Foamstars Shifts to Free-to-Play Model in October

Square Enix's underperforming shooter aims to revive its player base by removing the cost of entry and PlayStation Plus requirement.

  • Foamstars will be free-to-play starting October 4, 2024, after struggling to maintain an active player base.
  • Current owners will receive a Legacy Gift Pack with exclusive in-game items.
  • The game will no longer require a PlayStation Plus subscription for online play.
  • The move raises questions about the future of other PlayStation exclusives like Concord.
  • Foamstars initially launched in February 2024 but failed to attract sustained interest.
