Blaston

Blaston launched as a paid VR game on December 15, 2020, then converted to free-to-play in December 2022 with a major overhaul (version 2.0). The store description explicitly calls out a revamped cosmetic store with avatar skins, weapon skins, and a currency system (Blasts), all hallmarks of an ongoing live-service game. The developer, Resolution Games, has maintained a consistent cadence of updates: the "Reloaded" update shipped April 28, 2022; the "Glow Up" update shipped July 28, 2022; the free-to-play conversion shipped December 15, 2022; a balancing patch followed in December 2023; another balancing update in December 2024; and the game engine was upgraded to Unity 6 in June 2025, with a bug fix patch as recently as September 1, 2025. This pattern of regular maintenance and content additions, combined with an active monetized cosmetic store, indicates Blaston is designed as an ongoing live service with no announced end date.
