Remedy lays out its plan to fix FBC: Firebreak, which includes improved onboarding
Remedy has announced plans to fix FBC: Firebreak and restore the good will of consumers after a rough launch earlier this year. Many of the issues surrounding the launch were regarding the onboarding process, which the company acknowledges by saying that "many players come into the game and leave within the first hour." Remedy is trying to make that opening hour more welcoming to new players, so they don't "feel ineffective and confused as to what to do." It has already placed an introductory video in the game with a narrative to explain the world and how it relates to the developer's hit game Control , as FBC: Firebreak is set in the same universe. Remedy promises more of this type of "narrative onboarding" will come to the game later this year. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings.

It's building a playable tutorial level, as the developer acknowledges it needs "to do a better job" teaching new players the core mechanics and features. It's also taking a page out of Nintendo's playbook and introducing more "pop up" tips that will appear at "relevant times" throughout the first couple of hours. The forthcoming updates aren't just about onboarding. Remedy will be adding three new heavy guns to the arsenal and introducing a modding system for weapons. The company will share more about this system "before September." It's also introducing "big changes to the way" players access missions and beefing up the missions themselves. The developer says it's refining several elements to increase the fun factor, going on to say that it will be "weeding out our least fun experience" and "focusing on our best experiences." There will even be new game modes and missions down the line. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings.

For the uninitiated, FBC: Firebreak is a multiplayer FPS that places an emphasis on cooperative action. It's available on Game Pass and PlayStation Plus, so it could technically be "free" to check out any progress the dev has made since launch.

PS Plus Extra and Premium July 2025 games revealed as Cyberpunk 2077 appears
The PS Plus Extra and Premium July 2025 games are set to be revealed by a new PlayStation blog post, and we'll bring you all the details once they're made available. The latest batch of PS Plus games has landed, offering Extra and Premium subscribers a fresh array of titles including Cyberpunk 2077 and Abiotic Factor. PS Plus Extra and Premium generally offers good value, but despite last month's release featuring a brand new title from a top-notch development team, players didn't stay engaged for long. The PS Plus Extra and Premium June update saw the introduction of Remedy's FBC: Firebreak, a new three-player co-op shooter set in the world of Control that ultimately failed to captivate players, and it was supplemented by Battlefield 2042, a game that has long passed its peak. It wasn't ideal, but the service managed to turn things around for a different group of players. The PS Plus Essential July drop truly delivered, unleashing Diablo 4 on players, along with the rising indie game Jusant that filled the void left by the viral success of Peak, being a PC exclusive title. It was a fantastic month, and even though our PS Plus Extra and Premium July predictions were slightly off the mark, we remained confident that we'd receive a solid selection of games. And thankfully, that's exactly what we got. Here's what you need to know about the new PS Plus Extra and Premium July 2025 games.

PS Plus Extra and Premium July 2025 reveal time
It's almost time for Sony to unveil the latest batch of PlayStation Plus games for Extra and Premium subscribers, with hopes high that they'll be as good as this month's Essential drop. PS Plus is gearing up to offer players a fresh batch of games at no additional cost, with high hopes that they'll match the quality of this month's Essential drop. The time is nearly upon us for a new round of PS Plus games for Extra and Premium subscribers, a moment that stirs excitement among many players, particularly those who found last month's offering somewhat lacklustre. The PS Plus Extra and Premium June games were largely aimed at shooter fans, featuring a game that didn't quite have the stamina to last the month. FBC: Firebreak led the pack as the latest game in the Control mythology but struggled to make a splash (a common issue when multiplayers launch on subscription services on day one, as was the case with FBC: Firebreak's Xbox Game Pass debut on the same day), and the rest of the drop fell short with Battlefield 2042 landing rather flatly on the service. It's not the ideal situation for subscribers, but they've learned to simply wait for next month, or at least the next Essential drop, which has proven to be quite significant with the arrival of Diablo 4 on PS Plus Essential last month. Regardless, a new collection of games is coming, whether they align with our PS Extra and Premium July 2025 predictions or not. But when exactly can we anticipate the PS Plus Extra and Premium reveal time? Here's when we can expect the new titles.

PS Plus Extra and Premium July 2025 reveal time The reveal time for the PS Plus Extra and Premium July 2025 is scheduled for 8.30am PDT / 11.30am EDT / 4.30pm BST on Wednesday, July 9. This is because the Extra and Premium games for any given month are always unveiled on the second Wednesday of every month, before being released the following Tuesday, which in this case is Tuesday, July 15. It's fortunate that there are more games coming, particularly with classics like Resident Evil 2 and the Twisted Metal series set to join the Premium service during this summer showcase season, as if our gaming backlogs weren't already substantial. Prepare yourself, as it could dominate your life for the next month or so.

PS Plus Extra and Premium July 2025 predictions and reveal date
The PS Plus Extra and Premium July 2025 reveal date is almost upon us, so it's time to take a look at what we think could be coming to the service – and luckily for us, we have a pretty good idea. The forthcoming PS Plus collection is gearing up for its big reveal, with high expectations that Extra and Premium subscribers will be treated to a plethora of top-notch titles. PS Plus has a habit of being hit-and-miss with each new release, but at this point, it's simply part of the journey. The service always provides something to anticipate, as even if it releases games you're not eager to play immediately, it continually offers more choices, ensuring every kind of gamer has something to delve into. The PS Plus Extra and Premium June 2025 drop had plenty to offer, even if not all resonated – the quirky newcomer FBC: Firebreak arrived and struggled to make the significant impact that Remedy's first extraction shooter was expected to, and Battlefield 2042's late arrival was fun for an experiment with players who hadn't tried it before, but didn't get more thrilling than that. However, the service truly spoiled players with the Diablo 4 PS Plus Essential July drop, demonstrating that it still has a few surprises in store – and gamers are hopeful that it can deliver another impressive collection of titles with PS Plus Extra and Premium. Fortunately for us, we have a fairly reliable way of predicting what could be coming next. The most effective method to predict what might feature in any given PS Plus update is to examine the games that were released this time last year, add a year to those games' original PlayStation release date, and see which games were launched around the same month. In this instance, we're examining the PS Plus Extra and Premium games July 2024, which included Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, and No More Heroes 3. It's an odd month of deep cuts, but adding a year onto Wrath of the Righteous' March 2024 release date brings us to March 2025, which saw the launch of Carmen Sandiego, Dungeons of Hinterberg, and Atomfall. Larger games like Split Fiction and Two Point Museum were also launched during this month, but it might be a bit unlikely to see them appear due to the quick turnaround from their release. However, games like Dungeons of Hinterberg would be well received by players, making for a fantastic month – a fantastic month that's about to get a reveal. Here's what you need to know about the PS Plus Extra and Premium July 2025 reveal date.

PS Plus Extra and Premium July 2025 reveal date The PS Plus Extra and Premium July 2025 reveal date is Wednesday, July 9 at 8.30am PDT / 11.30am EDT / 4.30pm BST. We know this because PlayStation always unveils these games on the second Wednesday of every month, before delivering them to players on the following Tuesday, which in this case will be Tuesday, July 15. It won't be long before we find out what's in store, but it would be a fantastic month if our predictions turn out to be accurate. Honestly, though, it's more games to play without any additional cost. We'll gladly accept whatever we can get.

Diablo 4 Season 8 end date – when the game steps into a new content drop
The Diablo 4 Season 8 end date is fast approaching, meaning fans don't have long left to complete the content on offer before the ninth season begins in earnest Diablo 4 is set to receive more content in an upcoming update that remains shrouded in mystery, but regardless, many fans will be relieved to bid farewell to Season 8. In a broad sense, Diablo 4 Season 8 has been about endings, making its conclusion all the more fitting. Belial's Return introduced a revamped endgame, which was initially welcomed with open arms before launch – however, the season hasn't exactly been a hit with fans. Changes to the game's passes have left players feeling exploited for money, and complaints about dull missions and lacklustre efforts from developers have eroded Blizzard's goodwill among the most devoted Diablo fans. It's a challenging time, especially as other games are making their mark – players seeking co-op titles are trying out FBC: Firebreak's unique gameplay, and with the Nintendo Switch 2 launch library offering so much, it's surprising that many players haven't already abandoned ship. Things are looking a bit grim at the moment, but as Diablo continues to commit to its seasonal releases, there's still a lot of optimism that the game can rally for the upcoming ninth season. After all, the game made quite a splash at launch and demonstrated that Diablo can still hold its own in today's gaming world, despite a few early seasons struggling to validate the model's sustainability before getting back on track. New seasons are a gamble for Diablo fans, and it's clear that not everyone is convinced at this point. Perhaps the game should have taken a leaf out of Bethesda 's book and introduced a new fishing update like Fallout 76. However, more is coming as the end date for Diablo 4 Season 8 nears and a slew of secret, enigmatic changes are set to premiere in the game, hopefully giving it a fresh lease of life. But when exactly will we bid farewell to the current season? Here's what you need to know about the Diablo 4 Season 8 end date. READ MORE: PS Plus Essential July 2025 games reveal time, and when you can download the PS5 and PS4 titles Diablo 4 Season 8 end date The end date for Diablo 4 Season 8 is scheduled for Monday, June 30. This has been confirmed by an in-game day timer, which is counting down to this date. No specific time has been announced yet, but we're expected to find out by the end of the week. While there's still a lot to discover about the forthcoming ninth season, it's clear that the end date for Diablo 4 Season 8 is rapidly nearing. If you're a fan of the content it provided, then dive in while you have the chance – otherwise, prepare for fresh content.
