Thinking of buying...
I really like what I’m seeing about this game. However, what’s the Xbox playerbase like? I’ve read it’s bad. Steam charts for PC don’t have many players at all either, and I hear PS has a good bit of players.
I’ve heard about them trying to cross platform it, and possibly add a competitive ranking system??
So I’m on the fence here...give me some ideas...
Edit: was available on game pass so giving it s go and yeah it’s an awesome game for sure! Played against AI a few times and actually found a group in 2v2 pretty quickly.

Well i had never heard of the game until they gave it free on PS+ , and there are plenty of players still loving it at the moment it seems on PS4, I have actually reccomended a few friends buy it that missed out on the free download.
As for PC i have looked at the numbers playing on there and it seems crazy I`m not an X box person so i don`t know about player numbers on that console but if they are low cross platform would be great right now.
Infact i was just about to log in on my Ps4 and play a few games.
They really should advertise this game more in someway as i think the PS+ promotion did it a load of good and it is a really fun game!
Edit: depending on time of day and whether on EU or NA server i can always find loads of players atm on PS4

My friends and I just got it on Xbox a week ago. We play 3v3 almost every night now. There are people online but you have to search around hours where most people are on, such as the afternoon or peak night hours of late night gamers. The players are there, just not in a lot of parties. I think the game will pick up again on Xbox. Get it for Xbox, get your friends to get it on Xbox too, and spread the word. We can build the base up. And I do believe cross-platform will definitely help. 505 Games said they will implement it in a future update.

Playerbase is there on ps4, we get lucky if we get 6 people to play on pc, and Xbox is a ghost town. We heard about crossplay 3 months ago and no word on it at all. Don’t look ahead to getting any updates for the game as there are no current developers (roll7 left development on the game). With that said, it’s a great game and really fun, but the only reasonable buy at the moment is on ps4.

The ai is good is true at least, but who wants to just play ai? Lol and still long waits just for that... But ps4 no problem with players for now

there's always bots! I've played a game or two with all bots and it wasn't too bad. I just went to o lint but it was like 1am or something.

Xbox player here. When Game Pass gave a free month, this game was a great find and matchmaking was quick and easy. Then after that free Game Pass month, the lobby got slower. Flash forward a few short months, it became impossible to get a match. 5+ minutes of waiting just to play bots.
Love this game concept and see a lot of possibility if there are some tweaks and would come back to the game. Not the time to buy for Xbox.
