FBC: Firebreak – Gameplay Trailer

Hello everyone! This is Julius, Community Manager, on FBC: Firebreak. Today I’m very excited to reveal to you one of the Jobs in FBC: Firebreak – Paper Chase!

In Paper Chase you descend deep into The Oldest House, the Executive Sector to be more precise, where endlessly replicating Sticky Notes have run amok. However, these Sticky Notes won’t go down without a fight, and the Hiss are of course there to hinder you every step of the way. Quite the mess.

As you make your way deeper into The Executive Sector, you’ll face the biggest Sticky Note creature of them all: Sticky Ricky. Complete your objectives and get the hell out of there in one piece, or risk getting left behind by your crewmates. A job completed is what The Federal Bureau of Control prioritizes after all.

If you’re not familiar with FBC: Firebreak, it’s a 3-player cooperative first-person shooter set within the enigmatic Federal Bureau of Control (FBC). As the Bureau’s headquarters faces a deadly and prolonged siege by otherworldly forces, only Firebreak—its most adaptable response unit—has the skills and courage to restore order.

FBC: Firebreak is coming to Steam in Summer 2025 so Wishlist it now!

Control Ultimate Edition: March 2025 Update Notes

Hello, Director!

We're happy to announce that all owners of Control Ultimate Edition will be receiving a free content update. This includes three outfits, a previously platform-exclusive mission, HDR, DLSS 4, and several other improvements. Read on for the full update notes!

[h2]March 2025 Update (1.30) Release Notes[/h2]

[h3]OUTFITS[/h3]
The following outfits are now available to all players. The outfits can be accessed and equipped from the Control Point in the Central Executive Sector area.

Astral Dive Suit (formerly a pre-order exclusive)
Tactical Response Gear (formerly a pre-order exclusive)
Urban Response Gear (formerly a pre-order exclusive)

[h3]MISSIONS[/h3]
All players will receive the mission Dr. Yoshimi Tokui’s Guided Imagery Experience, featuring voiceover by Hideo Kojima. The mission is playable when you pick up the Dr Tokui Tapes collectible in the Extrasensory Lab of the Research Sector. (This mission was previously exclusive to the PlayStation 4 Digital Deluxe version of Control.)

[h3]GRAPHICS[/h3]

Added HDR support
Added new Ultra ray tracing preset, which gets you more rays per pixel and higher temporal stability
Fixed shadow flickering on new NVIDIA Series 5000 GPUs
Added Super Sampling support. The game can now render at resolutions higher than your output resolution.
Added a new High Quality Post Process setting. All post processes should now look better – depth of field, bloom, Hiss effects…
Added a new higher quality Anisotropic Filtering setting
Added ultrawide monitor support for up to 48:9 monitors
Added an FOV scaling setting for the gameplay camera
Updated SDR to 10bit (from 8bit), which reduces visible color banding
Improved graphics adapter detection at startup, with automatic selection between DX11 and DX12
Improved the quality of our own in-house TAA solution. This results in less ghosting and better textures.
Implemented screen aspect ratio fixes for ultrawide monitors
Your current monitor resolution can now reliably be selected from the screen resolution and rendering resolution menus
Added rendering resolution support beyond 4K
Implemented texture streaming fixes
Ray tracing bug fixes

[h3]DLSS SUPPORT[/h3]

Added DLSS support for arbitrary resolutions
Added DLAA support
Updated DLSS to DLSS 4, with higher temporal stability
Film grain added back to DLSS SR
Fixed shadow resolution when DLSS is enabled
Added resolution dependent mip map bias for DLSS. This enhances texture quality, for example when applying the DLSS Performance setting.

[h3]GENERAL[/h3]

Updated the audio on cinematics and end credits to remove unintended channel mixing. You will no longer hear anything that isn’t intended to be heard. (It wasn’t the Hiss, it was us. Sorry.)
Several bug and crash fixes

Free Control update brings Hideo Kojima to all players, and HDR support

Control is a game with an impeccable sense of visual direction. The story of Jesse Faden's trip through The Oldest House is certainly gripping and the gameplay is tight, but it's the vibes that keep me coming back. The brutalist architecture flawlessly integrates with Remedy's science fiction and excellent world-building to make Control an experience unlike any other, and it's just got even better. A new update from Remedy adds some platform exclusive content to PC, and brings plenty of graphical improvements, too.
