Highguard, a free-to-play 3v3 raid shooter from former Apex Legends developers, debuted on January 26, 2026, across PC, PS5, and Xbox amid server overloads and performance glitches. The game quickly amassed over 9,000 Steam reviews, with more than 7,000 rated negative, citing slow gameplay and large maps unfit for the format. A false claim by streamer DrDisrespect about attending a preview event added to the launch's controversies.
Developer Wildlight Entertainment has locked in a new 5v5 mode for its shooter Highguard, responding to mixed reception after a rocky launch. The update has improved Steam reviews to 'Mixed,' though concurrent players continue to fall. This change aims to address criticisms of empty maps in the game's larger battles.
