Now Free to Play!

Gene Shift Auto is now F2P. This will massively grow our playerbase, get fresh faces into our community and allow you to play with your friends for free! I want to thank everyone who has played the game so far. I couldn't have done this without you. Seeing you guys log in every day gave me the motivation to keep going all these years. We've been in Early Access for 5 years and a lot has changed, and I'm pumped that we've finally hit this massive milestone.

What Happens Now?

The new business model is simple. Multiplayer is Free to Play, and the singleplayer/coop survival mode is given to people who own the Deluxe Edition DLC. (In addition to other goodies like bonus challenges, cosmetics, kill coins etc). Nothing has really changed here, as this is how the Deluxe Edition already worked. Anyone who has ever spent real money on the game in the past should automatically have the Deluxe Edition in their Steam account. This is worth $15 USD same as the game was previously. So no one will be losing money from this change. If you don't have the DLC please contact me ASAP via discord or the Steam forums. Anyone who got the game during a free giveaway in the past will continue to play for free with all the same features as before, just now we will have far more people to shoot at!

Exclusive Rewards

Additionally, as thanks for your support all these years, all existing players have been given +2000 kill coins. You've also been given an exclusive cosmetic only available to accounts created before the F2P date. Log in to claim these rewards now!

Double XP Week

To celebrate this big change all players will earn double XP for the next 7 days. So tell your friends and come online for a game. Slaughter some nubs, level up fast, and see if you can become the last man standing! Much love, bencelot.
