Hey there, gamers! I’ve got some news that might be a bit of a downer for those of you who love playing APB Reloaded on your consoles. Brace yourselves, because the game is being shut down on PS4 and Xbox. I know, it’s a tough pill to swallow, but let’s dig into the details.
Little Orbit and PLAION’s Announcement
According to a statement from Little Orbit and PLAION, the decision to sunset APB Reloaded on console platforms wasn’t made lightly. They considered several factors, such as technical challenges, resource constraints, and the evolving landscape of gaming. As much as they wanted to provide console players with upgrades and fixes, it became increasingly challenging to sustain the game on those platforms. So, they made the tough call to shut it down.
Now, I know this news may be disappointing, especially for all you dedicated console players who have patiently waited for improvements. But hey, don’t fret! Little Orbit and PLAION want to express their sincere gratitude to the APB Reloaded console community for all the creativity, dedication, and support over the years. They’re even offering their customer service team to assist with any questions or concerns you may have. That’s some solid player support right there.

But wait, there’s a silver lining in this dark cloud! If you’re currently playing APB Reloaded on Xbox or PS4, you have the option to transfer your characters to the PC version of the game. Xbox players can start the transfer process right now, while PS4 players will need to wait until February 1st. So, if you’ve invested loads of time and effort into your character, fear not! You can continue their virtual adventures on the PC.

APB Reloaded: A Brief History
Before we wrap things up, let’s take a quick trip down memory lane. APB Reloaded, previously known as APB: All Points Bulletin, first hit the gaming scene in 2010 for PC. Unfortunately, the servers were shut down the same year due to some financial troubles. But fear not, my fellow gamers, for the game was given a second chance!
Under new management, K2 Network purchased the rights to APB and brought it back to life as APB: Reloaded in 2015. The game made its triumphant return on PC, and in the following years, it expanded its horizons to Xbox One in 2016 and PS4 in 2017. It was a rollercoaster ride, but APB Reloaded managed to capture the hearts of many players.
