APB the upcoming MMO that will allow up to 100 players roam the streets, is set to have no monthly subscription cost to play the game on the PC,  but the downside is that it does not look as if it will be ported to any other system at this time, Mac will not even see a version of the game.

We’re evaluating opportunities for a console port of APB but there’s nothing concrete to announce at the moment. There will not be a Linux or Mac version of the game.

APB is set to be launched in the U.S. and the U.K  Spring of 2010 and a price for the game has yet to be revealed.   In the meantime APB is accepting applications for it’s upcoming Beta.

Yes, there is a beta. You can apply here to be part of our beta testing community. We’re starting small but we’ll be adding more people to the program as time goes on. If you’re not selected at the start of the program, don’t despair, we’ll keep your details and we’ll invite much bigger numbers into our beta as we approach release.

For any other questions you may have about the upcoming game you can go check out their FAQ page.  I was hoping to see this one be ported to the 360 or the PS3, but I guess there is always the possibility as Realtime Worlds has stated there is nothing concrete at this time, but one thing is certain the new experience will be free online and that is a big plus.
