Destruction AllStars garnered consideration when it was introduced as certainly one of the launch titles for the PS5. But, a myriad of points, together with a delay, brought about curiosity to rapidly fade. However, two years later, the recreation continues to be in energetic improvement, and Lucid Games just lately acknowledged that it’s nonetheless dedicated to the title. In truth, it appears to be like prefer it is likely to be the vanguard for Sony’s dwell service aspirations.

While many thought it will be rapidly deserted, Destruction AllStars has come a great distance since its shaky launch, and Lucid Games continues to add new options and content material. It now has seasonal content material and a Battle Pass, and there are a number of development methods that web gamers new cosmetics.
Despite Lucid Games’ enthusiasm, there are nonetheless points with the recreation. For one, although it’s included as a part of PlayStation Plus Extra, it nonetheless prices $19.99 to buy outright ($39.99 for the Digital Deluxe Edition). Despite being a paid recreation, the development mannequin and premium foreign money reek of free-to-play. Earlier this yr, there have been rumors that the recreation would transition to a F2P mannequin, however that hasn’t occurred but.
It additionally continues to lean closely into the Fortnite aesthetic that turned many gamers off. Many vehicular fight followers had hoped this recreation would venture Twisted Metal vibes, and that is something however that. It appears to be like like the studio was banking on the relaunch of PS Plus to deliver new Extra and Premium tier gamers to the recreation. However, since Sony doesn’t publish participant counts, it’s onerous to gauge how effectively that’s labored out.
Regardless, I like Lucid Games’ dedication to Destruction AllStars. It would have been simple to throw in the towel when it launched to middling critiques. But, as a substitute, the studio continues to preserve bringing enhancements and content material to gamers.
