As PvE co-op shooters go, FBC: Firebreak sometimes feels middling, but it also has a good amount of potential to be quite fun with friends. And as it launches for free as part of PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass for June 2025, I'm sure we’ll see plenty of players diving in since there's no real downside to giving it a shot.
I think there's a solid chance for this game to catch on with a certain community of players, but it will most likely be defined and carried by the group of people you play with. There is some joy to be had elsewise, but this one feels like it's been designed specifically with friendship in mind, and the solo or matchmade experience won't be worth it for most.
