FragPunk Gets PS5 and Xbox Series X Release Date

Following an initial postponement, console players are soon to receive another complimentary first-person shooter titled “FragPunk“. Developed by Bad Guitar Studio, this 5v5 shooter debuted on PC via Steam last month and has since attracted gamers with its vibrant visuals and innovative Shard Card system that alters gameplay. Originally slated for a sooner release, the console version of “FragPunk” is now set to drop on April 29th, allowing console players to team up with friends.

FragPunk is a free-to-play shooting game that adds an unique twist to the genre by incorporating Shard Cards. These cards provide players with diverse advantages such as team buffs, strategies to hinder opponents, and even alterations to the game’s regulations and maps. This distinctive feature makes it more engaging compared to traditional shooter games, contributing to its widespread popularity on Steam. Currently, the game boasts a rating of Mostly Positive based on over 33,000 reviews.

Beyond Shard Cards, players are drawn to the distinct playstyles of each gunner and the vibrant, colorful visuals that embody the punk rock aesthetic, as suggested by its title. Some enthusiasts refer to it as “beautiful chaos,” while others hope the game’s essence endures to maintain its status as a lasting hero shooter. The rising console player base should ideally contribute to a fresh wave of players joining the community in FragPunk.

FragPunk Console Version Details

The game FragPunk, initially set for release on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S in April, has been slightly delayed until the 29th of the same month. This might leave some gamers curious about how this affects those who’ve already begun playing on PC and are considering a console switch. To alleviate any concerns, the developers have confirmed that progress made on the PC version of FragPunk can be transferred to the console edition. This is facilitated by a cross-progression service, allowing players to seamlessly sync their stats and advancements from the PC game to their PS5 or Xbox Series X|S accounts.

Regarding preorders for the console version of FragPunk, I regret to inform you that we won’t be having another wave. Instead, gamers can look forward to downloading the game directly onto their consoles on April 29th. Those who had previously pre-ordered the console version with the expectation of receiving pre-order rewards will receive in-game currency as a token of appreciation for their early support.

If you didn’t pre-order the game FragPunk on console, don’t worry! As a gesture for the delay between its PC and console release, gamers can expect some Season 1 rewards. These perks include cosmetics, in-game currency, and other items that could have been earned during the game’s initial season. Further details about these compensation rewards will be unveiled as we approach the console launch date of FragPunk.

Just as FragPunk is playable for free on your PC, you’ll also be able to enjoy it without charge on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. However, for those who wish to enhance their gaming experience, there will be available subscriptions to the Battle Pass and purchases of cosmetics and additional items through microtransactions.
