Press release:
Gaijin Entertainment and Matter Team is pleased to announce that hardcore online shooter Active Matter will launch on September 15, 2026 on Steam, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. Players who previously purchased the early version of Active Matter through the Gaijin Store will get access to the similar edition of the game on their Steam account for free. They will also be able to link their progress between the Gaijin Store and Steam versions, allowing them to continue playing on a PC platform of their choice without losing their existing progression.

Active Matter is set in a hostile, unstable multiverse where realistic gunplay collides with twisted environments, gravity-defying anomalies, SCP-style strange objects and monsters. Enemies attack from unexpected angles, and locations like a Soviet closed island, a Central Africa quarantine zone and a dilapidated North American can feel familiar and alien at the same time. Players search for valuable active matter – a substance capable of bending time and space, fight aggressive quantum-unstable zone dwellers and fellow human operatives alike, complete objectives, secure loot, and get back to safety only to plan the next move.

“Active Matter was built around the idea of entering a place on our own Earth where almost nothing behaves the way it should – except your weapon,” said Andrey Zhbannikov, Game Director of Active Matter.

“We’re now ready to invite the gamers to the world we were building and polishing for the last few years”.

Early version of Active Matter was extensively tested at Gaijin.Net, with the latest major update featuring a decaying American city and new weapons coming in a few days. After the September launch, new updates will regularly bring even more new content and open doors to the new parts of the multiverse, full of anomalies and monsters that will bend your perception of reality.

Active Matter will be available for purchase in several editions, with the standard one priced at 29.99 USD/Euro in relevant regions.
