About This Site

This is an independent, fan-made guide site for Active Matter, a hardcore online extraction shooter. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Matter Team or Gaijin Network Ltd, and it is not a support channel for the game. Everything here is written for players who want the current state of the game in one place, with the date and the source attached to the facts.

About this site

The game is developed by Matter Team and published by Gaijin Network Ltd; the PlayStation listing credits Gaijin Distribution KFT, the same group under a different legal entity. Active Matter released on September 15, 2026 on PC through Steam and Gaijin Store, plus PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, and the Standard Edition is $29.99 in the United States. The current PC build was 0.4.0.122 as of September 21, 2026, four days after launch, so anything you read here should be read against that date.

The site covers systems and current state: how the modes work, whether you can play solo or PvE only, how crossplay and account linking behave, what the editions contain, what the wipe and season rules are, and which patches and events have actually shipped. It deliberately does not publish weapon rankings, map positions, item recipes or monster statistics, because community wikis and databases already do that work well and we link out to them instead on the community page.

Screenshots and key art on this site are publisher-provided marketing assets, credited to Matter Team and Gaijin Network Ltd, shown for identification and commentary. Trademarks, logos and game assets belong to their respective owners. The site is static, has no accounts and no comment system, and stores nothing about you, which the privacy policy sets out in full and the terms of service covers from the usage side.

How content is produced and corrected

Every page is built from the sources listed at the foot of that page, which in practice means the official FAQ, the official store listings, the official news feed and the developers' own announcements. Where a fact comes from a single source rather than two, the sentence says so in the text with a single source label or a to confirm note, so you can see which claims are solid and which are provisional. Player opinions and media reviews are attributed to the person or outlet who made them and are never presented as developer statements.

Because the game is being patched weekly, anything that can change carries its own date: current build, player numbers, prices, event windows and roadmap status are all stamped as of a specific day. If a fact you need has no date, treat it as unverified rather than as current, and check the official FAQ first. Nothing on this site is generated as a fake quote, a fabricated statistic or a guessed release plan, and when a comparison has no sourced facts behind it we say that instead of filling the gap.

If a page is wrong or outdated, tell us which page and what changed, and we will re-check it against the sources and correct it. Reports are most useful when they include the date you saw the change and, where possible, the official page that shows it, because the fix usually depends on whether the game changed or we misread the source. We publish no contact form and collect no personal data, so any correction arrives without an account attached to it, and the page's own source list is where the corrected fact will be recorded.
