As we head into the final weekend of our Open Beta, we figured it was time to let you all know when exactly Forefront’s Early Access Launch will ship out!

Mark your calendars, because Forefront is officially launching in Early Access on November 6th 2025 for Meta Quest 3/3S/2, SteamVR, and Pico!

“Awesome, but Wesley, how much will the game cost?” To that we say… Wait and see, soldier!

The Early Access launch for Forefront will feature bug fixes we didn’t get to during Open Beta, full weapon customization and attachment unlocks, two more maps, HUD polish, and a Friends-system to hop on and tackle the objective with your squad.

We also want to reiterate that this is NOT the full release. You’ll be buying a solid, yet unfinished title that will continue to evolve and improve over time until and beyond our full release in 2026! And we’ve got big plans, which we’ll reveal in due time.

As you’ve probably heard by now, wishlisting Forefront helps us out greatly, and it ensures you get notified the second the game launches in Early Access on November 6th!
