FBC: Firebreak Features Cross-Play and Matchmaking at Launch, No Cross-Progression

by

In their latest update, Remedy Entertainment has shared more insights about their upcoming team-based shooter, FBC: Firebreak, which is set within the universe of Control. What’s even more exciting is that cross-platform play will be available from day one, as confirmed during a recent preview event visited by MP1st. This means players on different platforms can enjoy the game together right away!

Initially, cross-progression might not be accessible right from the start, but there’s a possibility it could come later on. As community manager Julian Fondum put it, “It won’t be available at launch, but it might show up much further down the road.

Much of what we’re working on behind the scenes is constructed with future possibilities in mind, once we have additional resources and more. As such, we’re putting great effort into creating a robust foundation for our future development. However, I must clarify that at this moment, there won’t be cross-progression available.

Confirmed online pairing exists, enabling various gamers to be paired at random (let’s hope they don’t cause trouble for one another). Additionally, cross-platform play incorporates a system similar to friend codes.

This summer, get ready for the release of “Firebreak” on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC platforms. If you’re a Game Pass or PlayStation Plus Extra/Premium subscriber, you’ll have the chance to play it on its release day! As part of the Federal Bureau of Control’s inaugural response team, dubbed Firebreak, players will be tasked with various missions to purge “The Oldest House.

You have the option to select from among three Crisis Packs, each offering distinct advantages and special abilities. Additionally, every task comes with Threat and Security Ratings that determine the challenge level and duration, with the rewards increasing proportionately as well.
