About Under Pressure
Under Pressure is a team-versus-team game where two teams of four compete on remote islands. Each player has the same loadout: a sniper rifle and a pistol. Teams must protect two flags; a team loses when both flags are gone. Every death increases the whole team’s respawn timer, so coordinating when to push for a flag matters. The game’s matches are recorded by cameras.
Team tactics
Communication and coordinated play are central to winning. Moving too early to take a flag risks adding to your team’s respawn timer, while waiting too long can cost you the match. The game emphasizes team performance over individual skill: the better team wins.
Progression and customization
Playing well earns XP and cash, which you can spend on gear to customize your character’s helmet, outfit and jetpack. Losing a match earns you only half the cash and XP. Every player has the same weapons, and leveling up does not unlock new weapons or skills; there are no pay-to-win options.
Maps and unlockables
The game currently has one map and fewer than 30 unlockables. The description also outlines plans for four maps, over 100 unlockables and special gear unlocked at leveling milestones; these are planned additions, not current content.
