168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Foamstars, a four-versus-four 'party shooter' from Toylogic, is going free-to-play on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 after October 4. Additionally, while a PlayStation Plus subscription was previously necessary to play Fomastars, this prerequisite has also been removed.

The Legacy Gift will contain "12 exclu❀sive colour-variant Bubble Beastie skins, 1 exclusive Slide Board de🐻sign and the Legacy title." Foamstars is currently priced at $29.99, the price it was released at.
Foamstars Goes The Free-To-Play Route
A regarding the switch to free-to-play has shown a positive reception to the idea. Players have become accustomed to publishers and developers shutting down live-service titles when player counts drop low enough, so 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Square Enix attempting s🎃omething to revive the game is a pleasant surp🍒rise.
"This is pretty awesome news! I've been playing this game since it came out on day one for PS Plus members, and I can't wait for more new players to join!" one comment reads. "Genuinely surprised they are going this route instead of axing it. Rare Square Enix good choice," reads another.
Foamstars was a PlayStation exclusive until August 5, meaning the exclusivity window has now passed. If free-to-play proves successful, we may see Square Enix bring the game to other platforms like PC and Nintendo Switch. This could be another route to raising Foamstar's number of concurrent players.
Foamstars was released to middling reviews, and our own Jade King predicted a drop-off inཧ player numbers even before Foamstars had been released. It's an unforgiving climate for live-service titles - Sony's recent high-budget release Concord is languishing with a🧜n average of 250 concurrent players just a week out from release.
Foamstars is a competitive party-based shooter in which players compete for terrain using foam guns, hindering their opponents in the process😼. Each charꩵacter has unique abilities, and several game modes keep things fun.
