FragPunk Console Launch Delayed Indefinitely Due to Technical Issues

NetEase's hero shooter will still launch on PC as scheduled, with compensation offered to console players affected by the delay.

  • FragPunk, developed by NetEase-owned Bad Guitar Studio, has postponed its PS5 and Xbox Series X/S release indefinitely due to technical challenges in console compliance testing.
  • The PC version of the game remains on track for its March 6 release, offering players its signature 5v5 hero shooter gameplay and customizable Shard Cards.
  • NetEase cited the need to optimize and polish the console versions to ensure a comparable experience to the PC release, prioritizing quality over a rushed launch.
  • Console pre-orders have been canceled, with automatic refunds initiated, while affected players will receive $10 in in-game currency and access to engagement rewards earned during Season 1 upon the console launch.
  • The developer is collaborating with Xbox and PlayStation teams to resolve the issues and has committed to providing updates on the console release timeline.
