After an array of widely-played betas, Mecha Break has finally launched across PC and Xbox to some impressive player counts, but it's not all rosy out there. The shooter's Steam user reviews are settling in at "mixed" owing to some pretty aggressive monetization, which includes $47 cosmetic packs and an auction house that's skirting the pay-to-win line.
Mecha Break launched to a concurrent player peak of 132,816 on Steam, as SteamDB shows. The true number is likely actually a bit higher, as that figure doesn't include players on Xbox or using the game's standalone PC launcher. It's worth noting, however, that the playtest earlier this year reached much, much higher numbers.
