Free-to-play 3v3 shooter Spectre Divide, launched in September 2024, is shutting down just six months later, weeks after its PS5 and Xbox Series X|S release. Its developer, Mountaintop Studios, is also closing its doors.
Mountaintop CEO Nate Mitchell announced the news via social media. The statement explains that the Season 1 launch fell short of the success needed to sustain the game and the studio. While the game initially attracted around 400,000 players in its first week, with a peak concurrent player count of approximately 10,000 across all platforms, long-term player retention and revenue proved insufficient to cover operating costs. Despite exploring options like seeking a publisher, additional investment, or acquisition, Mountaintop was unable to secure the necessary funding. Mitchell acknowledged the current challenging climate within the gaming industry.

The statement continues that despite stretching their remaining capital, they ultimately ran out of funding to support the game. Spectre Divide will be taken offline within the next 30 days. Players will receive refunds for any money spent since the Season 1 launch.
This news contradicts October 2024 reports assuring players that Spectre Divide was not facing closure. At that time, Mitchell stated that Mountaintop had sufficient funds to support the game long-term.
