Madfinger Games recently launched their intense shooter Gray Zone Warfare in early access. Initially, the game faced criticism on Steam, with user ratings dropping to “negative” due to optimization issues, but has since improved to “mixed.”
With only 51% positive reviews out of four thousand, players express frustration over server instability and poor performance, even on high-end graphics cards, struggling to maintain a steady 60 fps in Gray Zone Warfare.
Critiques also highlight the game’s simplistic interface, basic AI, and sluggish movement mechanics. Despite these flaws, the vast map encourages exploration on foot, although stamina quickly depletes.

Insider insights.
Responding to optimization concerns, developers suggest using “upscalers” and updating drivers to enhance performance. Ongoing technical enhancements are in progress, with the first batch expected in the upcoming patch.
Despite its flaws, players acknowledge several strengths of Gray Zone Warfare:
- Expansive open world spanning 42 square kilometers, with NPC helicopters aiding in navigation.
- Challenging quests devoid of map markers, requiring players to decipher clues and locate objectives independently.
- Immersive sound design and detailed weapon models.
- Unique injury healing system involving bullet extraction, blood transfusions, and more, with players able to revive unconscious comrades.
- Dedicated PvE servers for cooperative gameplay.
Strategic map. Bases of rival PMC factions are situated in the map’s three key regions.
Gray Zone Warfare has stirred interest, particularly following a recent controversy involving its competitor, Escape from Tarkov. The game’s peak online player count from Madfinger Games has surged to 62,000 users and continues to climb, as per SteamDB data.
