Scott expands on what this means for console players, saying, “For Xbox players, we previously experienced issues preventing players from making any purchases, but we were able to keep the servers online. Unfortunately, you will have noticed that APB Xbox is currently experiencing technical issues, and the game is currently offline. Unfortunately, we are now unable to bring the game back online.” All of the game’s achievements (which hadn’t already been discontinued) require a connection to live services.
The team have instead arranged things so that console players can “migrate their characters” to PC, where the game is still available, by following their guide for Xbox migration to PC.
The free-to-play action MMO came to Xbox One in 2015. “We want to express our sincere gratitude to the APB Reloaded console community for the creativity, dedication, and support you have shown over the years. We are here to support you through this transition, and our customer service team is available for any questions or concerns you might have,” Scott concludes.
