3on3 FreeStyle: Rebound

3on3 FreeStyle: Rebound is a free-to-play competitive basketball game that has been in continuous live operation since its July 2020 release. Developer activity in 2026 remains extremely frequent, with updates shipping roughly every 2–4 weeks. On August 19, 2026 — today — the developer launched a significant update introducing the P4 Character DLC upgrade (reducing character unlock costs across 15 characters), a brand-new per-character Growth All-in-One Pass system (a recurring purchasable battle pass tied to individual characters), and the final chapter of the Summer Battle Pass running through September 15, 2026. The update also opened registration for the 2026 Fall Championship tournament. A patch note published the same day details the new Growth Pass mechanics, DLC price adjustments, and balance changes. Bug fix posts from August 13 and August 19 show the team actively monitoring and patching issues within days of deployment. Earlier in August, a pre-notice post on August 12, 2026 announced the upcoming "All-Time Master Pass" — a new permanent character pass DLC planned for release on August 26, 2026 — confirming that monetized content additions are already scheduled beyond today's update. On July 8, 2026, the game expanded to the Epic Games Store. On June 17, 2026, two new playable characters (Ravieta & Luna) were added with new skills and a cross-character synergy system. Career Mode received an improvement pass on July 22, 2026. The game's DLC catalog reflects an active monetized content cycle: five DLC items released between February and December 2025 include character upgrade packs and an All-Star Upgrade Pass, and the developer explicitly stated in the August 12 pre-notice that the upcoming All-Time Master Pass will unlock "all current and upcoming characters," confirming that new characters will continue to be added to the roster indefinitely. This game is built to operate as an ongoing live service with no defined endpoint — new characters, seasonal passes, limited-time events, and competitive tournaments are the core of its ongoing content model.
