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 failed to achieve the necessary success to sustain the game and the studio. While initially optimistic, with around 400,000 players in the first week and a peak concurrent player count of approximately 10,000 across all platforms, the game ultimately lacked the sustained player base and revenue to cover operational costs. Despite exploring options like finding a publisher, seeking additional investment, and considering acquisition, Mountaintop was unable to secure the necessary funding. Mitchell acknowledged the current challenging climate within the gaming industry.

The statement continued that 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 announcement contradicts October 2024 reports assuring players the game wasn't going anywhere and that Mountaintop had sufficient funds to support it for an extended period.
IGN’s August 2024 preview praised *Spectre Divide*'s tactical 3v3 gameplay and its intriguing Duality system, allowing players to control two characters simultaneously. However, the game's swift closure follows a string of other failed live-service titles, including *Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League* and *Concord*.
