Remedy Entertainment recently revealed on social media that its inaugural multiplayer title, FBC: Firebreak, has attracted over one million users. While celebrating the achievement, the studio emphasized ongoing efforts to enhance the experience:
As of yesterday, FBC: Firebreak has surpassed one million players. This marks a major achievement, and we’re grateful to everyone who’s joined the adventure. The team remains focused on refining the game—expect exciting updates in the near future.
The milestone, however, comes with context: the title launched day one on PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass, likely contributing significantly to its reach. Steam data tells a different story, with concurrent players dwindling from a peak of 1,992 to recent lows under 200. User ratings on the platform remain divided, hovering at 67% positive.
While early trends raise questions, the title’s fate isn’t sealed. Online games often experience rocky starts before finding stability—or fade after initial hype. Remedy’s capacity to iterate based on feedback will prove critical, a challenge many studios struggle with in the live-service arena.
