Elite Dangerous: Arena has been pulled from sale due to a lack of players.
The game, which went on sale in February 2016 as a standalone PvP mode (previously known as CQC) of Elite Dangerous, has been removed from the Xbox store, Steam, and the Frontier store.
“We’ve been looking at our metrics which suggest that the vast majority of new and regular Arena players tend to play Arena through the main Elite Dangerous client rather than the standalone Arena one,” said senior community manager Edward Lewis on the Elite Dangerous forum (via Eurogamer).
“We’ve made the decision to remove the standalone version of Elite Dangerous: Arena in order to reduce the number of builds that have to be maintained and managed across Steam, Xbox One and in 2Q '17 PlayStation Network, as well as clarifying the choices for new players of Elite Dangerous on these storefronts.”
