Nine to Five (video game)
Nine to Five is a free-to-play multiplayer tactical first-person shooter from Redhill Games. It runs on Windows, Google Stadia, and GeForce Now and features three teams of three players (3v3v3) competing to complete objectives. The game includes barricades and drones for defense, and it offers three maps: Old New York, Varmstaad, and Huxwell Clinic (added at launch). There are no mid-match respawns, emphasizing teamwork and strategy similar to Counter-Strike. Players could customize their loadouts with camo, optics, and mods through paid bundles and loot boxes.
Development began in 2019. A closed Alpha released on June 4, 2020, followed by a Steam Beta Weekend from February 11–15, 2021. It entered Steam Early Access on August 26, 2021, and launched in full 1.0 form on May 16, 2022 for PC and Stadia, with Stadia also starting in early access on December 8, 2021. On October 19, 2022, Redhill Games announced the end of development, and the servers were shut down on January 18, 2023. The game was removed from sale the next day, and bundles with weapons and customization options were made free for players who owned it.
Story and setting: Nine to Five takes place in a near-future world where governments are replaced by powerful corporations that hire mercenaries to fight rivals and gain global influence. Players choose from four factions: Farmira, Mash Media, New World Finance, and Milodyne.
Reception and development notes: PCMag praised the game’s team-based gameplay, satisfying shooting mechanics, and its free-to-play model, while noting the lack of content and some performance issues during Early Access. Redhill Games, a Finnish studio founded in 2018 by Matias Myllyrinne (former Remedy Entertainment CEO), announced the end of development in October 2022.
