The game design philosophy was described to be similar to that of Fortnite and Rocket League, in which the game is 'easy to learn' but 'difficult to master'. They worked on the game without funding for six months, and then released a demo for user testing, which became unexpectedly popular as the game drew 600,000 downloads in its first month of release. Proulx was inspired by Portal and Portal 2, and believed that its mechanic could translate well into other video game genres. Its co-founders, Ian Proulx and Nicholas Bagamian started working on the game as a school project while they were attending Stanford University studying computer science. The game was developed by Nevada-based 1047 Games. The game revolves around Halo-inspired sci-fi combat in battle arenas where players can create wormhole portals between two points on the map that have been compared to those of the Portal series, and fire weapons or travel through those portals. On August 25, 2021, the developers announced that the game would stay in beta indefinitely and at the same time released Season Zero. A PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S version came in 2022. It was released in early access on May 24, 2019, for Linux and Microsoft Windows on Steam, and on Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 on July 27, 2021.
