Spectre Divide, a tactical first-person shooter developed by Mountaintop Studios, is set to shut down within the next 30 days. The studio itself will close by the end of the week. Despite raising $30 million in funding, the game struggled to maintain its player base. Initially, Spectre Divide reached a peak of over 30,000 concurrent players on Steam in the last six months. However, recent data shows a drastic drop, with player numbers ranging from 700 to just over 1,000 in the past month. This represents less than 5% of its peak in September 2024. In contrast, its competitor, Counter-Strike 2, consistently attracts between 1.3 and 1.8 million players over the past three months. Mountaintop CEO Nate Mitchell cited insufficient active players and revenue as reasons for the closure, despite efforts to secure further funding or a publisher.

8h Yeah, but Spectre Divide was different. It wasn’t just another “CS/COD/Overwatch killer,” it was the only one that made diversity and inclusivity the centerpiece of its god-awful, physically repulsive character designs.
