Brendan Greene's PlayerUnknown Productions announced a studio restructure, with Greene stating "I have reached the limits of how far I can continue to fund this journey in its current form." The studio will continue developing its Melba technology with a smaller team while halting further development of Prologue: Go Wayback. The survival roguelike will become free-to-play with an upcoming update, and the studio is investigating refunds for players who purchased it on Steam and Epic Games Store.
