Crossout is a post-apocalyptic free-to-play MMO action game released in 2017 by Targem Games where players build armored vehicles from a vast selection of parts and battle across land and sky. The game blends PvE and PvP combat with a deep faction-progression system that unlocks increasingly powerful components as players advance, while an economy centered on parts and crafting keeps the gameplay loop running. Seasonal events provide ongoing content updates for this massive multiplayer environment, and reviewers highlight that crafting unique war machines matters significantly to long-term engagement. Players describe the experience as dark and grim, with faction progression serving as a primary driver, and they note that the open-world awakening map allows free-roaming exploration alongside traditional matches. The game supports online cooperative play and runs verified on Steam Deck, holding a 69% positive rating from over 22,000 Steam reviews.

About Crossout: Crossout - the postapocalyptic MMO action game where you can create a unique design for an armoured vehicle from dozens of parts and then drive it into multiplayer battles raging on land and in the skies alike.
