Remedy Entertainment has officially announced FBC: Firebreak, an exciting first-person PvE multiplayer game set in the iconic Oldest House from Control. The gameplay showcase at the Xbox Partner Showcase provided an insightful glimpse into various weapons, enemy types, load-outs, and the dynamic pace of the PvE combat. The question arises: does FBC: Firebreak offer crossplay functionality?
Is Crossplay Available in FBC: Firebreak?
Absolutely, FBC: Firebreak supports crossplay with cross-platform matchmaking for all systems. This feature allows players to team up with friends and other gamers, irrespective of their specific platform.
This news was verified by the developers on Steam, who also shared additional details regarding the game. Firstly, it is a strictly PvE experience, with no PvP elements included. FBC: Firebreak takes place several years after the events of Control, but players new to the franchise can jump right in, as it serves as a standalone adventure.
Developed using Remedy’s Northlight engine, FBC: Firebreak aims to provide impressive graphical fidelity while ensuring compatibility with a variety of hardware, including the Steam Deck.
Will FBC: Firebreak Be Free-to-Play?
No, FBC: Firebreak will not be available for free, but it isn’t categorized as a premium title either. Remedy describes it as a “mid-priced” game, which is expected to fall in the $40 to $50 range. Be sure to check out the recent “community first look” video from Remedy that elaborates on what gamers can anticipate from this PvE shooter.
FBC: Firebreak is slated for release on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, as well as on Xbox Series S|X and PS5, expected to launch in 2025. Notably, it will also be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one.
Originally codenamed Condor, FBC: Firebreak has made a positive impression since its announcement. It is positioned uniquely, avoiding competition in the saturated PvP first-person shooter market, thus likely appealing to fans of franchises like Left 4 Dead and recent titles from Fatshark such as Warhammer 40K Darktide.
