Knockout City Goes Free-to-Play Across All Platforms, with Season Six Kickoff
Velan Studios has announced that Knockout City has shifted to a free-to-play model. Players can download and start playing at no cost, with no time limits, on every major platform, including PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch.
On Steam, community sentiment remains strong, with the title carrying a high percentage of positive reviews at the time of writing. The move to F2P coincides with the launch of the game’s sixth competitive season, a milestone that adds new content, balance changes, and fresh cosmetic items for participants to earn and showcase.
Previously, Knockout City was sold for 1499 rubles in some markets. With the transition to the free-to-play model, new and returning players are welcomed into a more accessible ecosystem, while players who purchased the game before the seventh season start receive bonus rewards as a thank-you for their support. These gifts typically include exclusive cosmetics of legendary rarity, experience accelerators, and a substantial bundle of in-game currency coverage—illustrating the developer’s commitment to rewarding early access and continued engagement.
Knockout City centers on multiplayer dodgeball action. Players can participate in three primary modes: 3 vs. 3, 4 vs. 4, and a free-for-all option. Each match type brings its own strategic nuances, and maps are designed with distinct environmental features that influence ball trajectories, positioning, and team coordination. This variety helps keep play sessions dynamic and rewards teamwork, quick decision-making, and precise aim.
For those interested in jumping in, the game can be added to a library via Steam, the Epic Games Store, the Nintendo eShop, the PlayStation Store, and the Xbox Store. Screenshots and visual previews of Knockout City are available to prospective players who want a closer look at the visual style, character customization, and map layouts that define each season’s evolving feel.
A news item from VG Times reports on a local incident involving a parent and child in Odintsovo, illustrating how gaming stories sometimes intersect with everyday life and law enforcement. This note sits beside the game’s ongoing community conversation, reflecting how e-sports titles can become part of broader cultural discussions.
