'FBC: Firebreak' Comes To PS5, Xbox Series X|S And PC Later This Summer, Reveals More Game Details, Shows Off Gameplay - Screens & Trailer

FBC: Firebreak is a 3-player cooperative first-person shooter set within Control's enigmatic Federal Bureau of Control (FBC).

FBC: Firebreak is a cooperative first-person shooter set within a mysterious federal agency under assault by otherworldly forces. As a years-long siege on the agency’s headquarters reaches its boiling point, only Firebreak— the Bureau’s most versatile unit—has the gear and the guts to plunge into the building’s strangest crises, restore order, and blast their way back from the brink.

Dive into the Federal Bureau of Control’s (FBC) unpredictable and extradimensional headquarters during its darkest—and strangest—hours. As one of the FBC’s fearless first responders, you and your team are on call to confront everything from reality-warping anomalies to otherworldly monsters... no matter the odds. Will you contain the chaos or finally lose control?

Join forces with friends or strangers to tackle each mission as a well-oiled crew. Survival in this three-player cooperative FPS hinges on quick thinking and seamless teamwork as you scramble to tame raging paranatural crises across a variety of unexpected locations. Improve your odds by utilizing the tools and skills that make you unique or improvising with whatever’s on hand to support your crew.


Launching in summer 2025, FBC: Firebreak is Remedy Entertainment’s first self-published game and will be available on PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. A mid-priced title, FBC: Firebreak will also be available day one via PC Game Pass, Game Pass Ultimate, and PlayStation Plus Game Catalog (Extra and Premium).

FBC: Firebreak is a session-based, multiplayer PvE experience set within the Control universe, delivering intense cooperative action. The game features highly replayable missions known as Jobs, each uniquely designed with different challenges, objectives, and environments that require teamwork and adaptability.

The latest trailer showcases one such Job, Paper Chase, where an outbreak of rogue sticky notes in the Executive Sector of the Oldest House – seemingly harmless at first – spirals into a full-blown paranatural crisis. Players must push through three escalating zones, culminating in a chaotic showdown against a towering, gargantuan manifestation of these anomalies.

Before diving into a Job, players choose their Crisis Kit. Crisis Kits shape each Firebreaker’s playstyle, providing distinct weapons, tools, and powerful reality-bending augments that can turn the tide of a mission.

  • Jump Kit - Focused on electricity-based abilities, excelling in field control and mobility.
  • Fix Kit - A heavy-hitting kit built around impact-based attacks, including a massive wrench.
  • Splash Kit - A water-based kit specializing in manipulating battlefield conditions and supporting teammates.

Remedy will continue expanding FBC: Firebreak with post-launch content. All future playable content, including new Jobs, will be free. Players will have the option to purchase cosmetics, but none of these items will affect gameplay, and there will be no limited-time rotations or daily log-ins. More details will be shared in the future.

Remedy will host a special community AMA on the FBC: Firebreak Steam page on March 31 at 9 AM PST / 5 PM GMT / 7 PM EET, offering fans a chance to learn more about the game, its systems, and future plans.

Before deploying, select your weapon and customize your Firebreaker’s Crisis Kit with specialized tools, grenades, support items, and paranatural augments... then modify them to suit your strategy and change the way you play. Experiment with different loadouts to perfect your playstyle and synergize with your team, giving you the edge to succeed in every mission, no matter the difficulty.

Return to the strange and unexpected world of Control or venture in for the first time in this standalone, multiplayer experience. Discover the iconic and unfathomable headquarters of the FBC — the Oldest House — from an entirely new perspective as a team of volunteer first responders with nothing but gear and guts to bring the Bureau back from the brink.

FBC: Firebreak is in development for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam / Epic Games Store), scheduled for Summer 2025.
