Earlier this month, Remedy Entertainment expanded on its connected survivor horror world with the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Left 4 Dead-style co-op shooter 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:FBC: Firebreak, but it hasn't been the runaway success that the studi꧑o was no doubt hoping fo🌊r.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Opening to 'Mixed' reviews on Steam, it's already being outpaced by Call of Duty 2, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Back 4 Blood, and even Half-Life 2: Deathmatch with . Granted, the game launched on PS Plus and Xbox Game Pass, but so did Rematch, which hit 🐭muc🧜h higher figures. It's hardly a promising sign.

Where Does FBC: Firebreak Rank Among Remedy's Other Games?

FBC: Firebreak's player count places it at 1,854 in the Steam charts. For comparison, Control, the single-player game it spins off from — which lau𓆉nched in 2019 — is ranked 1,082 with a 24-hour peak of 608 players.

With a $40 price tag and notoriously little to do, it's not surprising that FBC: Firebreak isn't performing well. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:As our reviewer Eric Switzer said, the game "is neat, but it will only take a night or two to see everything it has to offer". Even then, its all-time peak is lacklustre compared to Remedy's more recent wor𝔍k:

Control Ultimate Edition	9,193
Alan Wake	6,652
Death Rally	3,351
FBC: Firebreak	1,992
Alan Wake's American Nightmare	738
Max Payne	727
Death Really (Classic)	699
Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne	326

While it only has around 80 players at the time of writing, thankfully, FBC: Firebreak supports cross-platform play. So, if you decide to pick it up on Steam to see what all the hubbub is about, you should be able to find a game with ღthose on PlayStation and Xbox.

However, there are reports on the Steam Forums of matchmaking issues, with . It's unclear if this is because FBC: Firebreak is suffering similarly low player counts ﷽across the board, or𒉰 if it's a wider matchmaking issue.
