Understand the zone before you enter
Active Matter is a tactical online extraction shooter from Matter Team, published by Gaijin. Its unstable zones sit inside a fractured multiverse: enter with a purpose, recover active matter and equipment, and reach extraction before the zone disappears.
The game combines environmental threats and reality-bending anomalies with a choice of player encounters. It is available on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. The Steam and console release followed the earlier Gaijin PC version; the release timeline explains the distinction.
Choose the encounter you want
| Experience | What to expect | Start here |
|---|---|---|
| PvE / Isolated Raids | Face the zone without rival players’ squads, alone or with your group. | PvE and solo play |
| PvPvE / Open Raids | Environmental dangers and other operatives share the raid. | Compare the modes |
| Dedicated PvP | A separate format focused on battles against players. | Gameplay explained |
Mode choice matters. Entering alone does not automatically mean entering a PvE raid, and support for PvE does not mean the game works offline. Check the format you select before committing your loadout.
Find the right version
Use the Steam, PS5 or Xbox page for official store links and access requirements. The price comparison separates platform editions, Steam bundles and online subscription requirements.
Playing across platforms and carrying progress between them are different questions. Read the crossplay options before purchasing another version for the same account.
Quick answers
Can I play Active Matter solo?
Yes. The official FAQ describes solo and cooperative PvE. Choose the appropriate raid format if you want to avoid rival players; see PvE and solo play for the limits.
