Highguard, the new free‑to‑play PvP raid shooter from ex‑Apex and Titanfall devs, has officially launched and hit a peak of around 97,000 concurrent players on Steam, but is already sitting at a “Mostly Negative” user review score. The game was heavily hyped after its Game Awards 2025 reveal and is out on PC via Steam, with console versions not yet announced, so this early sentiment is a big deal for its future. For my PC players, this is one to try if you’re curious, but maybe don’t spend on cosmetics until the dust settles.
