In the second part of the FBC: Firebreak Developer April 2025 broadcast, Remedy's Communications Director, Thomas Puha, joined Julius Fondem (Community Manager) and Mike Kayatta (Game Director) on the stream to talk about launch details, including that all important launch date.
Mark your calendars! FBC: Firebreak will be coming to PC (via Steam & Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S/X on June 17th 2025! It is also set to launch Day One on the Xbox PC Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate as well as the PlayStation Plus Game Catalogue, available for all Extra and Premium members.
There will be two versions available; The Standard Edition ($39.99 / €39.99 / £32.99) and the Deluxe Edition ($49.99 / €49.99 / £39.99). Similar to Alan Wake 2 and Control, Remedy has revealed that there will also be a separate Deluxe Edition Upgrade if you chose to buy it later. It can be a Future-You decision.
In the Deluxe Edition, players will unlock a unique Firestarter armour set called Apex Revision, the Scorched Remnant Double-Barrel Shotgun weapon skin, and Golden Firebreak graffiti spray, along with two unique voice packs (The Firestarter and The Pencil Pusher).
Describing the voice packs, Puha reveals that “the Standard Edition, or the game itself, contains multiple different voices, male and female, that you can choose. There's some customization that you can do. But the voice packs are all new dialogue and different actors so it's not just different actors doing the exact same dialogue and the barks that the game has, but this is some new content and I think there's a very fun Remedy spin on those.”
Puha also expanded on the types of customization the game includes. In FBC: Firebreak, they have “Requisitions” to allow you to customise your overalls and kit. There are two types of Requisitions available; Operational Requisitions (part of the game and unlockable as you progress) and Classified Requisitions (optional paid cosmetics).
The studio has clarified that all playable post-launch content will be free. Following the release of the title in June, the team will be releasing two new jobs later this year, with additional plans in the works for 2026.
Alongside each job, the team will also be releasing an optional paid cosmetic pack filed under Classified Requisitions, which will be a permanent feature on the store. The first pack will come bundled with the Deluxe Edition and includes the Firestarter Classified Requisition cosmetic pack featuring four armour sets, twelve gun skins and twelve graffiti sprays.
