Gear up for tactical online mech combat in War Robots: Frontiers! A new Crossplay Playtest is available to Xbox Insiders from January 28 until February 3. This time we’re testing out crossplay with other platforms, voice chat, console performance, a brand-new user interface, and a bunch more new features. Jump in to unlock an exclusive Fractured Sparrow Sticker—yours to keep in the full version of War Robots: Frontiers.
“We’re grateful for how our team worked together to rework the entire user interface, introducing a fresh new style and making meaningful improvements to the Robot construction experience,” says Parisa Zhong, UI/UX Director for War Robots: Frontiers.
“Player feedback about this from the last Xbox Insider playtest was invaluable, and we immediately started working on ways to improve its clarity, usability, and intuitiveness. The concept of Factory Robots, pre-defined builds designed to help new players get started more easily, is also much clearer now.”
