Rogue Company, a third-person tactical shooter from Hi-Rez Studios, is currently in closed beta, but there have been hints of free-to-play plans and its upcoming launch across all platforms.
There are currently only two ways to participate in the Rogue Company beta on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC (through the Epic Games Store). You can watch partner streams on Twitch and rely on luck to get a beta key, or you can purchase one of three packages. But Hi-Rez Studios has confirmed that the game will be completely free-to-play after its official release later this year.

If you decide you don't want to wait for the free version or continue to test your luck with Twitch drops, players can choose between packages Ultimate, Standard and Starter Edition.
The first is $59,99 and comes with 12 Rogues, two sprays, two emotes, three outfits, one wrap, and 1500 Rogue Bucks. The second is $29,99 and includes 12 rogues, one spray, one emote, one wrap, and two costumes. The latter is $14,99, comes with six rogues, one spray, one emote, one outfit, and one wrap.
According to road map Hi-Rez Studios for 2020 , there are 10 aspects, divided into three stages, that developers want to improve before deploying the full version.
Phase 1 includes customizing the player's personality, surrender/desertion penalties, and a new map: Vice. Phase 2 includes a new playable Rogue, custom matches, ranked play, and Rogue Mastery (cosmetic rewards for playing with each Rogue). And finally, Phase 3 includes Gear Mastery, Battle Pass, and gameplay improvements (including what looks like an Apex Legends-inspired ping system).
Currently, the developers seem to still be working on Phase 1 as Hi-Rez Studios took to Twitter to inform fans that Deserter Penalties will launch with the game's next update, which has no date set.
If you missed the news, deserters aren't a good experience for Rogues in the field.

In our next update, Deserter Penalties will prevent players from re-joining the queue after leaving a match early or being AFK for too long. 👍 pic.twitter.com/HqmnQoobxV
With a month left since the July 20 closed beta launch, with only four months left until 2020 and the announcement of a punishment for desertion, the Phase 1 update is expected in mid-August. This suggests that, so that development does not accelerate or slow down, phase 2 will come in September, and phase 3 in October.
Based on this schedule, the game should be available for free on all platforms in November 2020 or December at the latest. We will continue to update our website pages with information as soon as it is announced..
