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

Spectre Divide will be taken offline within 30 days. Players will receive refunds for any money spent since the Season 1 launch.
This news contradicts October 2024 reports assuring players the game was secure and would continue to receive updates. Mitchell's previous statement claimed Mountaintop had sufficient funds to support Spectre Divide for an extended period.
IGN's August 2024 preview praised *Spectre Divide*'s tactical 3v3 gameplay and innovative Duality system, allowing players to control two characters simultaneously. However, the game's swift closure follows the recent failures of other live-service titles, including Rocksteady's *Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League* and Sony's *Concord*.
