Is Highguard down? Current server status

Is Highguard down? Wildlight Entertainment, the developers of Highguard, have largely kept its PvP raid shooter under wraps prior to launch. However, if there's one thing we do know about online-only games, it's that day-one server issues are almost a rite of passage these days.

Now, we're not expecting Wildlight Entertainment to have any server issues with Highguard… but we're also bracing ourselves for any potential error codes that may pop up when the multiplayer game launches later today. We recommend checking out our Secure Boot guide first to ensure your PC is ready - after all, you won't want anything stopping you from seizing control of the mythical Shieldbreaker.

The Highguard servers appear to be unstable at launch. The developers haven't posted anything to suggest there's a problem with the game, but some players are reporting that they're unable to get past the main menu.

After we completed the tutorial, the game wouldn't load beyond the login queue. Of course, your mileage may vary, and there is a chance that this login queue error is only affecting a small percentage of people.

While the game's official social media pages haven't posted just yet, we highly recommend keeping an eye on the PlayHighguard X account in case there are any updates about the servers. We're expecting to see server status updates in the game itself, but on the off chance something really goes wrong, the official account will be the place to hear any developments.

That's all the information we have on the Highguard server status for now, but keep your eyes peeled on this page once this FPS game has launched to find out whether things are running smoothly. In the meantime, we also have a news article on the Highguard achievements which gives us an insight into what to expect from the free-to-play game.
