Introduction
Greetings Champions! This week’s update is a little different as you already know. There’s no new Hero, and we’re releasing it on a Thursday outside of our usual game update cadence. Instead we’re celebrating, because V0.16 comes with a very different milestone… [b]OPEN BETA![/b] That’s right! After this update Predecessor will be free to everyone, on all platforms. And we mean all, because we’re also welcoming Xbox players to the battle for the first time too! This milestone isn’t all however! V0.16 also ships with all-new lighting, visual changes that will drastically improve the graphical fidelity of our map ahead of further maps and level reworks in the future. We’re still not done however! We’ve added a bunch of new languages for PC players (soon to be available to console players too) as well as a myriad of bug fixes and balance changes we managed to slip in as well! We’re burning daylight here, so let’s jump to it! [hr][/hr]Open Beta
We’re taking our next leap in Early Access development! V0.16 marks our milestone release into Open Beta, marking a transition to free-to-play for all players, on all platforms, everywhere! We’re excited to continue developing Predecessor alongside our rapidly growing community, and we cannot wait to get the game in front of more and more people because of this shift.Localisation
We've added our first wave of newly supported languages to Predecessor! Starting on Thursday, PC players will be able to select the following languages in the settings menu:- French
- German
- Spanish
- Portuguese
- Italian
- Simplified Chinese
Xbox Series S/X
As of V0.16 we’re thrilled to be welcoming a whole new audience to Predecessor - Xbox players!
That’s right, we’re rolling out globally on Xbox Series S/X consoles, delivering on our promise to ensure that Predecessor is as accessible as possible to as many players as possible.
Xbox players, good luck out there! Everyone else? Go easy on the newcomers and be sure to give them a warm Predecessor welcome! ????

With the move to Open Beta and the doors open for Xbox players, we wanted to make it as easy as possible for new players to quickly flesh out their collection of playable Heroes and selectable skins, right out the gate. With that in mind, we’re pleased to share a series of new in-game Quick Start bundles that new players can use to unlock sets of Heroes, not too dissimilar from the Early Access bundles that PC players have had access to. Each bundle contains a collection of Heroes available at a discounted price, with a smattering of skins and a role-themed spray included for good measure. Better yet, we’re putting them up for sale at a special, discounted, introductory price! We’ll run this discount for a short while, but grab the bundles at this great price while you can!
