Remedy Entertainment has announced significant changes for its multiplayer game FBC: Firebreak following feedback from players who found the initial experience frustrating. The studio revealed that many players left within the first hour of gameplay, prompting the need for improved onboarding and tutorial systems. A major update is scheduled for late September, focusing on narrative onboarding to help new players navigate the Control universe and enhance the general user experience. Additional improvements will see adjustments in gunplay, job structures, and matchmaking to create a more engaging multiplayer environment. Despite the initial launch issues, FBC: Firebreak has surpassed 1 million players, with ongoing support planned, including free content updates and no pay-to-win mechanics.

What improvements can players expect in the upcoming FBC: Firebreak update?

Players can expect enhanced onboarding experiences, better tutorials to learn core mechanics, and adjustments to gunplay to make weapons feel more effective. The update will also revamp job structures and matchmaking to ensure a more enjoyable gaming experience.

FBC: Firebreak is a co-op shooter and a spin-off of the popular game Control, which follows the theme of supernatural abilities within a mysterious government building. The game features elements from its predecessor while introducing unique missions and environmental challenges. As the game evolves, Remedy aims to keep the fan base engaged and satisfied through continuous improvements based on user feedback.
