Editing Paintball 2Xtremes (section)

== Later ownership and publication ==

By 2008, the magazine was owned by Pacific Paintball LLC, the company operating the [[National Professional Paintball League]] (NPPL) and [[Xtreme Paintball Sports League]] (XPSL).

In October 2008, WARPIG documented the publication's presence at the PSP World Cup trade show, where editor John Amodea was meeting readers and gathering material.[8]

On 2 December 2008, Pacific Paintball announced plans to seek bankruptcy liquidation for itself and several subsidiaries, including PB2X LLC.

The announcement included the proposed liquidation of the magazine's publishing business alongside the NPPL, XPSL and other Pacific Paintball operations.[9]

The available contemporary reporting establishes the liquidation announcement but does not conclusively identify the magazine's final published issue.

Amodea subsequently established PaintballX3, a separate digital paintball magazine whose first issue appeared in February 2009.[10]

In a February 2026 retrospective, Amodea identified his involvement with ''Paintball 2Xtremes'' as spanning 1999–2009.[11]
