The game, released on November 20th 2012, is nearing its tenth anniversary. In January, Ed named it one ofthe 10 best MMOs and MMORPGs to play in 2022. “At its core Planetside 2 is a fairly straightforward class shooter about capturing and holding bases, but it comes alive when played alongside other players in organised squads,” he said. “Plotting a course across a massive battlefield, leading counter-attacks or daring raids on enemy bases, is a thrill and a spectacle on a scale most other shooters can’t get close to.”

Planetside 2 is free-to-play onSteam. You can pore over the full patch notes on the official sitehere.
