Dropping the first bit of proper news on Steam since early 2024 after the release of Battlefield 6 is certainly a choice - BattleBit Remastered is still alive.
From the No Pay To Win Coalition’s review on Steam:
“Overall: 2/5*
Not recommended!
Likely to become a P2W, due to it being a GaaS game.
Bad progression system, rigged against newbies.
Other issues:
Cheaters
GaaS
A low-poly Battlefield copy.
”
If it isn’t P2W as of right now, it will be that way. This also has to do with old-school ownership, as you’re paying for a license that will be revoked any time the devs feel like it.
The good news is that the game isn’t P2W, so you can play it now! The bad news is that you might be an idiot. I’m sorry you had to find out this way.
Seriously, you’re spreading misinformation about a game you know nothing about. Based entirely on some random group’s subjective and baseless opinion on what might happen to this game in the future. It would be difficult to get any more dishonest than that. It’s sad.
I know you mentioned this game to me in this community in the last couple of days, and now this update came along and surprised us all. Would you mind confirming if a dedicated server can be spun up for local play only, with no internet? And if so, does the game have bots to fill out a private server?
You can host a dedicated server (there are guides for how, because it’s entirely from the command line I believe), and it does have LAN support, but I have never used it myself.
I don’t think it has bots, but I’m not actually 100% sure.

I suggest you look at someone else for reviews because this review is both inaccurate and somehow also blindingly stupid.
I have good news and bad news!

It seems that Steam group doesn’t know wtf it’s talking about. It’s got no MTX, no plans for MTX, and is not even a GaaS/Live Service game.

What? Battlebit isn’t even a Games as a Service game. It is just a video game. Or is the existence of free skins from twitch drops enough for that?
And it is “pay to win” because “it might become pay to win at some point”?
Buddy… find better influencers. Because whatever “group” that is… is pretty fucking stupid.
