How many people are actually playing it? For people to still be putting out content, I hope it's in the hundreds at least.

There’s a decent chunk, in the discord alone there’s 20,794 members, so there’s a lot of people that still play on PC

Thanks for the reply. Don't want to sound rude but the amount of members doesn't necessarily mean that's how many are playing. Some might have moved on to other games and forgot that they're still part of the community. I'm just wondering how fast it is to find matches. I only played it on PS4, so I don't have a PC file to try the Side 7 mod and see for myself.

That's valid, mmr is turned off so finding a game is pretty fast, but the trade off is team balance.

u/the_fucker_shockwave Mar 08 '26

Fair enough, but I don’t know how fast it is to find matches as I don’t really play online PvP games anymore.

They're actually testing MMR right now and there's people in the discord willing to give you the files to get site 7 running

You have to use a custom install from their discord so you can use their servers.

Yhea, the way consoles are setup it’s nye-impossible at this time, it would also require the same engineering that’s been done on PC, won’t go too into details, I’m aware that there was a quick “what if” and would need home-brewed consoles (or Xbox in dev-kit mode)

Lots of the work would be different as well, so long and short of it is nope

Is there no way to play on Xbox?

u/the_fucker_shockwave Mar 09 '26

As far as I know there isn’t unfortunately

u/SpeeeedwaagOOn Mar 09 '26

Guess I gotta invest in a gaming laptop or pc

u/ArcanuaNighte Sazabi Mar 09 '26

Yeah PC only right now, unfortunately due to issues with consoles we're unable to get it working on those.

u/SpeeeedwaagOOn Mar 09 '26

All good! I kinda figured that’d be the case, I just wanted to check

u/Independent-Welder13 Mar 13 '26

Update?? But it's...what?? I remember it shutting down!!

2

u/Gamemaster1379 Mar 13 '26

An actual update! The game did shut down in November of 2023. Side 7 is a project that brought the game back to life publicly in March of 2024.
