PS Plus Extra Confirms Day One Game for 2025

PlayStation Plus Extra subscribers can look forward to playing FBC: Firebreak on the day of its release in 2025. PlayStation Plus Extra doesn’t get nearly as many day one games as its chief competitor, Xbox Game Pass, but day one games do hit that tier of the service on occasion.

There are no day one PS Plus Extra games for October 2024, but the September 2024 lineup included The Plucky Squire, a well-received Zelda-like action-adventure game. Earlier this year, Animal Well debuted on PS Plus Extra, which was especially notable as that game is one of the year’s highest-rated new releases. Now those signed up for the Extra tier of PlayStation Plus have even more to look forward to, as yet another game has been confirmed as a day one release.

It’s been announced that Remedy Entertainment’s FBC: Firebreak, a 3-player first-person online co-op game set in the universe of Alan Wake and Control, will be launching as a day one game on PS Plus Extra. When FBC: Firebreak was first announced, it was confirmed as a day one Xbox Game Pass game, but there was no mention of PS Plus at the time, since the reveal happened as part of an Xbox event. A release date for FBC: Firebreak has yet to be announced, but it’s expected to release at some point in 2025.

FBC: Firebreak marks the second time that a game was released for both PS Plus Extra and Xbox Game Pass on the same day of its launch. The last time this happened was with Sea of Stars, a well-reviewed RPG that takes inspiration from classics like Chrono Trigger. It’s possible future games will debut on PS Plus and Xbox Game Pass simultaneously, but it will still be an incredibly rare occasion.

While FBC: Firebreak is specifically coming to the Extra tier of PS Plus when it launches in 2025, it will also be available to those who are signed up for PS Plus Premium. PS Plus Premium is the most expensive tier of the service, and as such, it includes all of the PS Plus perks in one package. This means anyone that is signed up for PS Plus Premium can get all the free games that are part of the Essential tier, the PS4 and PS5 games that are added as part of the Extra tier, and the retro games that are exclusive to the Premium tier.

FBC: Firebreak is a cooperative first-person shooter set within a mysterious federal agency under assault by otherworldly forces. As a years-long siege on the agency’s headquarters reaches its boiling point, only Firebreak— the Bureau’s most versatile unit—has the gear and the guts to plunge into the building’s strangest crises, restore order, and blast their way back from the brink.

Paranatural Pandemonium
Dive into the Federal Bureau of Control’s (FBC) unpredictable and extradimensional headquarters during its darkest—and strangest—hours. As one of the FBC’s fearless first responders, you and your team are on call to confront everything from reality-warping anomalies to otherworldly monsters… no matter the odds. Will you contain the chaos or finally lose control?

Cooperative Chaos
Join forces with friends or strangers to tackle each mission as a well-oiled crew. Survival in this three-player cooperative FPS hinges on quick thinking and seamless teamwork as you scramble to tame raging paranatural crises across a variety of unexpected locations. Improve your odds by utilizing the tools and skills that make you unique or improvising with whatever’s on hand to support your crew.

Beyond Bullets
Before deploying, select your weapon and customize your Firebreaker’s Crisis Kit with specialized tools, grenades, support items, and paranatural augments… then modify them to suit your strategy and change the way you play. Experiment with different loadouts to perfect your playstyle and synergize with your team, giving you the edge to succeed in every mission, no matter the difficulty.

The Federal Bureau of Control
Return to the strange and unexpected world of Control or venture in for the first time in this standalone, multiplayer experience.
