Not even Squad is immune to monetization, it turns out.

There is no immediate sign that Offworld wants or plans to go Full Fortnite, but I can't help but share in this particular cynicism. I watched firsthand as Rainbow Six Siege, a military FPS that once had a unified style of tacticool anti-terrorist operators, descended into tacky hell with grotesque, Nier Automata, and most recently WWE crossover skins.
It's true that since its early access release in 2015, Squad has stood out as a well-supported FPS with zero microtransactions. Last year alone, free updates added a new faction, weapons, maps, and. Its only major price increase happened when it released out of early access in 2020, moving from $40 to $50. I understand why Squad's old model could become unsustainable—milsims are inherently a niche genre and there is, at some point, a limit to how many new people want to buy the game.
Our approach to the future of Squad is to keep it as inclusive as we possibly can. Creating maps and factions takes a lot of time and effort and we wish for our entire community to be able to enjoy the fruits of our hard work."Sign up to get the best content of the week, and great gaming deals, as picked by the editors.Receive email from us on behalf of our trusted partners or sponsors
