If you're new to shooter games, consider titles like Titanfall® 2 or Halo: The Master Chief Collection. They offer friendly gameplay mechanics and are pretty simple to learn.

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 often feature campaigns with missions and objectives. Multiplayer shooters, on the other hand, emphasize competition against other players.

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.
