Now Playing: FBC: Firebreak – Gameplay Trailer

"We are working on a hotfix for this issue, which we expect to hit Steam later today [June 17], with other platforms following as soon as possible," Remedy said. It's important to note that this hotfix will already significantly help cross-platform matchmaking across the entire player base."

For the time being, Remedy said it advised players to use the Quick Play option to try to join matches. The developer said this should ensure players find matches populated with other users. Alternatively, Remedy said people can group up with two other people using the Party Code system and launch as a team.

"Thank you for your understanding," the developer said.

In other news, FBC's game director Mike Kayatta shared a heartfelt message celebrating the game's launch. "For years, our small team has been hard at work building a game that we, ourselves, would play with our friends. And what's come from that effort is something made from passion and grit that we couldn't be more excited to share with the world," he said.

Kyatta went on to say that Remedy is not celebrating because it's done with FBC, but instead because "we're finally starting."

"By putting Firebreak in your hands, we're officially opening our doors to you and to every other player who wants to join us in being part of its future. Working together, we can and will continue to grow this game into the best version of itself that it can be," Kyatta said.

FBC is available through Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus, or it can be purchased outright for $40. It's a co-op first-person shooter that takes place "within a mysterious federal agency under assault by otherworldly forces."
