    • Private Worlds for you and up to 7 friends
    • Scrapbox to have unlimited storage for crafting components
    • Survival Tent is a new placeable fast travel point with all the basic needs
    • You received 1,650 Atoms per month to use in the Atom Shop (in-game store)
    • Ranger Armor Outfit exclusively for subscription members
    • Icons and Emotes Pack contains lots of unique icons and emotes
      • The scrapbox advertised deletes everything put inside of it
      • The private servers are just timeshared so loot and npcs are gone and dead
  • This costs more than Xbox Game Pass and you actually get good games on there
  • THIS IS ABSOLUTE BULLSHIT!  I HAVE NEVER EVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN!
