A new ultra-realistic extraction shooter heads to PC with closed beta starting June 2025
📅 May 2025
🎮 Platform: PC (Steam & Official Launcher)
🌍 Region: Global
Tencent Games has officially unveiled the PC version of Arena Breakout, titled Arena Breakout Infinite, aiming to bring its hit mobile tactical extraction shooter to a global PC audience. After its initial mobile success across Asia and Latin America, this announcement marks Tencent’s biggest push into the PC tactical FPS market to date.
The closed beta is scheduled to begin in June 2025, and sign-ups are now live on the game’s official website and Steam page.
Arena Breakout Infinite is described as a free-to-play, ultra-realistic FPS with extraction-style mechanics, much like Escape from Tarkov. Players are dropped into a battlefield to loot, fight, and extract before being eliminated.
Core Features:
- Realistic gunplay and health damage model
- Deep looting and inventory management system
- Custom weapon modification with over 500 parts
- Dynamic maps and lighting for tactical gameplay
- Built for PC with enhanced graphics and smoother framerates
Competing in a Crowded Genre
Tencent’s push comes as Escape from Tarkov, The Cycle: Frontier, and Gray Zone Warfare continue to dominate the extraction shooter genre. However, Arena Breakout Infinite stands out for its:
- Free-to-play model
- Optimized engine for low-end PCs
- Multinational server support
It could be the first mainstream Tarkov-style experience for casual and mid-core players.
Conclusion
Arena Breakout Infinite represents a significant step for Tencent in competing globally in the hardcore FPS market. With a visually striking aesthetic, robust extraction gameplay, and F2P accessibility, this may be one of 2025’s most anticipated PC shooters.
