Surprise News: FragPunk’s Console Launch Delayed!
Get ready for a twist, gamers! NetEase just announced that they’re pushing back the console release of FragPunk, a super-exciting 5v5 hero shooter that everyone’s been waiting for. This sudden change happened just one day before the game was supposed to hit Xbox and PlayStation stores. But don’t worry, PC players! Your version is still on track for March 6, 2025[1][2]. This little setback shows how tough it can be to make games work perfectly on all kinds of platforms.
Why the Wait?
The delay is because of some unexpected tech issues that cropped up during tests to make sure the game works well on consoles. The team’s been struggling with making the game run smoothly and look great on consoles[1][3]. Instead of rushing out a game that might not be as good as it should be, NetEase decided to take some more time to make sure the console version is just as awesome as the PC one[2][4].
What Does This Mean for Players?
The delay isn’t just about the launch date; it also affects pre-orders. All pre-orders for the console versions will be canceled, but don’t worry, you’ll get your money back[1][5]. Plus, NetEase is giving console players some cool stuff to make up for the wait. You’ll get to keep all the rewards you’ve earned from playing the game from the start of Season 1 until the console version comes out. These rewards include in-game money, fancy outfits for your heroes, and experience points to help you level up[2][4]. And if you pre-ordered the game, you’ll also get $10 worth of in-game currency when the console versions finally launch[1][5].
What’s Next?
NetEase hasn’t said when the console versions will come out yet, but they’re working hard with Xbox and PlayStation to make sure the game is perfect when it does. And when it does launch, the original pre-order bundle will be available again for a limited time[1][4]. This shows that NetEase really cares about their players and wants to give them the best gaming experience possible.
Looking Ahead: A Better Game for Everyone
Even though the console delay might be disappointing, it shows that NetEase really wants to make sure FragPunk is a great game. By taking the time to make sure the console version is as good as the PC one, they’re showing that they care about quality and want to make their players happy. While we wait for the console versions, the PC launch will give us a chance to see how well the game’s unique card mechanics work[5].
