FBC: Firebreak Preview — Ahti Approved Clean up Crew

FBC: Firebreak is proof of Remedy Entertainment’s continued effort to expand on and flesh out the rich, connected universe of their catalogue of games. The AAA studio’s latest project expands on its 2019 action-adventure game Control with a smaller in-scope but addictively engaging three-player cooperative first-person shooter.

I got to spend roughly two hours with an early build of FBC: Firebreak, where two others and I were given access to three levels present in the upcoming co-op shooter. As the game takes place within the world of Control, players who jump into FBC: Firebreak can expect all manner of paranormal chaos in the form of the Hiss, which have run amok in the Oldest House. As far as the story goes, FBC: Firebreak takes place six years after the events of Control, with the eponymous building entering a quarantine lockdown due to a state of crisis, due to increased Hiss activity, setting up the impetus of the multiplayer shooter.

FBC: Firebreak Closed Technical Test Sign-ups Open Now

Hello, Firebreakers! This is Julius, Community Manager on FBC: Firebreak. I know many of you have been asking for a playtest before the game launches and I’m glad to say that opportunity is here! The FBC: Firebreak Closed Technical Test will run from May 15th, 6AM PDT/9AM EDT/2PM BST/4PM EEST, until May 19th, 1:59PM PDT/4:59PM EDT/9:59PM BST/11:59PM EEST.

While we are communicating about this Closed Technical Test publicly to get a large amount of participants, this is a closed test, meaning you will not be allowed to share your experiences with the game publicly. That means no talking about the game here on the Steam forums, posting images online or streaming the game to a public audience.

The Technical Test will help us test the matchmaking and balancing of the game with a large audience and will give you the chance to experience two of the Jobs of the game, Paper Chase and Ground Control. On top of that you’ll have access to all 3 kits with all their equipment unlocked (this includes the Garden Gnome, Teapot, and Piggybank) and 3 of the guns in the game.

Sign-ups are open for all now but please have a look at our system requirements below before signing up:

OS: Windows 10 64-bit
Processor: Ryzen 7 3700X or equivalent
Memory: 16GB RAM
Graphics: GeForce RTX 2080 Ti

Note that the above system requirements are only for the Closed Technical Test and not the final game when it launches on June 17th.

You can sign-up here: https://firebreak.firstlook.gg/signup/tech-test-may-2025

Crossplay is supported so Firebreakers on all platforms can play together! You might even see some of the FBC: Firebreak developers matchmaking with you!

Capacity for the Technical Test is limited so signing up does not guarantee access. Director Faden has yet to approve the Unlimited Firebreakers Ordinance (U.F.O). Sorry about that.

If you have any additional questions about the Closed Technical Test, check out our Closed Technical Test FAQ. If the FAQ doesn’t answer your further questions, feel free to drop a comment in this thread.

Hope to see you in the Closed Technical Test!

FBC: Firebreak from Remedy releases June 17, aiming to be Steam Deck Verified

Good news for people wanting to play Remedy Entertainment's new game FBC: Firebreak, as it's releasing June 17th and it will be playable on Steam Deck (and so Desktop Linux too thanks to Valve's Proton).

Explaining Requisitions in FBC: Firebreak

Requisitions are sets of unlockable gear and cosmetics in FBC: Firebreak. Play the game, earn currency (Lost Assets), and use them to unlock what you want. No timed battle passes, no pressure!

There are two types of Requisitions in the game.

Requisition is a set of items that can include weapons, equipment and cosmetic items including armor pieces and sprays that players can unlock with in-game currency. Play the game, unlock stuff. Simple.
Classified Requisitions are a set of premium cosmetic items such as armor sets, sprays and weapon skins. Classified Requisitions are bought with real money. The items contained in Classified Requisitions have no impact on gameplay.

How They Work

Earn Lost Assets by completing Jobs.
Spend them to unlock items in any Requisition you have acquired.
Unlocking items isn’t fully linear; rather, you can choose what you want to unlock.
You can progress multiple Requisitions at once.

All requisitions are permanently available in the game, so you can unlock and progress at your own pace.

Gear up, stand out, and make every Job your own. Your Firebreaker, your way.
