Major Update Breakout Brings New Content and Tons of Changes to the Game
(Espoo, Finland – September 25, 2025) – Today Remedy Entertainment has revealed details for FBC: Firebreak’s first free Major Update, named Breakpoint, which brings systemic overhauls, new action-packed content, and quality-of-life improvements, reshaping the way the game plays. The Breakpoint update for FBC: Firebreak launches for all available platforms on September 29 and is free for all players.
FBC: Firebreak is a three-player co-op FPS where the Federal Bureau of Control’s first-response unit must contain an escalating paranormal threat. As part of the Breakpoint update, the following new features, content and enhancements have been made:
- Crisis Board - The Crisis Board replaces the Job Board, presenting playable, curated, content in a new way. With this new overhaul, players can easily track the various Crises that appear at different levels around the Oldest House, offering a larger variety of fun gameplay and utilizing level content better than ever.
- Enhanced Gameplay Loop - Each Crisis has more variety than what came before, making FBC: Firebreak more dynamic, less predictable, and closer to the first-responder fantasy at the heart of the game.
- An Improved Onboarding Experience - Remedy is making changes to the new player experience, making it easier to understand the core mechanics and to eliminate previous barriers for entry. This includes a new playable tutorial called “Orientation”, an introduction video which helps set the scene and Job overview videos, which helps players learn about each Crisis.
- New Content - Outbreak - A brand-new Crisis (formerly Job), which is set in the Research sector of the Oldest House. Firebreakers must research and contain a dangerous mold cluster, while battling new enemies. The update also adds three new guns, grenades, cosmetics and much more.
- Gun Improvements – A completely new feature in Breakpoint is the Gun Mod system. Gun Mods have modifiers that make guns more powerful or change their functionality. Each gun has three mod slots, giving you new options for customizing your arsenal.
- And Much More! - Players will notice improvements from top to bottom, including the way FBC: Firebreak communicates to players, such as improved visual communication of harmful conditions to help players better understand their surroundings and what causes damage.
Breakpoint is the first in a series of upcoming updates arriving over the next few months, with a further update scheduled for November, and another arriving in March 2026.
