Overview
- PUBG: Blindspot, an online-only spinoff, will be delisted and its servers switched off on Monday, March 30, ending access for all players.
- The early access shooter launched on February 5 as a free-to-play 5v5 tactical game with no microtransactions.
- Arc Team representative Sequoia Yang said the studio is no longer able to sustainably provide the level of experience it planned for early access.
- Public data from SteamDB shows an all-time peak of about 3,251 players near launch and a sharp drop that left long matchmaking queues.
- Arc Team says it will take time to regroup, with Krafton’s recent cost-cutting and profit pressure providing context for the swift shutdown.
