It’s clear now that Firebreak: FBC, while being an ambitious project, wasn’t something people were eagerly anticipating. Remedy has shared more about the game’s lackluster debut and future plans for its intellectual property.
As a passionate gamer, I’ve been eagerly anticipating Remedy’s latest release, Firebreak, since their critically acclaimed masterpiece, Alan Wake 2. Stepping into Control’s universe, this time-tested developer has crafted a thrilling team-based first-person shooter (FPS). It’s a striking departure from the narrative-driven games Remedy is known for, and while the gameplay previews have shown promise, the launch hasn’t quite hit the mark yet.
FBC: Firebreak Receiving Major Update in September
The FBC (Firebreak) launch didn’t meet expectations, according to the financial report for January through June 2025 issued by Remedy. In simpler terms, the launch of Firebreak was not as successful as hoped.
On Steam, where it was intended for the game to have its main release on PC, the launch didn’t meet expectations. Poor initial user experience during onboarding and a questionable mission structure led to a significant number of players leaving early, as well as a surge of unfavorable feedback.
The company was pleased that “the technical launch was successful and attracted more than a million players within the initial 10 days,” yet expressed dissatisfaction regarding the consumer sales during the launch phase of FBC: Firebreak.
A significant portion of the shooter’s income has been generated by gamers who subscribe to Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus. At its release, Firebreak was available for free on both platforms.
Despite the challenges, Remedy is confident that FBC: Firebreak is a strong foundation for further development. Looking forward, a significant update slated for late September will be pivotal for FBC: Firebreak. This major overhaul will be followed by strategic marketing efforts aimed at boosting interest in the game. Rest assured, we are dedicated to advancing FBC: Firebreak, fostering community engagement, and broadening its scope.
Could you share your thoughts on whether Firebreak, given the competitive landscape of live-service games, might be able to make a comeback? If you’re interested in discussing this further, feel free to join the conversation at TopMob forum.
