Zero-G PvP shooter that sold 100K in a day is closing after a year—publisher blames developer, developer blames them right back, players just review bomb it

.

Boundary is a multiplayer space shooter where the pitch is simple: PvP in zero-G. The game was announced in 2019 by developer Surgical Scalpels, and would eventually launch in early access in April 2023, at which time PC Gamer's Tyler Wilde found it a weirdly compelling take on the competitive FPS: "Space is really not the ideal location for anything humans do, nevermind tactical infantry battles, but it is quite a lot of fun."

Players agreed, too. Despite an upfront price of $25 Boundary managed to shift over 100,000 copies in its first 24 hours on-sale, as well as racking up thousands of "Mostly Positive" Steam reviews. The developers said at the time they expected early access to last six months to a year. Just over a year later, Boundary is being abandoned.
