Summary

FragPunk finally launches on Xbox and PlayStation on April 29 after technical delays.
Console players will receive compensation and all player engagement rewards from Season 1.
Developers plan to continue updating FragPunk with new content and support cross-progression.

After a delay from the original date, FragPunk is finally ready to launch on PlayStation and Xbox consoles later this month. Even without console versions to help, the PC launch of FragPunk managed to get off to a very strong start with over 100,000 concurrent players.

Fans of the highly anticipated shooter got some bad news prior to the game’s launch as NetEase announced that the console versions of FragPunk were being delayed. Unfortunately, technical issues with the optimization and adaptation process were discovered during the compliance tests, and not wanting to release a subpar product, the decision was made to just delay it and only launch the PC version. Thankfully, the wait is finally coming to an end as the console version is now right around the corner.

All Currencies in FragPunk, Explained

Keeping track of FragPunk’s numerous currencies can be pretty overwhelming. Luckily, this guide is here to help players out.

In a stylish new trailer, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S players can finally check out FragPunk when it launches on April 29. Overall, FragPunk will finally launch on consoles just under 2 months since the PC version dropped. While being away from a live service game would normally mean players miss out on a lot of content, that won’t be the case here. FragPunk previously revealed compensation plans for players, eventually making pre-order bonuses available and $10 in currency for those who did preorder. In addition, console players will also be getting all player engagement rewards earned during FragPunk‘s first season.

FragPunk PS5 and Xbox Series X Release Date

April 29, 2025 for Xbox Series X/S and PS5

It’s clear that Bad Guitar and NetEase have long-term plans for FragPunk, with the hope that the game can continue to evolve with new content over time. New updates have been released for FragPunk since it launched, but the developer plans to continue adding new content like game modes, Lancers, and cards to keep gameplay feeling fresh. Season 1 offers some casual style modes, including an infection-style mode called Outbreak. Better yet, players who want to switch platforms can do so as cross-progression and cross-play will be supported.

Even with all of the launch excitement on PC, it hasn’t all been smooth sailing. Players were initially frustrated by FragPunk‘s heavy reliance on microtransactions, which not only feature cosmetics, but launched with 9 different currencies as well as two different subscription and membership systems. While this style of monetization is common for free-to-play titles as a way to generate profit, players have felt FragPunk takes this too far with the amount of premium content being offered.
