FragPunk Console Release Date Announced: Coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S!
The hero-shooter FragPunk, previously delayed on consoles due to technical issues, is finally launching on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S on April 29, 2025. After a successful PC launch, the highly anticipated console version aims to deliver its fast-paced, strategic gameplay to a wider audience.
What to Expect from FragPunk on Consoles:
FragPunk is a 5v5 hero-based shooter with a unique twist. Players choose from 10 distinct heroes and leverage over 70 card combinations to drastically alter gameplay, giving themselves an edge in each match. The console release will feature:
* Cross-Platform Play and Cross-Progression: Play with friends on PC and continue your progress seamlessly across platforms.
* Season 1 Rewards and Pre-Order Bonuses: Console players will have access to all Season 1 rewards and pre-order bonuses.
* Hero-Based Shooter Action: Experience fast-paced, strategic gameplay with unique heroes and card-based modifications.
NetEase, the game’s publisher, explained the initial console delay was due to optimization and adaptation challenges. The development team prioritized resolving these issues to ensure a polished and complete experience for console players. The PC version has already achieved considerable success, reaching over 100,000 concurrent players.
While FragPunk boasts a wealth of content, its microtransaction system has faced some criticism. The game includes multiple currencies and subscription models, which has caused confusion among some players. This is a common revenue model for free-to-play games.
The developers are committed to continuously updating FragPunk with new game modes, characters, and content. With the launch of the console version on April 29th, a whole new wave of players will be able to jump into the action! Get ready to Frag!
