The wait is over for co-op shooter fans! FBC: Firebreak, the highly anticipated 4-player PvE experience from Remedy Entertainment (creators of Control and Alan Wake), launched worldwide today with a massive surprise: it’s available day one on both Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus (Essential, Extra, and Premium tiers). This unprecedented dual-subscription launch gives millions of players instant access to the supernatural action without an upfront purchase.
Set within the enigmatic Federal Bureau of Control (FBC), familiar to fans of Control, Firebreak tasks a squad of specialized agents with containing catastrophic paranormal breaches threatening our dimension. Players choose from unique Agent classes – like the telekinetic Shifter or the reality-anchoring Architect – combining their distinct abilities to tackle dynamic, chaotic missions across shifting, destructible environments. Teamwork isn’t just encouraged; it’s essential for survival against otherworldly entities known as "Resonance Echoes."
"FBC: Firebreak is about that frantic, coordinated chaos only great co-op delivers," said Creative Director, Elias Lindell. "Building on the FBC's lore, we crafted encounters demanding communication, ability synergy, and quick adaptation as reality itself fractures around you. Launching simultaneously on Game Pass and PlayStation Plus felt right – it removes the barrier, letting friends jump in together immediately, regardless of platform."
Key features driving the hype include:
- Deep Class Synergy: Master unique abilities that combo devastatingly with teammates.
- Procedural Threats: No two breaches play the same, with unpredictable enemy behaviors and environmental hazards.
- Destructible Battlefields: Strategically collapse structures or carve new paths using powerful gear and paranormal powers.
- Evolving Arsenal: Unlock and upgrade FBC tech and weaponry inspired by Oldest House artifacts.
