- Insurgency Sandstorm blends Battlefield and Counter-Strike 2, and this underplayed FPS is 72% off right now - 1 May 2026
As a sucker for the best FPS games , Counter-Strike 2 and Battlefield certainly scratch different itches. The former is all about team strategy across competitive matches, broken into rounds that can sometimes feel breakneck (especially as I'm typically getting slaughtered by high ranks), and Battlefield leans more towards being an arcade shooter. Insurgency: Sandstorm , however, nails the best parts of both worlds, and right now, it's at 72% off at Fanatical.

- Update 1.20 Operation: Clear Sight – Release Notes - 24 February 2026
Hello soldiers! Welcome to the release notes for Update 1.20 Operation: Clear Sight! This update features two new sights, new difficult challenges to grind, mod editor improvements, and new cosmetics for both factions! First things first, take a look at our upcoming new map, Hold, coming next update (Update 1.21 Operation: ███████). Inspired by Ministry, it features a police station caught in a violent takeover by Insurgent forces. WIP images below! MOD EDITOR IMPROVEMENTSInsurgency's origins are deeply rooted in modding. Starting as a mod for the Source engine, Insurgency: Modern Infantry Combat led to a standalone sequel released in 2014 that we’re sure many of you are familiar with, called Insurgency, and then on to Insurgency: Sandstorm. It's important to remember our roots, and mod support is one way of fulfilling that for the team. We know the modding community has felt left behin…

Hey everyone!We hope you’re enjoying the new update! The team has been working hard since the release of Operation: Shell Shock to identify key issues that are impacting player experience that require our attention. In addition to the fixes included in this hotfix, we’ve applied several backend improvements to matchmaking that should alleviate some of the issues that began in September, such as servers not properly repopulating (also known as “lobby decay”) and players getting stuck on “Preparing Server” indefinitely. We are also keeping a close eye on the IED, something’s up with that thing; that must be why they call it “improvised”, huh.Thank you for your continued support!PLAYLIST CHANGESStarting November 17, 2025, we are moving Ambush and Skirmish away from the permanent playlists to the time-limited playlist.
