GamersFirst's free-to-play rendition of APB: Reloaded has garnered quite the following, and with its recent release on Steam more than 3 million gamers have signed up to try the game out.
Rahul Sandil, SVP of marketing and business development for GamersFirst commented in the press release, saying... “We recognized the potential for APB Reloaded to be a true breakout hit in the Free2Play category all through beta testing,” “We quickly amassed a vocal, dedicated community, and they’ve been instrumental in growing the game and helping better the experience. We also attracted a partner in [a]list games, a digital game market maker who launched a worldwide campaign to raise the game’s visibility and help it appeal to a broader audience. Ultimately, players who discover a new free game decide if there’s enough value and quality to keep playing, and APB Reloaded’s trajectory tells us a growing number are being blown away by what they’re getting.” In addition to launching on Steam, APB: Reloaded will be hitting retail shelves in including Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy and other stores across North America for $29.99. The retail boxed edition will include unique and original premium items, a customized car, and a weapon, along with 30 days of premium boosting. APB: Reloaded also recently received two new maps for close-quarter PvP for those looking for a more traditional, non-open world deathmatch scenario. You can try the game out right now, for free, by visiting the Official Website or downloading the game through the Steam client. |
