DevBlog #36 – We’re live in North & South America!

Greetings,

It’s official, we’ve just released Atom Universe in North & South America on PlayStation 4. You will now be able to download and explore our virtual world for free! (Yes, you heard us, for free).

Atom Universe Early Access?

If you’re new to Atom Universe on PlayStation 4, you might be wondering what Early Access means for Atom Universe. Early Access means you have gotten early access to Atom Universe. By choosing to download and play Atom Universe, you have now become part of the development process.

During the Early Access phase, we will be developing Atom Universe based upon your feedback and actions in-game. You can submit new feedback and ideas to our community forums, but let’s also take this opportunity to report any in-game bugs. During the Early Access phase, it’s very likely that you will see bugs of all shapes and sizes. In order to help us squish all these bugs, please report them with on the following methods:

  • Atom Universe Support Forums (PS4 & PC Players)
  • Steam Forums (PC Players)

Important notice about Atom Universe's Servers

During the launch of Atom Universe we've received a higher amount of players trying to access and play Atom Universe. In return, players may not be able to join their desired server or join their friends in-game. We're completely blown away by the response we've had from everyone in the first few hours of releasing Atom Universe across North & South America. Now, we'll be focusing on servers to try and allow everyone to partake in Atom Universe. If you're unable to join the Arcade Plaza or The Hub, check to see if other areas such as the Mirage House is available.
