high skill ceiling.

Came back after half a year of not playing, and I gotta say... it's not looking good.

I'm sure the 30 or so lvl 500 players are enjoying the fact that they dominate every single game cause they've never stopped playing. Too bad they're contributing to newer/average players not wanting to keep on playing.

I just uninstalled btw, it was a fun experience back then but it's in an awful state right now. Sad to see it like this

Very high skill celling? I uninstall the game bc all i found was Cavalier with W3, one shoot Yu-Mi and people using the umbrella shield bc someone farted.

Maybe on the speedrunning side, there's a skill celling, but on the Combat side, there's a lot ofnbroken stuff that devs incentives more rather than punish.

player retention isnt low because of skill it is low because the game has no content. no goals. nothing to work to. sure you can max but that has no benefit. even some repeatable daily goals would go a LONG way to keeping people logged in, but ofc the devs are too busy tweaking stuff that doesnt matter to actually work on their game in a meaningful way.
