This is what made EA free to play shooter Apex Legends so compelling when that launched in early 2019.ĮA’s relative lack of a track record in this space, combined with the premium price, have contributed to an unsuccessful title. Rocket Arena is a new IP from EA, a publisher known more for its sports sims and traditional multiplayer modes than it is for any standalone multiplayer titles. The problem seems to be that EA decided to charge for the game. Rocket Arena Failure Is Likely Because It’s Not Free to Play Its heroes and abilities are also not unlike Overwatch, Paladins, or the dozens of other hero shooters that have been released over the last five years. Its core gameplay, of acrobatic and explosive gunplay, is fun, though not groundbreaking. Rocket Arena does not appear to be a bad game. Its peak concurrent players were 913 and that was on July 14, the day that the game was released. Data from SteamDB reveal that the game has had a peak of just 142 concurrent players in the last 24 hours. The stunning discount is not the only suggestion that Rocket Arena hasn’t set the gaming world alight. The Rocket Arena Mythic Edition, which features multiple “Mythic” cosmetics and the game’s premium currency, Rocket Fuel, is now 75% cheaper. The Rocket Arena Standard Edition, which only comes with the game, is 83% off.
