The PC version of APB Reloaded
The PC version of APB Reloaded

Free-to-play PC game APB: Reloaded is coming to Xbox One and PlayStation 4, and will be published by Saints Row and Dead Island company Deep Silver, the company announced today.

Scheduled to launch by June 2015, the game won't require a PlayStation Plus membership on PS4, but Xbox One owners will need an Xbox Live Gold subscription to play, Deep Silver confirmed.

The PC version of APB Reloaded has accumulated more than 5 million players since December 2011. The original version of the game, simply titled APB, was developed by Realtime Worlds (Crackdown). However, when the studio collapsed, Reloaded Productions acquired the game and released it again as Reloaded.

Set in a fictional near-future city called San Paro, APB Reloaded lets gamers play as one of two factions: Enforcer or Criminal. The game, something of an MMO, features sprawling multiplayer matches that can reach up to 100 simultaneous players (up to 50 vs. 50).

Similar to other free-to-play games, APB Reloaded on consoles will let players earn new items such as gear, vehicles, and customization options either through gameplay or by spending real-world money.

Deep Silver has not yet shared any images or video of the console edition of APB Reloaded. The game is being co-developed by Reloaded Games and The Workshop Entertainment.

Top game and have played 5 years on and off on the PC version.

Honest opinion maybe one of the best FPS games I have ever played on PC and console.


Some people just don't connect with APB, most of them suffer problems playing the game and often blame the game but its a demanding game and often they don't have a good enough connection or PC to run the game.


People ask if its p2w, I can honestly say no it is not pay to win, at least the PC version is not.

People confuse being awful at playing the game with the weapon choices you use in the game.


With the PC version you rank up and unlock vendor rental weapons which you can spend your in game money on 10 day rentals of the weapons.

Some of these weapons are better than weapons I have purchased for £25 for account life time making the so called p2w rubbish, yes some can be OP for a bit when new weapons are released but this is a common problem and they often get nurfed if that's the case to balance the gameplay.


Just don't get confused with Bad team work, if you all use close ranged weapons you don't stand much chance against the opposition who are packing a mix of ranged and close range weapons and that's the pay2win people often complain about...


This game can also be very social with clans and friends, you also get the chance to make a lot of good friends/people to regularly play the game with, or even solo in so called Pugs - random groups.


Its a great game just try it and make your own mind up

I hope the disappointment doesn't hit you too hard!


Hehehe nah just kidding, hope you end up enjoying it more than I did, was excited when it went free 2 play initially and the best part of the game for me was how quick it uninstalls.

Well it doesn't seem to matter as this game, from everything I've seen and read, is pretty much garbage. Who cares what system...

<< LINK REMOVED >> Put in the effort to learn it (and learn which weapons you handle best) and it's a blast. However, it is a game you shouldn't take too seriously at the same time.

I'll try it out, but not expecting much. The paywall always looms large in FTP. I don't mind throwing some dollars in as I play, but in PVP it seems like the pay wall would always be between you and fun.

Ah, APB: Reloaded, some of the best character customization in ANY game, but it's also the heaviest game in "pay to win" I've ever played. It wouldn't be a bad game if it weren't for the P2W crud and if it had better matchmaking (and better anti-cheat measures, I'm fairly positive a good number of gold rank players are cheating), but as it is, it's more frustrating than fun.

<< LINK REMOVED >> You're one of those 'players', eh? APB: Reloaded has a lot of pay for content (mostly weapons/customs/cars), but it isn't P2W. A good player can pick up a base HVR, a 1-slot OCA/
PMG... a BASE N-tec, or better yet a pre-modded one you can get by just ranking up and dominate people with "p2w guns".


I have insane hours into it... so maybe it's just experience. lol

It wasn't launched originally as f2p.

It went bankrupt very quickly. Maybe a month? Ea gave me mass effect ummm 2 I think for free because of it.

Another company bought it and turned it into what it is now.

On a side note, I do have to give APB credit for doing something right that GTAV managed to screw up: Passengers in vehicles can use two-handed weapons!

I like how people are arguing about the game being free on PSN and not free on XBL, when the game isn't even good anyway.

<< LINK REMOVED >> It's "not good" because it's not BF or CoD? Or not GTA? The game is awesome, even if it has some issues... at least on the PC. Hopefully with a different publisher, the PS4/Xbox One servers won't have the same problems.

It was fun before it went bankrupt so quickly and got bought and turned f2p.

I liked crashing my car into people doing shootouts.

Holy shtako! APB was totally a thing wasn't it!? That was a fun game at launch once you got past all the annoying BS...except you couldn't get past the annoying BS....


I loved the customization in there to, nothing like seeing a car with "Nazimobile" and the N racial slur plastered on it on every other player car! Who would have thought that it might be an insane disaster to allow a MMO community free reign on a great editor!

<< LINK REMOVED >> Great times.

What about the fact that you could have paid for your game time by selling in game cash on their auction house in Social District for that currency you had to buy if you wanted to add more game time to your account. That was pretty sweet.

A year ago I actually booted up reloaded. Was logged in for a whole 5 minutes before I saw a character that looked EXACTLY like Adolf Hitler. Suit, Swastika armband, stache, hairstyle.. It was.. divine.

I remember my first time chilling in the social district before it went F2P too.. I was approached by an obese Hawaiian looking man named Sue. He was essentially fully naked (more details below) except for his socks. He approached me, and gave me a pair of his newly created underpants named: The panties for men. The ones he gave me were surprisingly tailored to by skin tone, and upon wearing them they blended into your characters skin (if appropriately coloured) and would look as if your male character was sporting a vagina. I thanked him for my newfound manhood as his chunky frame sprinted off into the distance.

I never saw him again. It was the single greatest moment I've ever experience in an online community.

APB Reloaded is an extremely fun game with a rather unique format. Don't believe all the PC trolls, most of them probably quit after one match and never bothered to learn about the game. See you all on the consoles.
