Super People, the popular Battle Royale game, has recently announced its imminent shutdown on August 21st, 2023. Citing a decline in the player base as the primary reason, the developers have taken the decision to discontinue the game. As a part of the shutdown process, the download and payment systems for Super People will be disabled on May 23rd, 2023.
This move will prevent any new players from accessing the game and ensure that existing players have sufficient time to enjoy the remaining months before the servers go offline. Super People’s closure marks the end of an era for its dedicated community and leaves a void in the gaming landscape.

Super People made its initial debut in the gaming world through an exciting game reveal trailer on July 16, 2021. Anticipation grew as players eagerly awaited its release as a free-to-play early-access game. The developers aimed to gather valuable feedback from the community and improve the gameplay experience accordingly.
To further engage with players and respond to their input, a final closed beta test was organized in late August 2022. This exclusive testing phase offered participants the opportunity to participate in daily tournaments and compete for a substantial cash prize pool of $75,000 USD. This move not only heightened excitement among the player base but also showcased the developers’ commitment to fostering a competitive and rewarding environment.
The decision to shut down Super People was also influenced by the global economic slowdown and reduced profitability. Despite its popularity, the game faced financial challenges due to a decline in revenue generation. The decreasing player base and competitive landscape affected the game’s monetization, making it unsustainable to continue operating.
With the game’s closure announcement, the player base was met with mixed emotions. While some were saddened by the impending shutdown, others reflected on the memorable moments and intense battles they had experienced throughout their time in Super People’s virtual battleground. As the download and payment systems were disabled on May 23, 2023, new players were no longer able to join the game.
