APB Reloaded apprehends 3 million players
Rebooted free-to-play online shooter touts milestone a week after leaving beta period.
APB flopped as a subscription-based large-scale online shooter, but the game has found a second life with a new business model. GamersFirst officially launched APB Reloaded out of beta last week and today announced that the free-to-play reboot has already far surpassed its predecessor with more than 3 million registered players.
By comparison, Realtime Worlds launched the subscription-based APB in June of 2010 and shut it down that September after attracting just 130,000 players.
APB Reloaded is currently available on Valve's Steam service for free, but GamersFirst is planning a retail launch of the game next week. While that version of the free-to-play game will sell for $30, it will contain $50 worth of virtual goods.
