Prepare to plunge back into the weird and wonderful world of the Federal Bureau of Control with FBC: Firebreak on Game Pass, Xbox, PS5 and PC!
FBC: Firebreak, a new cooperative first-person shooter set within the acclaimed Control universe, has officially launched.
Developed and published by the masters of the strange at Remedy Entertainment, this intense PvE experience is now available on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and PC.
The best news for Xbox players? FBC: Firebreak is available Day One on Xbox Game Pass, allowing members to jump in and restore order at no additional cost! For those looking to purchase, the Standard Edition is available for £32.99, with a content-packed Deluxe Edition also on offer.
An Agency Under Assault from Otherworldly Forces
In FBC: Firebreak, a years-long siege on the agency’s headquarters by otherworldly forces has finally reached its boiling point. With chaos reigning, only Firebreak – the Bureau’s most versatile and heavily armed unit – has the gear and the guts to plunge into the building’s strangest crises.
Your mission: blast your way through paranormal threats, restore order, and push back from the brink of total collapse.
This is a session-based, multiplayer PvE experience designed from the ground up for intense cooperative action. You and your squad will tackle highly replayable missions known as “Jobs.” Each Job is uniquely designed with different challenges, strange objectives, and bizarre environments that will demand teamwork and adaptability to overcome.
A Refreshing Post-Launch Promise
Remedy has confirmed they will continue expanding FBC: Firebreak with post-launch content. Crucially, all future playable content, including new Jobs, will be completely free. The game will feature optional cosmetic purchases, but in a player-friendly move, Remedy has stated that none of these items will affect gameplay, and there will be no limited-time rotations or daily log-in pressures.
