FBC: Firebreak offers free post-launch content for all

FBC: Firebreak is a new first-person shooter game from Remedy Entertainment, known for titles like Alan Wake 2 and Control. The game's director, Mike Kayatta, shared information about its future in a recent interview. The big news is that all missions and playable content after the game's launch will be free. Players will not have to pay for any new "Jobs," which are the game's missions. However, players can choose to purchase cosmetic items, such as helmet designs and armor customizations. These items will not affect gameplay. The game was showcased at the Future Games Show, where one mission called "Paper Chase" was highlighted. In this mission, players and their friends work together to stop rogue sticky notes that are turning people into monsters. Kayatta emphasized that Remedy aims to keep the player community together by ensuring everyone has access to the same content. He also said that FBC: Firebreak will not use traditional live-service methods, such as daily log-in rewards or battle passes. Instead, the team wants players to enjoy the game at their own pace without feeling pressured. FBC: Firebreak is set to be released in the summer of 2025 on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X. It will also be available through Game Pass Ultimate and the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog. Players interested in the game are encouraged to wishlist it on Steam.
