Finnish games studio Remedy Entertainment has released its last major content update for the troubled multiplayer title FBC: Firebreak.

In a release to investors, the company detailed the Open House update, which comes with a slew of new Control-themed content, as well as the Friend’s Pass, which allows people who have bought Firebreak to invite those who have not to play the game. Remedy has also reduced the price of the game in an effort to make it more accessible to new players.

Despite this being the last major content update for FBC: Firebreak, Remedy has assured its audience that the game will be both online and playable “for years to come”, likely to assuage concerns following titles such as Highguard being pulled offline shortly after a troubled release.

“FBC: Firebreak was built by a team fueled by passion and experimentation. That spirit shaped the game, but the moments that brought it to life were the ones that players created together,” game director Mike Kayatta said.

“We want to make sure those moments can continue for the players who are already here, and for anyone else looking for a high-energy, low-pressure game night with friends. That’s why the relay servers are staying up, the price is going down, and a Friend’s Pass is going in. From all of us on the team, thank you for your own passion and experimentation, and we’ll see you in there.”

FBC: Firebreak was Remedy’s first attempt at a multiplayer game; the title launched in June 2025 and did not have a strong critical or commercial reception. As a result, the company adjusted its fiscal outlook for the year following “weak sales” of the game. Later, Remedy would say that was “not satisfied” with its third-quarter performance on the back of Firebreak missing the mark.

In October of last year, Tero Virtala stepped down as CEO of Remedy. He took on the position in 2016. The company has since appointed former EA VP Jean-Charles Gaudechon as its new chief executive officer.
