Remedy announces very friendly minimum specs for its co-op Control spinoff, FBC: Firebreak. You only need a GTX 1070 for 1080 60 fps play

The furnace ventilation area with fires breaking out in FBC: Firebreak.

I've been hanging out for Remedy's next game after falling head over heels in love with the developer's last big hit, Control. So when FBC: Firebreak was announced by the brand last year, I was delighted to see the team is bringing a cooperative shooter into this twisted world. Control resonated with me so intensely that it's in my top ten games of all time. This is in no small part thanks to how deeply weird the game can be, and FBC: Firebreak is looking to ramp this right up for some silly fire-zombie shenanigans.

With any new game release, there's always the question of hardware. And given how much of a ray tracing demon Control was for its time, I was a little worried about how demanding FBC might end up. There's not much reason to get excited for a game that my machine can't even run. Well, thankfully, Remedy recently announced the required specs over on BlueSky, and this is looking like a game that will still run, even on a fairly dated rig.
