FBC: Firebreak remains available, but will receive no further updates

Remedy Entertainment has confirmed that FBC: Firebreak will stay online, even though no new updates will be released. The news was shared during Remedy's latest quarterly report.

Status of FBC: Firebreak

According to Remedy, FBC: Firebreak will remain "live and playable." The studio noted that the infrastructure costs required to keep the game online will not be significant. That offers some reassurance for current players, who can keep playing without worrying about the game being shut down.

Player count and platforms

At the moment, FBC: Firebreak has just seven active players on Steam. The game is also available through Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus, in addition to being purchasable directly. That gives fans several ways to play, regardless of platform preference.

Latest updates and future

The last major content update, titled 'Open House,' was released in March. With that update, the game was moved into maintenance mode, meaning no new content will be added beyond bug fixes. The March update also brought a permanent price cut and introduced a new feature for inviting friends to play together.

Remedy's future

This quarterly report is the first under Remedy's new CEO, Jean-Charles Gaudechon, who previously worked at EA. During the presentation, he emphasized his confidence in Remedy's vision and future. Despite the changes across the games industry, Remedy remains focused on its unique creative identity and on delivering high-quality original content. The studio also has several other projects in the pipeline, including Control Resonant and remakes of Max Payne 1 and 2, along with another unannounced project in the proof-of-concept stage.
