Deadside is an online survival shooter from Bad Pixel, published by tinyBuild. It takes place in post-Soviet countryside after a collapse: forests, rivers and settlements patrolled by armed NPCs. Version 1.0 arrived in December 2024 on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox.

There are no levels or experience bars; your character grows stronger only through gear and your own aim. Loot is stored in a safe zone or at a base you fortify with turrets and traps. Cars, motorcycles, boats and a metro fast-travel network cover the distances. Servers come in four flavours: PvP, PvE, PvP without raids and PvP with scheduled raids.

It suits players who enjoy tense gunfights with real stakes. Keep in mind that your character stays in the world after you log off, carrying everything on them. The developers recommend learning on PvE servers first.
