How it plays

  • Built around a squad of threeFriends drop in together, share loot, revive each other and use the ping system to point out enemies and items without talking.

  • Matches last around 20 minutes and early deaths come fast while you learn.

  • A private match needs at least 30 players, so a bigger group splits into separate squads.

  • PC, PlayStation, Xbox and Switch 2 players can team up; the original Switch version stopped working in August 2026.
