PlanetSide 2 is a free-to-play massively multiplayer online first-person shooter (MMOFPS) game developed by Toadman Interactive. The game supports battles with thousands of players and incorporates modern first-person shooter mechanics. Six infantry classes and multiple vehicles available to players, allowing them to interact in combined arms warfare on the battlefield. PlanetSide 2 is a reimagining of PlanetSide and chronicles the efforts of the same three factions in their fight for control of the alien planet Auraxis.
Along with its prequel, PlanetSide 2 is one of very few MMOFPS games to have ever released, and is presently considered the most successful title in the genre. The ForgeLight proprietary game engine is used to support high concurrent player counts while retaining performance and graphical fidelity. PlanetSide 2 operates on a games as a service business model and is supported by microtransaction purchases. Since its launch, the game has received regular updates which have introduced new content and mechanics.
PlanetSide 2 received positive attention from critics for its scale, innovation, and graphics, but some reviewers were divided over the game's free-to-play business model, technical glitches, and difficulty for new players. PlanetSide 2 currently holds the Guinness World Record for "Most players in an online FPS battle," which was set in 2015 when 1,158 players were recorded in a single battle during a sponsored event. This record has since been unofficially beaten in both 2020 and 2022 when even higher player counts were recorded on the game's servers.
