It&#8217;s probably Game Pass. Maybe Firebreak is super popular on the Microsoft Xbox Series X or something, but I&#8217;d be willing to bet good money on my hunch, here.<\/p>\n<p>The good news being, Remedy may well have had enough interest in Firebreak to tank the hit. The bad news being, it sets FBC: Firebreak on a rough road to recovery, which is a shame. I didn&#8217;t hate my time with Firebreak, but like many others, I found myself utterly baffled by its progression system.<\/p>\n<p>For starters, it&#8217;s stingy. You get a set of pea-shooters and are barred from interesting upgrades by an immediate doldrum grind. What&#8217;s more, every time you want to do a mission, you have to replay it three times\u2014unlocking more and more of the campaign as you go.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine if, say, in Left 4 Dead&#8217;s iconic No Mercy campaign, you had to do The Apartments. Then, you had to do The Apartments and The Subway on a separate run. Then, on a third run, you had to do The Apartments, The Subway, and <em>then <\/em>you were allowed to do The Sewer. This is how FBC: Firebreak does it. Why? Uhhh.<\/p>\n<p>I had an acceptable time, but I kept thinking to myself: &#8220;Man, I wish I was playing Darktide right now&#8221;. It&#8217;s a real shame, because all of these problems do seem solvable. But if Firebreak&#8217;s 1 million players are indeed majority Game Pass-ers, then a lot of them won&#8217;t have actually bought the thing.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, if Remedy turns Firebreak into a much better co-op shooter, but it&#8217;s not on Game Pass in the future? You need to get players to buy in, rather than simply clear up some drive space. I wish Remedy the best of luck, but I&#8217;m not holding my breath.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"8a9d83b3-9c44-4cba-af04-f89c765df09c\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:400px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"Vji3V6i3HDWUHeQ22PrjFL\" name=\"New Project (8).jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/despite-limping-on-steam-charts-with-a-24-hour-peak-of-less-than-200-fbc-firebreak-hits-1-million-players-milestone-and-lets-face-it-its-probably-game-pass.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-games-2025-upcoming-pc-release-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"8a9d83b3-9c44-4cba-af04-f89c765df09c\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2025 games<\/strong><\/a>: This year&#8217;s upcoming releases<strong><br \/><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/fps\/despite-limping-on-steam-charts-with-a-24-hour-peak-of-less-than-200-fbc-firebreak-hits-1-million-players-milestone-and-lets-face-it-its-probably-game-pass\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Remedy&#8217;s latest multiplayer shooter has\u2026 uh, not done particularly well for itself, if the Steam numbers are anything to go by.
