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.
