The game was first revealed as Project Condor in 2021, and from then, we have been getting steady updates regarding the game including the first gameplay in 2024. And now, Remedy has officially revealed the system requirements for this co-op PvE title. Here are they: FBC Firebreak Minimum System Requirements Processor : Intel Core i5-7600K/ AMD Ryzen 5 1600X Memory : 16 GB RAM Graphics : NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 / AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT Video Memory (VRAM): 6 GB Storage: 30 GB SSD Operating System: Windows 10/11 64-bit FBC Firebreak Recommended System Requirements Processor: Intel Core i5-8500/ AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Memory: 16 GB RAM Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 / AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT Video Memory (VRAM): 8 GB Storage: 30 GB SSD Operating System: Windows 10/11 64-bit FBC Firebreak High System Requirements Processor: Intel Core i5-8500/ AMD Ryzen 5 2600 Memory: 16 GB RAM Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 / AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT Video Memory (VRAM): 8 GB Storage: 30 GB SSD Operating System: Windows 10/11 64-bit FBC Firebreak High Ray Tracing System Requirements Processor: Intel Core i7-8700K/ AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Memory: 16 GB RAM Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 / AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT Video Memory (VRAM): 10 GB Storage: 30 GB SSD Operating System: Windows 10/11 64-bit Despite being released in 2019, Control itself was a graphically demanding game. Now, there's no doubt that its spin-off title is going to follow the same path. The recommended system requirement is supposed to run the game at a resolution of 1440p at 60 FPS. However, if you want to play the game in 4K at 60 FPS, then you ought to have the high/high Ray Tracing system setup. As FBC Firebreak is responding to its beta feedback, we hope Remedy will make this game graphically optimized for all kinds of setups, under the given system requirements.

Remedy Entertainment PLC (RMDEF) reported a 24% increase in revenue, reaching EUR13.4 million for Q1 2025. The company returned to profitability with an EBIT of EUR1.3 million and EBITDA of EUR2.6 million. Remedy successfully acquired the publishing rights to the Control franchise, allowing them to fully drive its sales. The company has transitioned to self-publishing, with a dedicated team of 25 professionals, enhancing control over their game launches. FBC Firebreak, Remedy's first self-published game, is set to launch on June 17th, with positive early reception from media and players. Cash flow from operations was negative at EUR6.6 million, primarily due to payment timings. The acquisition of Control's publishing rights led to a slower sales quarter for the franchise. External development costs decreased, reflecting potential variability in project needs and expenses. The company faces a competitive gaming market, with potential challenges in capturing audience attention. There is uncertainty regarding the impact of tariffs and currency fluctuations on future sales and profitability. Q: How have expectations for FBC Firebreak developed since the beginning of the year after receiving feedback from players and media? A: Tero Virtala, CEO: The reception has been very positive, confirming our belief in the game's quality. External validation from players and media has been inspiring and motivating, reducing some of the uncertainties inherent in game development. Q: How do you view the publishing window for FBC Firebreak in June, and what are the main competitors? A: Tero Virtala, CEO: June is a good window for the game. While the gaming market is competitive, we believe the timing is favorable. Although some co-op games are releasing in May, June typically sees a good audience for new games, and we are well-positioned for our launch. Q: Is FBC Firebreak still coming to PC Game Pass? A: Tero Virtala, CEO: Yes, FBC Firebreak will be available on PC Game Pass. When referring to Game Pass on Xbox, it includes PC Game Pass as well. Q: Will there be a trailer or teaser for the Max Payne 1 and 2 remake this year? A: Tero Virtala, CEO: The Max Payne remake will be published by Rockstar Games, and all communications and marketing are managed by them. We are not commenting on this. Q: Have external development costs decreased permanently, or is it related to the development phase of different projects? A: Santtu Kallionpaa, CFO: The decrease in external development costs reflects the needs of current game projects. Compared to Q1 2024, we had different external development costs, and now all are related to current projects in development. Q: Do you foresee any need to increase operating expenses in the coming quarters? A: Santtu Kallionpaa, CFO: We do not anticipate significant increases in our permanent organization. However, self-publishing may incur additional marketing costs in the coming quarters. Q: How have you ensured FBC Firebreak will work technically at launch without crashing due to high player influx? A: Tero Virtala, CEO: Ensuring technical stability is a key part of development. We have conducted QA and various tests to ensure the game can handle high player volumes, following standard routines for such games. Q: How do you intend to expand your marketing strategy and extend your reach, particularly for the back catalog? A: Tero Virtala, CEO: While we cannot publicly discuss specifics, having our own publishing team allows us to focus on clear target audiences and secondary opportunities for our games. We have plans to reach these audiences effectively. For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.
