Remedy asked players through social media to join a closed technical test for FBC: Firebreak this weekend. The studio wants to check how crossplay works among PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S users from May 15 to May 19. Firebreak will launch in about a month as Remedy's first game with multiplayer features. This marks a major shift for the company known for its top-notch single-player games.
The test might help attract new fans to Remedy's work. People who like multiplayer games but have never tried Remedy's titles could discover other games, such as Alan Wake and Control, through Firebreak. This might boost interest before the release of Control 2. Fans of Control need not worry about missing story elements if they skip Firebreak. Remedy said earlier this year that Control 2 will continue the main story. Though Firebreak contains some hidden references, players can jump straight into Control 2 without playing Firebreak first.
