Gene Shift Auto announced its change to a free to play game. We tell you all the news about this change of the battle royale inspired by GTA. In this note!
With all the possibilities offered by the games in the GTA saga, the only thing missing was that you could make a battle royale. That is now possible, not thanks to Rockstar Games, but to Gene Shift Auto, a battle royale style game set in the world of GTA. Although this is a game that is not very well known, it is expected to generate more interest in the near future thanks to its sudden change to a free to play game.
Indeed, Gene Shift Auto is now practically free, and we say “practically” because that change will be next Monday, November 28. From the game’s Steam pagewe can see some of the modifications of this game released in 2017. The highlights that we find are graphical changes or different interactions with the police.
Gene Shift Auto is not your run-of-the-mill battle royale as it introduces some interesting new mechanics. One of the most important changes compared to the classic genre itself is the possibility of having a skill tree that we can improve as each game progresses. In this way, we will be able to choose different strategies according to what is best for us in each encounter. Of course, to advance in this skill tree we will have to carry out missions with NPC’s, something like in Fortnite.
The change to a free to play game implies that the players of Gene Shift Auto will be divided between the old ones who bought the game, and the new ones of this free version. Those who have purchased the game will automatically get the Deluxe Edition, where they will get an exclusive cosmetic and 2,000 coins. For their part, free to play players will start their normal game without any advantage.
There is also the fact of the skill levels of each player. You can’t match experienced players with the large influx of new players expected with this change. For this, from the game they incentivize veterans with an “extreme mode” where they must inflict less damage on new players to obtain a 50% XP increase at the end of each encounter. A fair deal so no newbie gets frustrated from the start.
