Vigor, a free-to-play survival shooter, has been a popular game among console players, making its debut on Xbox back in June 2018. Despite its success on platforms like PlayStation and Nintendo Switch, PC gamers have been left in the dark for over six years regarding the release of Vigor on their preferred platform. However, all of this is about to change as Bohemia Interactive has finally decided to bring Vigor to PC.
Set in a post-apocalyptic version of Norway in the 1990s, Vigor immerses players in a wasteland filled with Outlanders, groups of survivors associated with different factions. As players, you have the option to go solo, team up with a friend, or join a larger group to battle against rival Outlanders. The game features various modes like Shootout deathmatches, team Elimination battles, and Loot Events, where you can gather resources to upgrade your shelter and craft better weapons.
Early Access on Steam
After years of anticipation, Vigor is finally making its way to PC through early access on Steam next month. Players who are eager to experience the game before its official release can purchase a Reinforcements Pack for $20. This pack includes early access to the game, bonus weapons, exclusive cosmetics, consumable items, and more. The early access phase is expected to last around three months, during which progress will be reset upon the game’s full release.
Bohemia Interactive emphasized the importance of early feedback from players in fine-tuning their games, especially when transitioning a console game like Vigor to PC. The developers acknowledged the challenges involved in adapting the game for PC and see early access as an opportunity to address any issues before the full free-to-play release. One of the key areas of improvement in the PC version of Vigor is the overhaul of gunplay, a feature that has been long requested by the community.
The early access release of Vigor on Steam is slated for May, although an exact date has yet to be announced. Following the early access phase, Vigor will transition to a fully free-to-play model on PC, allowing cross-play with console players. The developers are aiming for a smooth transition towards the end of summer, provided that everything goes according to plan.
The arrival of Vigor on PC marks a significant milestone for both the game and its community. With an extended period of development and fine-tuning, PC players can look forward to experiencing the unique survival gameplay that Vigor has to offer. As the game prepares to make its debut on Steam, the future looks promising for both new and existing players alike.
