FragPunk is an engaging hero shooter that offers a fresh twist: players can enhance their characters through power-up cards.
The game has recently launched for PC, generating interest among console gamers who are eager to find out if this unique five-on-five FPS will be available on their systems. While titles on Steam have been met with enthusiasm from players, those on platforms like PS5 and Xbox Series X|S are left wondering when they’ll get their turn. But will they have to wait much longer?
Here’s what we know regarding FragPunk and its console launch.
Is FragPunk coming to console?
Yes, FragPunk is set to be released on consoles on April 29 at 9 PM CT, as confirmed in an official announcement by Bad Guitar Studio. The upcoming console release follows the game’s PC debut on March 6. This launch is anticipated to invigorate player engagement, especially as the title’s Steam player base has seen a significant drop—from a peak of over 113,000 players to around 12,000 concurrent players.
The console edition will include crossplay and cross-progression features with PC players, enabling seamless gameplay across different platforms. To enhance competitiveness, console users will also benefit from “enhanced aim assist,” leveling the playing field for those using controllers versus mouse and keyboard setups.
In addition, Bad Guitar Studio is incentivizing new console players with various rewards, including exclusive and time-limited event bonuses available at the start of season one and lasting until the console launch on April 29. Players who secure the Pioneer Bundle will receive extra rewards as well.
For those with access to a PC, FragPunk offers full controller support for both PlayStation and Xbox devices. This integration promises an enjoyable experience on consoles, suggesting that players can expect a fluid transition once the title lands on their preferred platform.
Is FragPunk coming to PS5?
Indeed, FragPunk will be available on the PS5. For those looking to keep track of its status, you can add the game to your wishlist on the PlayStation Store.
Is FragPunk coming to Xbox?
Yes, the Xbox Series X|S will also host FragPunk. Players can add it to their wishlist on the Microsoft Store as they await its release.
Is FragPunk coming to Nintendo Switch 2?
The potential release of FragPunk on the Nintendo Switch remains uncertain, and Bad Guitar Studio has yet to provide any updates regarding this platform. Given the enhanced capabilities of the new Joy-Cons and their mouse-like precision, there is potential for a Switch version, although no official announcements have been made.
It’s essential to note that since FragPunk has not launched on older platforms like the PS4 or Xbox One, currently seen as equivalent to the forthcoming Nintendo Switch 2, it seems unlikely the game will be available on this new handheld console.
