Crucible is the first PC game published by Amazon Games and launched on May 20th with a day one update to fix a collection of bugs and crashes experienced at release. The game itself is a third person sci-fi shooter that borrows elements from MOBAs. Did we mention it’s free-to-play and available as a Steam download?
Relentless Studios is running what they are calling a pre-season from May 20 to July 13. This 8 week period is intended to allow for rapid balance changes without the requirement to consider the competitive stakes and shifting metas. Keep reading for the patch notes below.

One thing to note is that they have released it through a Steam download instead of restricting it to their closed eco system and you can download Crucible for free from Steam and purchase add-ons including skins and a jump start through the early levels.
