Focus Home Interactive INSURGENCY SANDSTORM XBOX ONE

Insurgency: Sandstorm is a multiplayer tactical first-person shooter video game developed by New World Interactive and published by Focus Home Interactive. The game is a sequel to the 2014 video game Insurgency. Set in an unnamed fictional Middle Eastern region, the game depicts a conflict between two factions: "Security", loosely based on various world militaries (specifically NATO forces, United States SOCOM, Iraqi Armed Forces, Afghan Armed Forces, Syrian Armed Forces, and Kurdish YPG and YPJ), and "Insurgents", loosely based on various militant groups (specifically ISIL, the Taliban, and Al-Qaeda).

Insurgency: Sandstorm was officially announced in February 2016, for Microsoft Windows. It was released on December 12, 2018 for Windows, with a delayed release for console, macOS and Linux builds of the game. In December 2019, it was announced that the Linux and macOS builds of the game were cancelled. The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions went through various delaysand were released on September 29, 2021. These versions are also playable on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, with updates scheduled to release sometime in 2022 to take advantage of the next-gen hardware.

Insurgency: Sandstorm received critical acclaim for its realistic gameplay, level design, sound design, atmosphere, graphics, and fluid animations, but was criticized for its technical issues and optimization, with some lamenting the cancellation of the planned story campaign.
