It's been three months since we released Vigor for everyone, and we've slowly learned more about our Outlanders. There are more than three million of you now; brave souls who chose to conquer the war-torn Outlands and build their own Shelter – and legacy – among the ruins. You've provided us with a lot of feedback so far, and we're happy to hear it all – it helps us to shape and improve Vigor to make a better experience for everyone. In our last update, we added a new map, Brondalen Bridges. The next thing is improved matchmaking, making it easier to join encounters. Many new weapons were also added, with some coming even between major updates, like the PPSh, or the PKM which was just released today. We learned Outlanders like to be unique and show off their threads, so we've made sure to release a steady supply of new customizations to ensure you always have a way of standing out.

Post-war Norway was quite a ride over the last months. As Vigor went Free-to-Play during the Gamescom announcement, new Outlanders started to flow in. There were already over 2.5 million players who tried Vigor. The numbers far exceeded our expectations and, sincerely, we were not prepared enough for it. Finally, we recovered, and now plan to update the game more on a regular basis. We took our time to find and fix the most pressing issues (so called "ghost bullets" and impenetrable bushes, for example), as well as adding one big thing we were working on for a long time.

Good news everyone. Vigor is now a fully Free-to-Play game for everyone, fully graduated from Xbox Game Preview. The announcement as a part of the Inside Xbox show at Gamescom was a blast.
