Destruction All-Stars adds bots to pad “low times of player activity”

At least lobbies will be full this way?

Destruction All-Stars will add bots to pad out “low times of player activity,” developer Lucid Games has revealed.

“With a community the size of Destruction AllStars, spread out across the world we do have peak times and low times of player activity for online matchmaking,” Lucid Games said on Reddit.

“We want to ensure that matches are filled to capacity with as many real players as possible, but when missing X amount of players when queuing for a match, AI bots will take the remaining places.”

Lucid Games further detailed that peak times take place over 2.00 am to 8.00 am AEST on weekdays and 12.00 am to 11.00 am AEST on weekends.

Destruction All-Stars debuted in February on PS5.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
