Co-op Control spin-off FBC: Firebreak will release in June, Game Pass and PS Plus launch confirmed

Remedy has announced that FBC: Firebreak, a co-op spin-off set in the world of Control, is arriving in June, with the game coming to Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus at launch.

The details:

  • FBC Firebreak, which was first revealed last October, will be the first multiplayer title from the Alan Wake and Max Payne studio Remedy. Players take on the role of three Federal Bureau of Control Firebreak responders tasked with defeating anomalies infected with "hiss" within The Oldest House. Set in the world of Control following the events of the single-player game, players must use a variety of mechanics to complete a range of objectives in new and returning areas.

  • In a recent developer update livestream, Remedy revealed that the game will be released on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5 on June 17. The Standard Edition will cost $39.99, while the Deluxe Edition, which includes cosmetics and voice packs, will cost $49.99 or $10 for those upgrading from the Standard version. Not only will the game be cheaper than most premium titles, but it will also be available on Game Pass and PS Plus' Extra and Premium tiers from launch.

  • Remedy has also revealed more information about the game's shop system, Requisitions, which will feature both free and premium items. Players can earn new weapons, gear, and cosmetics simply by playing, while "Classified Requisitions" are purely cosmetic items that can be purchased with real-world money.
