Remedy Entertainment has recently launched the final content update for its not-so-popular co-op shooter, FBC: Firebreak.
At the same time, the publisher has permanently reduced the game’s price on all storefronts.
In a post on the game’s Steam page, Remedy confirms FBC: Firebreak’s new standard price of $19.99/£16.74 — about half of what it cost at launch.
We’ve checked the PS Store, and in the US, the games does indeed now reflect the new pricing above. However, the UK price is actually slightly cheaper than the stated reduction; it’s going for £15.99.
As for the new content update, there’s a fair amount for players to sink their teeth into.
Firstly, there are five new arenas added to the game’s Endless Shift mode, all inspired by environments from the original Control.
Secondly, this update introduces the Friend’s Pass, which allows you to play with friends (across whichever platforms) who do not own the game itself.
On PS5, your friends will need to install the Free Trial version of FBC: Firebreak. After that, you’ll be able to send them an invite or a party code and play normally. Friends will need PS Plus, mind.
The update also makes a bunch of changes and improvements to various systems. This includes “changes to Harmful Conditions and healing, a major overhaul to the Perk equipping system, weapon balance adjustments, and several quality-of-life improvements.”
Remedy has also assured players that FBC: Firebreak “will stay online and continue to be playable for years to come”, so there’s no worry of a shutdown for the foreseeable.
