Black Squad News

Please be advised Black Squad market policy is updated not to sell Black Squad items via Steam Community Market from October 29, 2020 after the scheduled maintenance.

This modification is to keep Black Squad service sustainable with the key experience of Black Squad play.

It is the inevitable conclusion to disable the community market. We have reviewed there are any alternative ways, but there is no way to maintain the service compatible with community market under the current market policy. The complete removal of market & trade of Black Squad items is the only option left for us to achieve our ultimate goal to keep you playing Black Squad. That was a tough decision, though, we hope it will keep Black Squad survive and become the ignition of turn over for the future.

The update is scheduled to apply right after the maintenance. An item already on the Steam Community Market will not be affected, but it will turn not marketable once the item is sold, cancelled, or removed.
