PS Plus Extra Confirms Day One Game for 2025

Key Takeaways

  • FBC: Firebreak will be available on PS Plus Extra on release day in 2025.
  • It will also be a day one Xbox Game Pass game.
  • It will also be available to those signed up for the Premium tier of PS Plus.

As a seasoned gamer with a hearty appetite for adventure and co-op action, I couldn’t be more thrilled about the upcoming release of FBC: Firebreak! Having grown up on classics like Zelda and Alan Wake, the prospect of diving back into those universes is nothing short of exhilarating.


Subscribers of PlayStation Plus Extra can anticipate playing the game FBC: Firebreak on its release date in 2025. While PlayStation Plus Extra doesn’t typically receive as many day-one games as its rival, Xbox Game Pass, there are instances when day-one games become available within this service tier.

For October 2024, there won’t be any PS Plus Extra games to start with, but the September 2024 lineup featured “The Plucky Squire,” an action-adventure game reminiscent of Zelda that was well-received. This year, “Animal Well” made its debut on PS Plus Extra, which stood out as it’s one of the highest-rated new releases of the year. If you’re subscribed to the Extra tier of PlayStation Plus, there’s even more excitement ahead, as a new game has been announced as a launch title for day one.

It’s been declared that the cooperative first-person online game, FBC: Firebreak, developed by Remedy Entertainment and set within the universes of Alan Wake and Control, will be available on PS Plus Extra from day one. Initially, it was confirmed as a day one Xbox Game Pass game, but no mention of PS Plus was made at that time since it was unveiled during an Xbox event. As of now, the launch date for FBC: Firebreak is yet to be disclosed, but it’s anticipated to debut sometime in 2025.

FBC: Firebreak is a Day One PS Plus Extra Game

On the same day of its release, the strategy game “FBC: Firebreak” became available for both PlayStation Plus Extra and Xbox Game Pass subscribers. Interestingly enough, this is the second instance where a game launched on both platforms simultaneously – the first being “Sea of Stars”, an acclaimed RPG that draws inspiration from timeless classics like “Chrono Trigger”. Although it’s likely we may see more games debuting on PS Plus and Xbox Game Pass at the same time, such occurrences will remain quite uncommon.

Starting from 2025, Firebreak (FBC) will be accessible in the higher-tier subscription, namely PS Plus Premium. It’s important to note that this premium tier is the most expensive option for the service, offering a bundle of all the benefits provided by PS Plus. In other words, anyone who has subscribed to PS Plus Premium will have access to all free games available in the Essential tier, additional PS4 and PS5 games from the Extra tier, as well as exclusive retro games that are only available with the Premium subscription.
