In addition to the standard edition, Remedy has introduced the FBC: Firebreak Deluxe Edition, priced at $49.99 / €49.99 / £39.99. This premium version comes with a variety of exclusive cosmetics and voice packs, including:

  • “The Firestarter” Premium Voice Pack
  • “The Pencil Pusher” Premium Voice Pack
  • Firestarter Armor Set, Apex Revision (Helmet, Body Armor, Gloves)
  • Scorched Remnant Double-Barrel Shotgun Skin
  • Golden Firebreak Spray
  • Classified Requisition: “Firestarter”: A collection of 36 unlockable cosmetic items including weapon skins, sprays, and armor sets

Owners of the base game can upgrade to the Deluxe Edition for an additional $10 / €10 / £7, ensuring they can enjoy these exclusive items without needing to purchase the full Deluxe Edition upfront.

The official description of FBC: Firebreak introduces the Requisitions system, which rewards players with new gear and cosmetics simply by playing the game. Requisitions can include weapons, equipment, armor, sprays, and more, all unlockable using in-game currency earned through gameplay. Importantly, there are no limited-time windows or rotating stores; once an item is added to the game, it remains available permanently.

For players looking for additional customization, Classified Requisitions offer premium cosmetic items such as armor sets, custom voice packs, sprays, and weapon skins. These can be purchased with real money, but they are purely cosmetic and have no impact on gameplay. They, too, will be available permanently.

Remedy has confirmed plans for ongoing support post-launch, including the introduction of two new Jobs in 2025, with more updates slated for 2026. All new content, such as Jobs, will be free for all players. While cosmetics can be purchased, they won't affect gameplay, and Remedy assures there will be no limited-time rotations or daily log-ins.

This release comes during a busy period for Remedy, which is also developing Control 2 and a remake compilation of Max Payne and Max Payne 2. Fans of the studio have much to look forward to in the coming years.
