While it's still hard to say when the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of New World Interactive's
Insurgency: Sandstorm will be released, Focus Home Interactive has officially announced that those who purchased the game's PC version (that launched in December) can now download a completely free update that brings some well-desired features and major technical improvements to the game.
This first content update is live now, including "
the massive addition of a new ‘arcade’ playlist with rotating game modes, alongside five new weapons, a new firing range for practicing your aim, performance improvements, and a wealth of smaller changes, additions, tweaks, and bug fixes."
According to the studio, over 500,000 copies of
Insurgency: Sandstorm have now been sold worldwide, suggesting that
Counter Strike: Global Offensive and
Rainbow Six: Siege may have reasons to be afraid of this young, but intent rival, at least on Steam. In celebration, those who haven’t yet picked up a copy of
Sandstorm can do this right now with a first major discount of 20% off, available until March 5th.

Insurgency: Sandstorm's aforementioned content update down below:
Insurgency: Sandstorm is a team-based, tactical FPS based on lethal close quarters combat and objective-oriented multiplayer gameplay. Sequel to the indie breakout FPS Insurgency, Sandstorm is reborn, improved, expanded, and bigger in every way. Experience the intensity of modern combat where skill is rewarded, and teamwork wins the fight. Prepare for a hardcore depiction of combat with deadly ballistics, light attack vehicles, destructive artillery, and HDR audio putting the fear back into the genre.
Insurgency: Sandstorm is available on PC NOW; coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in 2019.
