Attention all Gray Zone Warfare players. If you’re getting ready to dive into the new extraction-based tactical shooter on Steam, you might want to hold on to your wallets, because it turns out the various “editions” do not include the base game.
Don't Buy Gray Zone Warfare Before Watching This (Edition Guide)
On April 26th, Gray Zone Warfare developer MADFINGER Games debuted multiple editions, all of which went on sale on April 30th. There are several options to choose from, but none of them give you access to the main game. Yes, you read that right: if you were wondering why the editions were discounted, now you know.
To play Gray Zone Warfare, you will first need to purchase the standard edition, called “Buy Gray Zone Warfare,” on Steam for $34.99 (prices may vary depending on your region). You can then, if you wish, purchase the additional editions for their additional rewards.
This lack of clarity has angered the community and raised eyebrows about the developer’s intentions. Whether this is an intentional stunt to boost overall sales or an honest mistake is not yet clear, but it does not paint a positive picture. It could easily mislead potential players and turn them away from the franchise for good.
