Overview
- FBC: Firebreak hit over one million players in its first ten days thanks to Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus subscriptions, but full-price sales on Steam and consoles underdelivered.
- Remedy cites initial onboarding issues and mission design for high early drop-off rates and negative reviews, and reports that updates have since turned player feedback more positive.
- Quarter-on-quarter revenue rose 63.5% to €16.9 million, driven by subscription agreement payments and ongoing royalties from Control and Alan Wake 2.
- A ‘Major Update’ slated for late September will rework the new-player experience, progression mechanics and mission pacing to strengthen engagement.
- Development on Control 2 remains on track and the Max Payne 1 & 2 remakes are in full production with close collaboration from Rockstar Games.
