FBC: Firebreak is Finland-based Remedy Entertainment’s latest bold move and its first take on co-op FPS shooters. The game is set in the Control universe. After the events of Control, things apparently get weirder, darker, and more dangerous. You’re a part of a three-person team called Firebreak. You take on jobs and head into sealed zones, survive the dangers, and complete various objectives under increasingly hostile conditions.

FBC: Firebreak should now be available to play on PC via Steam and Epic Game Store; Xbox Series S/X and PlayStation 5 are in luck, too. FBC: Firebreak is not a completely free to play title, being priced at $39.99 but those with a Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus can play it for free for now.

FBC: Firebeak is cross-play-enabled, allowing you to team up with players on other platforms. The game also lets you play alone.

Playing FBC: Firebreak on PlayStation Plus

Players having the PS Plus Extra and Premium can get a good taste of this survival co-op shooter title without paying extra. Essential tier PS Plus subscribers will not be able to play FBC: Firebreak.
