Matter Team developed the PvPvE extraction shooter. The PC version costs 4,499 yen, the PS5 version 3,960 yen, and the Xbox Series X|S version 3,500 yen, all tax included. Players enter quantum-unstable zones as operatives caught in a time loop, solo or in squads, to hunt Active Matter, a substance that bends time and space, while fighting rival players and creatures transformed by the material. The zones include a closed-off Soviet island, a quarantine zone in Central Africa, and a devastated North American metropolis. Gravity is unstable in the fields, and the release trailer shows rocks and rubble drifting in the air and players running along walls and ceilings. The launch update expands raid loot from early access, adds legendary-tier weapons in various locations, and simplifies shelter and inventory management so players can return to raids faster.","whyItMatters":"Active Matter is a paid premium release in a genre where the biggest extraction shooters are free to play, and Gaijin Network is applying the multi-platform pricing and distribution model it built on War Thunder and Enlisted to a new genre.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe console versions launched alongside the PC release, not after it.

Giant rocks and rubble drift in the air, alien plants spread across the terrain, and operatives run along walls and ceilings to move through the gravity anomalies. The threats shown include ghost-like entities and giant multi-legged creatures. The early access build already existed before launch, and the September 15 update expands the loot pool from that version and adds legendary-tier weapons to various locations. Shelter and inventory management were simplified so players can organize the base and assemble loadouts faster.
