A sandbox MMO with a player-run economy, where nearly every item is crafted by players and full-loot PvP zones put gear at risk.
Who can play
- No split-screen on any platform.
- Online for up to 20 players on PC and Xbox.
- Crossplay between PC and Xbox. Xbox Series, PC, Mac, Linux and mobile all share one world and its servers.
- Free to play.
How it plays
Groups divide work between gathering, crafting and fighting, and the riskier zones are much safer to travel together.
Losing your gear on death in the black zones makes voice chat and planning important.
The game is free, with an optional premium status.
