Exclusive: Fragpunk Console Launch Delay Revealed!

The console release of FragPunk, a free-to-play hero-based first-person shooter, has been delayed indefinitely due to unexpected technical challenges. Originally scheduled for a simultaneous launch on March 6, 2025, across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, the delay affects only the console versions. Here are the key details:

• Reason for Delay: Developer Bad Guitar Studio cited "unexpected technical challenges" during compliance testing for optimization and adaptation. They emphasized the need to ensure a comparable experience to PC players rather than rushing the console release.
• Compensation for Players: Console players will receive all rewards earned through in-game engagement from Season 1 until the console version launches. Pre-orders have been refunded, and affected players will also receive $10 worth of in-game currency and access to exclusive pre-order cosmetics when the console version eventually releases.
• No New Release Date: As of now, no specific timeline has been provided for the console launch. The developers are working closely with PlayStation and Xbox teams to resolve the issues.

The PC version launched as planned on March 6, 2025. Console players are advised to stay tuned for updates from the developers.
