The new hotfix 1.0.3 for The First Descendant makes several improvements to the game, including giving players the ability to report AFK teammates and adjusting its Destiny-like mission icons. As one of 2024's most popular new looter shooters, The First Descendant has amassed a significant playerbase within its first month live, with an impressive 10 million players jumping in during its first week. Despite its early success, the game's shifty monetization practices have come under scrutiny, as it charges players exorbitant amounts of money to acquire Descendants without having to undergo tedious and sometimes frustrating grinds.
