Game-Changing Move: Former Xbox Exclusive Now Unleashed for Free on PS5!
A once-exclusive Xbox game now becomes a free-to-play sensation on the PS5 and PS4, capturing the attention of gamers everywhere with its soaring popularity
The PS5 now offers Naraka: Bladepoint, a formerly exclusive Xbox game, as a free-to-play option. This PvP battle royal game accommodates up to 60 players and is cross-platform compatible, allowing PlayStation, Xbox, and PC users to join forces simultaneously.
Naraka: Bladepoint deviates from the typical battle royal style by focusing on melee combat instead of traditional firearms. Players wield swords and spears, emphasizing combos and parries to outsmart opponents rather than relying on sheer strength. The gameplay incorporates parkour elements such as wall running and grappling hooks to navigate the expansive world. Additionally, Naraka: Bladepoint offers solo campaigns for those seeking a break from PvP action.
To celebrate Naraka: Bladepoint's two-year anniversary, NetEase Games has made the title free-to-play on PS4 and PS5. With an existing player base of over 20 million from its time as an Xbox exclusive, the game's availability on PlayStation could potentially double its player count. As part of the anniversary celebration, loyal players can now claim special bonuses, such as the Viper Ning outfit.
Additionally, Naraka: Bladepoint is also accessible on Game Pass, which has played a significant role in reaching the milestone of 20 million unique players. The Deluxe Edition of the game, featuring 300 hero coins, the Dual Blades Lacerator skin, the exclusive Spear skin, and ten immortal treasures, is being promoted under the Recently Added tab on the Game Pass app.
and will soon have a crossover with the popular NeiR series. NieR Replicant and Nier: Automata have both gained a dedicated fanbase, and this collaboration has the potential to attract even more players to the action-packed battle royale game. A teaser trailer released by NetEase hints at the involvement of 2B, a beloved character from the NieR series, although details about the crossover remain scarce. Fans of the NieR series are eagerly hoping for the opportunity to play as 2B, as well as see other beloved characters like 9S, A2, and Kaine in the game. Naraka: Bladepoint is currently available on PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
