Fragpunk Release Delay: Whats the Hold-Up?

The console release of the highly anticipated first-person shooter FragPunk has been delayed due to "unexpected technical challenges" encountered during compliance testing. Originally scheduled for a March 6, 2025, launch across PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S, only the PC version was released on time. The developers, Bad Guitar Studio, stated that they chose to delay the console versions to ensure a polished and comparable experience for players rather than rushing out a subpar product.

Key Details:

• Reason for Delay: Technical challenges in optimization and adaptation during compliance testing.
• Compensation for Players:
  • Console players will receive all rewards earned through engagement during Season 1 until the console versions go live. This includes cosmetics, in-game currency, and experience points.
  • Pre-orders have been canceled and refunded. Additionally, players who pre-ordered will receive $10 worth of in-game currency and access to the pre-order bundle when the console version is eventually released.
• New Release Date: No specific date has been announced yet, but speculation suggests the delay might last a few weeks.

Despite the setback for console players, FragPunk debuted successfully on PC and continues to generate interest with its unique gameplay mechanics, including card-based match-altering effects.
