Summary
- Final update for FBC: Firebreak is now live.
- The game will remain playable online for years.
- Price reduced to $20 with a new Friend's Pass feature.
Remedy announced today that the final update for its online multiplayer game, FBC: Firebreak, has been released. This "Open House" update signifies the end of new content creation for the game. However, the studio has confirmed that FBC: Firebreak will remain accessible and playable online for an extended period.
Remedy stated that engineering efforts have been undertaken to sustain the upkeep of the relay servers, even with lower player volumes expected in the future. This ensures the game's continued availability.
The developer, known for its acclaimed titles Control and Alan Wake, released FBC: Firebreak last year. The game is set within the same distinctive universe. Despite this, the multiplayer title faced criticism, particularly for its initial player onboarding experience.
The "Open House" update aims to enhance accessibility. It includes a reduction in the base price to $20 and introduces a "Friend's Pass" feature. This pass allows individuals who do not own the game to accept match invites from existing players.
