Bad Guitar Studio’s free-to-play competitive shooter FragPunk is out today for PC. However, it’s been delayed for Xbox Series X/S and PS5 to an unknown date.
The developer confirmed this is due to “unexpected technical challenges in optimization and adaptation.” Instead of “rushing the console release” and providing a “potentially poor user experience,” it’s delaying the console versions to ensure a “comparable experience” to the PC version.
On the bright side, the developer has prepared extensive compensation. Players who pre-ordered the Pioneer Bundle on the PlayStation Store and Xbox Store will receive refunds alongside $10 worth of free in-game currency. Though a new pre-order isn’t planned, the bundle will become available again for a limited time after the console versions launch.
If that’s not enough, console players will receive all rewards earned in-game spanning the start of Season 1 until the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions go live. This includes currency, cosmetics and XP, with more details to be revealed later.
Check out our impressions of the closed beta for more details on FragPunk. It’s launching with even more cards, maps, and playable Lancers, so stay tuned for updates.
