APB Reloaded Launches On Xbox One & Has A $200 DLC Option!

GTA-Style MMO APB Reloaded Quietly Launches on Xbox One, Has a $200 DLC Option

The GTA-inspired APB: Reloaded has quietly launched on Xbox
One today, marking the long-running free-to-play MMO's console debut.

All Points Bulletin was first released on PC in 2010 as a subscription-based MMO. It was developed by Grand
Theft Auto creator David Jones' studio, Realtime Worlds, which is best known for the original Crackdown. APB was essentially pitched as an MMO
version of GTA, but it struggled out of the gateand was sold
off and then re-released as a free-to-play game under the name APB: Reloaded in 2011. It's now developed by Reloaded Games and published by Ravenscourt.

Reloaded on Xbox One is, like the PC version, free-to-play, offering open-world combat for up to 100 players (in 50-versus-50 battles), a range of vehicles and weapons, in-depth customization options, and more. Players
choose between a role as a law enforcer or criminal and then wreak havoc (or clean it up) on the streets.

While the game is free to download and play (though you will need an Xbox Live Gold subscription), it does of course have microtransactions. You can purchase G1C, a currency used to pay for various services and things
like weapons and clothing on the in-game marketplace. This comes in packages as small as $5 for 400 G1C up to a whopping $200 for 20,800.

The developers are calling this a "soft launch," hence the relatively quiet release. Those who play the game during its first 30 days (or before the first patch arrives, if that should come sooner) will receive a free
Founders Pack, which consists of things like the Fireworks Flare Launcher and a vehicle. If you play more than 10 hours during this period, you'll also get an exclusive in-game title and some weapon skins.

A PS4 version of APB: Reloaded is also in the works, though it doesn't yet have a date. In a blog
post, the developer says that Reloaded will come to PS4 "after the first post-launch patch for Xbox One," which is roughly a month away. Both console versions were previously
slated for release in mid-2015.

The developer's post also goes on to address the PC audience, acknowledging problems it's faced.

"As many of you guys are aware, we have been in development limbo (or development hell) for a very long time," it said. "The console versions were originally supposed to ship a long time ago and we were contractually
obligated to release the new engine on the console version before shipping these changes on PC. Since the new engine performs really well on PC, it has been a bit frustrating to be stuck in this mode for this long."

It also says with the console releases now finally happening, it'll be a boon for the PC version.

of apb reloaded for the xbox one id be grateful.

 

Never heard of it.

Don't have time to try or to play another MMO,but i guess it's nice to have a "new" game.

Hum....Now,i wait for APB vs GTA online comparisions.

 

got to many games to care about another freemium rob you blind with microtransactions game

 

Got it downloaded and will give it a try, doubt it will be a game I will continue to play though.

 

^^ Good luck with that.It did come out on Tuesday but due to server issues it was pulled from the marketplace.Not sure if it's back up.

I've never been able to get passed the loading screen after character selection.Game is well broken.

 

Worked perfectly fine for me, but awful game. Deleted it straight away lol

 

The only thing I've managed to do in this game is make a character.

Anyone who would pay $200 for this games DLC is kwazier than I am. lol

 

I wouldn't touch this game with a 10' pole.

 

Made a character and have spent 3+ hours on the loading screen trying to play....looks like it's back to smite...

 

APB Was actually an arcade game from 1987 that took your coins at a rapid rate.

 

^ Can anyone who was alive in the 80's actually verify that for those of us who weren't?

 

Yes me, I was obviously a Kid Basically you drove around arresting people for various reasons and bought doughnuts, Sorry U.S peeps Donuts. It was ok but quite difficult for me being a kiddie.

 

I didn't intend on derailing this thread, you should all try it out if you're interested. Graphically it doesn't look amazing but it does look fun. Also, I couldn't find it on the Xb1 or PS4, both Australian and U.S. The reason I was looking is that you
get some freebies if you play early.
