Gaijin's Active Matter Launches as a Multiverse Extraction Shooter on PC, PS5, and Xbox
Active Matter, a hardcore PvPvE extraction shooter from Gaijin Entertainment (the War Thunder studio), launched worldwide on September 15, 2026 for Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S. Runs are raid-based with weapon customization, inventory management, and a fractured multiverse setting. Crossplay ships at launch with three queue options: your platform only, consoles only, or PC plus consoles. A September 17 patch (0.4.0.115) added performance fixes, animation reworks, and UI changes. PvPvE means you fight AI enemies and other players while trying to extract loot.
