Prologue: Go Wayback! is Now Free for Everyone
PlayerUnknown has made the early access title Prologue: Go Wayback! free to own for everyone, following the studio’s decision to cancel the game’s development. The announcement comes just weeks after the company announced layoffs and ended work on the project.
The game’s development had experienced significant fluctuations in fortune. In 2025, Insider Gaming exclusively reported that the title featured an innovative infinite map system, suggesting strong momentum for the project. However, circumstances changed dramatically earlier this month when PlayerUnknown cancelled development and conducted layoffs. The studio has since released a lengthy statement addressing the difficult decision and explaining the reasoning behind making the early access title freely available to players who had supported it during its development phase.
