Foamstars, released in February 2023, is a colorful online multiplayer shooter that pits players against each other in foam-based combat. Although it aimed to create a vibrant community following the success of games like Fortnite and Rocket League, it faced hurdles in terms of player retention and engagement. The game’s struggles reflect broader issues within the live service genre, where many titles have failed to establish a dedicated player base, leading to early exits and even shutdowns for some games shortly after launch.
