PS3 Free to Play Date Announced

 We’re excited to announce that Defiance Free-to-Play is coming to PlayStation 3 next week! Starting August 12, veteran ark hunters on PlayStation 3 will be granted 1,000 arkforge, 30 days of Paradise Patron status, and retain their increased number of loadouts, character slots, inventory slots, and keycode storage capacity (please note that some these will need to be reclaimed from the Claim Items pane). New recruits will be able to download Defiance from the PlayStation Network (PSN) for free once their store updates.

Due to how Sony deploys new (updated) products, our North American PlayStation 3 servers will be down on Tuesday, August 12 for a restart when the deployment occurs (estimated between 12:00 PM PDT and 4:00 PM PDT [GMT-7]). We will post an absolute outage window next week when this time is finalized. The same will occur for our European PlayStation 3 servers on Wednesday, August 13. The team is working closely with Microsoft to launch Defiance Free-to-Play on Xbox 360 and we’ll post an announcement about the transition when we’ve finalized the date.

See you in the Bay Area, ark hunters!
