What are the differences between single-player and multiplayer shooters?

Single-player shooters focus on a story-driven experience, allowing you to play at your own pace and immerse yourself in the game's narrative.

They usually offer various game modes, such as team deathmatch or battle royale, where you can test your skills against real opponents. Both types have their own appeal, so it really depends on what you're in the mood for!

How often do shooter games get updates?

The frequency of updates can vary by game. Popular titles like Apex Legends™ and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six® Siege X often receive regular updates, including new content, balance changes, and bug fixes. Developers typically listen to community feedback, so if a game has an active player base, you can expect ongoing support and improvements.
