All Points Bulletin (APB) Reloaded, a massively multiplayer online video game has quietly launched for Microsoft Xbox One.
The GTA-inspired video game was developed by Realtime Worlds and was released in June 2010 for Microsoft Windows in Europe and North America. In January 2015, Deep Silver - the game distributor - announced that an Xbox One and Sony PlayStation 4 (PS4) version will be launched in Q2 of 2015 but the release window passed without any official announcement.
"We are working with Reloaded Games and The Workshop Entertainment to transform the hit PC Free2Play Action MMO All Points Bulletin: Reloaded into a game destined for the new generation consoles. On its release the game will be free to play and freely downloadable for all owners of PlayStation 4, and for Xbox Live Gold members on Xbox One. Expect the launch in late Q2 2015," said Deep Silver.
APB Reloaded offers open-world combat for up to 100 players (in 50-versus-50 battles). Gamers have access to a wide range of weapons and vehicles, in-depth customization options and more. Gamers play either as a law enforcement officer or as a criminal.
"Hit the streets as a licensed vigilante or hardened criminal in the crime-ravaged metropolis of San Paro where shootouts, car-chases, robbery and vandalism are all in a day's work. Customize your gear with the richest character customization available today and choose from tons of modifications for your weapons and vehicles," says Xbox Store.
During the game, players climb in rank of their chosen organization and earn fame, exotic vehicles, deadly weapons and more.
Although customers can download APB Reloaded for free from Xbox Store, they have the option to purchase in-game currency called G1C, which can be used for purchasing weapons, clothing and more in the game's marketplace. The purchase options start from $4.99 (400 G1C) and it goes up to $199.99 (20,800 G1C).
Gamers who play the game within the first 30 days (or before the arrival of the first patch) will get a free Founders Pack consisting of a vehicle and a Fireworks Flare Launcher. Gamers who play APB Reloaded for more than 10 hours within this period will also receive several weapon skins and an exclusive in-game title.
The game developer also has a PS4 version of the game in the works but a launch date remains unknown.
