FBC: Firebreak is Remedy Entertainment’s first venture into online multiplayer shooters, and it’s almost here! If you’re wondering how much it costs and which edition makes the most sense, I have the details. Let’s see what you’ll get for your money and if upgrading is worth it.
Remedy recently celebrated a massive success with Alan Wake 2, which sold over two million copies and made a profit. Now, they’re shifting gears with FBC: Firebreak, an online multiplayer FPS that’s a fresh direction for the studio.
- The Standard Edition of FBC: Firebreak costs $39.99. This edition gives you access to the core game but doesn’t include some extra goodies that come with the Deluxe Edition.
- The Deluxe Edition costs $49.99 and adds exclusive cosmetics and premium voice packs for character customization. If you start with the Standard Edition, upgrading later costs $10.
If you’re a big Remedy fan who loves extra flair, the Deluxe Edition offers neat customization options. But if you’re mainly focused on gameplay, the Standard Edition covers everything you’ll need.
Remedy has already shared a post-launch roadmap for 2025. Two major free updates, Codename “Outbreak” and Codename “Blackout” will add new jobs, equipment, enemies, and gameplay systems later this year. Both updates will be free for all players, so you won’t miss out on content whether you buy Standard or Deluxe.
The fact that these big DLC packs are free makes the Deluxe Edition less of a must-have. You get the same gameplay experience, so why pay more upfront? You can always grab the cosmetic extras later if you want them.
