Arena Breakout Infinite (ABI) - Release Date Is Near, Server Issues May Occur
Release of Arena Breakout Infinite is approaching. While many players will jump on the bandwagon, servers issues may happen.
Despite strong franchises like Arena Breakout: Infinite launch in Early Access. Let’s analyze what’s the possibility of this game’s servers having issues upon its release.
Are server issues expected on Arena Breakout Infinite launch?
We should be already used to games underperforming on launch, which obviously doesn’t mean that such state is acceptable. We have seen, for example, overwhelmed by its popularity way back when. Is this the same destined for Arena Breakout: Infinite? Are server issues the new default when a title releases?
As a reminder, Arena Breakout: Infinite is scheduled to launch in Early Access on August 13, 2024, at 2AM UTC. This means:
- August 12, 2024, at 10PM EDT,
- August 12, 2024, at 7PM PDT,
- August 13, 2024, at 4AM CEST.
It is a long story about infrastructure and how the life of a game flows, yet simplifying the whole situation – yes, we can expect disruptions when ABI becomes available to wider audiences. We have already seen some issues during closed beta tests, and when a flood of new players arrive to test out this production (as it’s 14th most wishlisted game on Steam) the servers might not be able to handle all the traffic.
While we keep our fingers crossed that this title will prevail and go smoothly through the initial influx of fans while debuting in EA, we have to be prepared for difficulties along the way. Even if the start will be bumpy, it’s safe to assume that several hours or days after launch the situation will stabilize and allow us for uninterrupted fun.
Additionally it might be worth mentioning that, as of now, there are no plans for the game to be released on consoles.
