The Cycle: Frontier Extraction Shooter Shutting Down Due to Financial Struggles

TL;DR Summary
Yager is shutting down its PvPvE extraction shooter, The Cycle: Frontier, due to financial viability issues caused by a surge in cheaters during the game's formative months. Despite initial success and efforts to address the issue, the decrease in player base and inability to generate enough revenue led to the decision to sunset the game on September 27, 2023. Players will no longer be able to spend money on the game, and Yager is removing bundles and Aurum packs from Steam and the Epic Games Store.
