Remedy Entertainment announced a technical test for FBC: Firebreak. Here is everything you need to know about how to sign up, the dates, available platforms, and whether there will be cross-play.
FBC: Firebreak is an upcoming three-player co-op FPS game that challenges you and your friends to stop an outbreak on the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC) before it’s too late. Players have a vast collection of weapons to take down an assortment of deadly foes, including a Gatling gun that shoots slime, a gnome RPG, and a lightning gun that thrusts you into the air.
Fans won’t have to wait much longer to get their hands on the game, as Remedy Entertainment announced a June 17 release date. It was also confirmed that PC Game Pass and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers will get access on day one. If you want to try the game early, though, there is an opportunity to do so.
