About this game
The Culling is a discontinued first-person action battle royale game developed and published by Xaviant. Following a 2016 early access beta phase, the game was released for Linux, Microsoft Windows, and Xbox One on October 5, 2017. The Culling was initially popular, but in the wake of the release of two other battle royale games, Player Unknown's Battlegrounds and Fortnite Battle Royale, the player base for The Culling waned, and Xaviant halted future development in December 2017. The company later announced a sequel, The Culling 2, which was released in July 2018, amid the popularity of Fortnite Battle Royale. The game received a negative reception from players, leading Xaviant to pull the sequel from marketplaces, and instead restart work on adapting The Culling as a free-to-play title. The game servers were finally shut down on May 15, 2019, with the game no longer being purchasable on any platform.
