FBC: Firebreak Ignites Excitement as Day-One PS Plus Title and Deluxe Edition Details Emerge

The gaming world is buzzing with the announcement of FBC: Firebreak, Remedy Entertainment's upcoming co-op shooter set in the intriguing Control universe. Revealed during a recent livestream, the game is slated for a June 17 release on PC (via Steam and Epic Games Store), Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. But the excitement doesn't stop there – FBC: Firebreak is also confirmed as a day-one release for PS Plus Extra and Premium subscribers, making it an unmissable title for many.

Day-One Delight for PS Plus Subscribers

For PlayStation gamers, the news of FBC: Firebreak joining the PS Plus Game Catalog (Extra and Premium) on launch day is a major win. This means subscribers can dive into the action-packed world of Firebreak without shelling out the full $39.99 price tag.

Remedy's Vision: Co-op Chaos in the Control Universe

FBC: Firebreak is not just another shooter; it's a three-player co-op experience that plunges players into the heart of the Federal Bureau of Control's headquarters. As the Bureau faces a relentless siege, the Firebreak unit, armed with cutting-edge gear, steps up to restore order and reclaim control.

"As a years-long siege on the agency’s headquarters reaches its boiling point, only Firebreak — the Bureau’s most versatile unit — has the gear and the guts to plunge into the building’s strangest crises, restore order, contain the chaos, and fight to reclaim control," reads the game's official description.

Deluxe Edition: Cosmetic Customization Galore

For players looking to personalize their in-game experience, Remedy is offering a Deluxe Edition for $49.00 USD. This edition includes a treasure trove of exclusive cosmetics and premium voice packs, allowing players to express their unique style on the battlefield. Key inclusions are listed below:

Owners of the base game can upgrade to the Deluxe Edition for $10.00 USD.

Requisitions: Earning Gear Through Gameplay

Remedy has also introduced the Requisitions mechanic, a system that rewards players with new gear and cosmetics simply by playing the game. These rewards include weapons, equipment, armor, and more, all unlockable using in-game currency earned through gameplay. For those seeking additional customization options, Classified Requisitions offer premium cosmetic items for purchase with real money.

Post-Launch Support: A Promising Future
