Gigantic: Rampage Edition launches to ‘mostly positive’ reviews on Steam, but server problems are once again causing headaches

The developers of the newly-launched Gigantic: Rampage Edition have apologized for persistent server issues that are preventing players from joining the game, and say they’re putting together a “compensation package” to make up for all the headaches.

After closing its doors in 2018, Gearbox’s MOBA-hero shooter Gigantic made a surprise comeback in 2023, a purportedly one-off event that eventually blossomed into this week’s launch of the updated Rampage Edition. In gameplay terms it’s essentially identical to the original, with some new content added; the big change is that instead of relying on microtransactions, it’s a single-purchase, pay-and-play game.
