Remedy Entertainment has officially set a release date for their highly anticipated game, FBC: Firebreak, slated for June 17, 2025. This session-based, multiplayer PvE experience is deeply rooted in the Control universe, offering players a series of replayable missions known as Jobs. These missions come with diverse challenges, objectives, and environments, encouraging teamwork and adaptability to succeed.
FBC: Firebreak will launch across multiple platforms including PC (available on both Steam and Epic Games Store), Xbox Series X and S, and PlayStation 5, with a price tag of $39.99 / €39.99 / £32.99. Excitingly, it will also be accessible on day one through PC Game Pass, Game Pass Ultimate, and the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog for Extra and Premium members. Marking a significant milestone, this will be Remedy's first self-published title.
In addition to the standard edition, Remedy introduced the FBC: Firebreak Deluxe Edition, priced at $49.99 / €49.99 / £39.99. This edition includes exclusive cosmetics and premium voice packs such as "The Firestarter" and "The Pencil Pusher" Premium Voice Packs, along with the Firestarter Armor Set, Apex Revision (Helmet, Body Armor, Gloves), Scorched Remnant Double-Barrel Shotgun Skin, and the Golden Firebreak Spray. Owners of the base game can upgrade to the Deluxe Edition for an additional $10 / €10 / £7.
The Deluxe Edition also features the Classified Requisition: "Firestarter," which offers a collection of 36 unlockable cosmetic items, including weapon skins, sprays, and armor sets. According to the official description, FBC: Firebreak introduces a new system called Requisitions, which rewards players with new gear and cosmetics simply by playing the game. These Requisitions can include weapons, equipment, armor, sprays, and more, all unlockable using in-game currency earned through gameplay. Importantly, there are no limited-time windows or rotating stores; once an item is added to the game, it remains available permanently.
For those seeking additional customization, Classified Requisitions provide premium cosmetic items such as armor sets, custom voice packs, sprays, and weapon skins. These can be purchased with real money, but they are purely cosmetic and have no impact on gameplay. They will also remain available indefinitely.

Remedy has committed to ongoing support for FBC: Firebreak post-launch, with plans to introduce two new Jobs in 2025 and further updates in 2026. All new playable content, including Jobs, will be free for all players. While players can purchase cosmetics, these items will not affect gameplay, and there will be no limited-time rotations or daily log-ins, as Remedy has emphasized.
Amidst a bustling lineup of projects, Remedy is also working on Control 2 and the Max Payne and Max Payne 2 remake compilation, keeping fans eagerly awaiting more from this prolific developer.
