Remedy is trying to fix FBC: Firebreak in response to middling reviews and player feedback
Remedy has shared its plans to improve FBC: Firebreak, the new multiplayer Control spinoff, following a string of less-than-stellar reviews that criticized the game's rough early hours. FBC: Firebreak was announced in October 2024 as the first online multiplayer game from Remedy, and another pitstop on the way to an eventual Control 2 . The full patch notes for Remedy's first update are available to view on Steam, but in brief, the biggest change the developer is making is to how missions are unlocked. Previously, Firebreak required players to play a simpler, shorter version of the game's missions (like dealing with multiplying post-it notes or pink goo, for example), before a more complex version of the mission became available. Now those full-fat missions are available from the start, and completing one unlocks the next type. Remedy's update also rebalances the cost of cosmetics and makes it easier to see and find in-game collectibles, among other tweaks. The developer is planning to make larger changes to how FBC: Firebreak explains the synergies of in-game weapons and abilities, but those onboarding improvements will take longer to implement. Future updates adding new missions and cosmetics where already planned for the game, so fixes will presumably be worked into the existing roadmap. We enjoyed our hands-on time with FBC: Firebreak , but reviewers report a less rosy picture after playing the game over a longer period of time. Eurogamer found Firebreak charming in Remedy's typical oddball way, but also inconsistent in terms of difficulty. GameSpot noted similar messiness in the game's mission design, and also the general lack of explanation for weapons and abilities. The more damning and existential problem highlighted by TechRadar is the dearth of story in the game, something that Control generally excelled at. Remedy doesn't appear to have a plan to address any perceived narrative shortcomings in FBC: Firebreak , and since it's a multiplayer game, the company may just have different goals. FBC: Firebreak is available now for $40 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. If you pay for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or PlayStation Plus Game Catalog, you can play the game at no additional cost.

Tandem Diabetes Care Announces t:slim X2 ™ Insulin Pump Compatibility with Abbott's FreeStyle Libre® 3 Plus Sensor in the United States
SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Tandem Diabetes Care, Inc. (NASDAQ: TNDM), a leading insulin delivery and diabetes technology company today announced the Tandem t:slim X2™ insulin pump with Control-IQ+ automated insulin delivery (AID) technology now works with Abbott's FreeStyle Libre® 3 Plus continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor. The Company has initiated an early access program in the United States (U.S.), and intends to scale availability in the second half of 2025. 'This is an exciting first step in our strategy to connect Tandem's portfolio of insulin pumps to Abbott's FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensors worldwide.' - John Sheridan, president and chief executive officer of Tandem Diabetes Care. 'Diabetes management is not one-size-fits-all and it is critical for people living with diabetes to be able to personalize their AID systems to fit their unique healthcare and lifestyle needs,' said Dr. Jordan Pinsker, chief medical officer of Tandem Diabetes Care. 'The American Diabetes Association recommends AID systems as the preferred insulin delivery method in people with type 1 and other types of insulin-deficient diabetes, and this integration with Abbott's latest generation sensor allows even more CGM users to access the life-changing benefits of our Control-IQ+ technology.' The FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensor has an extended 15-day wear time, transmitting automatic glucose readings every minute directly to the pump. This data is also available to view on the Tandem t:slim mobile app, providing users with multiple, convenient ways to access their current glucose trend. The t:slim X2 insulin pump is powered by Control-IQ+ technology, the latest generation of Tandem's advanced hybrid closed-loop algorithm, which adjusts insulin every 5 minutes based on predicted glucose values. It's the only system with the unique AutoBolus™ feature that calculates and delivers a correction bolus to help with missed meal boluses.* Control-IQ+ is easy to start, use, and personalize, and this latest integration works with the FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensor and extends its benefits to even more people with diabetes. 'This is an exciting first step in our strategy to connect Tandem's portfolio of insulin pumps to Abbott's FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus sensors worldwide,' said John Sheridan, president and chief executive officer of Tandem Diabetes Care. 'We look forward to expanding access to our t:slim X2 users outside of the U.S. beginning later this year.' When available, Tandem will email eligible users in the U.S. with more information.† About Tandem Diabetes Care Tandem Diabetes Care, a global insulin delivery and diabetes technology company, manufactures and sells advanced automated insulin delivery systems that reduce the burden of diabetes management, while creating new possibilities for patients, their loved ones, and healthcare providers.
