Tactical first-person shooter Gray Zone Warfare released in early access April 30, 2024, and within two days of release, developers Madfinger Games sold more than 400K copies on Steam.
For those who don’t know, Gray Zone Warfare is a tactical shooter with realistic gameplay. It launched after the recent controversy around Battlestate Games’ Escape from Tarkov, which placed the title in the perfect environment to benefit from the backlash surrounding the Unheard Edition debacle. Dubbed an amalgamation of Arma, Escape from Tarkov, and Tom Clancy’s: Ghost Recon, Gray Zone Warfare presented the perfect opportunity for players to try something new and its enticing features were definitely up to standard at a glance. It was great timing and marketing, but unfortunately, it wasn’t a great product — at least when it launched.
