FragPunk’s console release delayed

The fast-paced 5v5 hero shooter developed by Bad Guitar Studio Fragpunk, was originally set for a simultaneous release across PC, Xbox, and PlayStation on March 6, 2025. However, due to unexpected technical challenges, the console versions have been delayed, while the PC version launched as planned.

When will FragPunk release on consoles?

Bad Guitar Studio and NetEase have assured fans that they are actively working to resolve the technical issues affecting the console versions. According to their latest update, the developers are targeting a launch within the next two months, meaning Fragpunk should arrive on PlayStation and Xbox before May 6, 2025. While an exact date has not been confirmed, players can expect further updates in the coming weeks.

To address disappointment among console players, Bad Guitar Studio has announced a compensation package. Players who join after the delayed launch will receive all the in-game rewards, cosmetics, currency, and XP they would have earned between March 6 and the actual console release. This move ensures that console players won’t feel left behind when they finally get access to the game.

Fragpunk’s early PC success

Despite the console delay, Fragpunk’s PC launch has been met with excitement. The game introduces a fresh take on the hero shooter genre with its Shard Cards, which are game-altering modifiers that dynamically change match rules. At launch, the game features over 150 Shard Cards, ensuring an evolving tactical experience.

The PC version has also seen strong player engagement, with a peak of over 100,000 concurrent players on Steam shortly after release. These numbers highlight the game’s potential in the hero shooter market, standing as a new contender alongside titles like Valorant and Overwatch.

One of Fragpunk’s most exciting features is its full crossplay support, allowing players on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox to team up or compete against each other seamlessly. This ensures a unified player base and a strong multiplayer ecosystem once the console versions launch.
