What is APB (All Points Bulletin) and why should I be interested?
Imagine a living breathing city, but for the first time ever an online one. Streets full of vehicles, thousands of civilians going about their daily life.
Now introduce 100 players to this online city. Their mission in life is to achieve fame and fortune, and achieve it fast.
Naturally many will take to a life of crime, feeding on the city, its people and its businesses.
The other players though, the enforcers, will feed on these criminal players.
What will the outcome be?
The great thing is, we don’t know. It’s an online sandbox. Many players will gain fame, fortune or notoriety. Alliances will be formed, rivalries will be bitter.
One thing we do know, every player will be unique. Thanks to leading edge technology, players can personalise their looks, clothing, vehicles and music.
Welcome to the next evolution of action games into the persistent online space.
I’m in. When’s it launching?
APB will be launching services in North America and Europe in Q1 2010.
Is there a beta? And can I get in?
Yes we plan to have a beta. And no, you can’t get in … at least, not yet. But we’ll be providing more information on our beta plans Real Soon Now™.

How big is the game world? And how many people fit on one server?
Approximately 10,000 players per world consisting of 100 player district maps. A hundred customized players driving unique cars, doing crimes, shooting or busting each other is well worth checking out.
What engine is the game running on?
APB utilizes cutting edge technology of Unreal Engine 3™ to bring the polish of next generation art and gameplay into the online space.
