The game is certainly garnering a lot of attraction, at least the pre-registration numbers are overwhelming. Having crossed 5 million in over a week on GooglePlay Store then, today the developer also reveals that it has breached the 10 million mark as well.

"Can’t wait to share our new battlegrounds experience with you later in 2021", said the developer. Revealed in the footage released at the time of the announcement, they're likely referring to the map TROI which is an 8x8 kilometres map - the same size of the most popular PUBG map Erangel but players in TROI will be able to help themselves with futuristic elements like drones and ballistic shields as the game is based in the year 2051.
