Summary
Tactical FPS game Spectre Divide, released in June 2022, has not survived the competitive market, with its developer Mountaintop Studios shutting down
The game was a fresh take on the genre but may not have differentiated itself enough from competitors such as Valorant and Counter Strike
Mountaintop Studios has not managed to secure enough players or revenue since the launch of Season 1 to cover the costs of operating the game and the studio
The studio has now announced its closure, and the game will be taken offline in the next 30 days
-refunds will be issued to players who have made purchases since the season launch
tough competition in the games market and a lack of distinctiveness may have contributed to the studio’s closure
