"APB: Reloaded," an online multiplayer video game by Reloaded Games and The Workshop Entertainment, is going to be rolled out for next generation consoles in the second quarter of 2015.

According to GameSpot, the game's publisher Deep Silver announced that "APB: Reloaded" will remain a free-to-play title on both the PlayStation and the Xbox One. As far as the subscription charges are concerned, PS4 console owners will not be required to possess a PlayStation Plus subscription to play online but for Xbox One owners, it is a different ball game altogether. Xbox One owners will be required to own an Xbox Live Gold membership in order to immerse in the title.

The game is set in a fictional futuristic city called San Paro. Players can assume the role of one of two factions, Enforcer or Criminal. When a multiplayer match commences, up to 100 players can simultaneously participate on a single map. 

As for the features of the game, "APB: Reloaded" players will be able to earn several items as they progress through the game. While the game does not present a synopsis due to its free-to-play genre, players will be able to upgrade their controlled avatar by getting several items for free, as well as using the game's currency to upgrade their character by purchasing gear, different vehicles and several other customizations. 

"All Points Bulletin" was first launched in June 2010 but was shut down after a few months. K2 Network purchased the title for £1.5 million and resurrected the game in 2011, after which it was given its current title. The Microsoft Windows version of "APB: Reloaded" has garnered approximately 5 million players since then.
