Announced at The Game Awards, Highguard picqued the interest of the community. After being released on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S this Monday, the game peaked at nearly 100,000 players on Steam alone… but with very poor reviews. However, it was developed by Wildlight Entertainment, a California-based studio whose members include former Respawn developers who worked on Apex Legends, Titanfall, and even Call of Duty.
At the time of writing, the game has only 31% positive reviews out of 19,000 written, leaving a very negative overall rating for the free-to-play game. The negatives are mainly about the size of the map, bugs, and optimization.
