The latest business review from Remedy Entertainment is both unsurprisingly negative and surprisingly optimistic, with the developer finding a silver lining in the technical inroads made with FBC: Firebreak, a multiplayer shooter that's become one of 2025's biggest failures.
In recent weeks, Remedy issued a "profit warning" acknowledging that FBC: Firebreak had not reversed its fortunes despite post-launch updates. The game stumbled out of the gate, and for weeks now (according to SteamDB) has averaged well under 50 concurrent players on Steam, below Remedy's much older single-player games like Control, Alan Wake, and even some Max Payne entries.
