Remedy has issued a profit warning to investors due to “weak sales” of its co-op title FBC: Firebreak.
The developer has lowered its long-term sales forecast for the game, and has recognised a non-cash impairment of €14.9 million.
This represents “a majority” of Firebreak’s “capitalised development costs, allocated purchased publishing, and distribution rights.”
Remedy has adjusted its 2025 outlook as a result. The firm previously expected both its revenue and operating profit to increase from the previous year.
It now expects to see a decrease in its operating profit due to Firebreak having not met the developer’s “internal targets.”
This is despite implementing multiple updates since the game’s launch, including a major update in September titled Breakpoint that included new content, overhauled systems, and overall improvements.
“Remedy is recognising a non-cash impairment of capitalised development costs and allocated purchased publishing and distribution rights related to FBC: Firebreak,” said Remedy CEO Tero Virtala.
“While we balance future investments to the title, we continue developing and improving the game in line with our updated long-term sales forecast.”
Virtala also commented on Firebreak’s “rocky launch” during Remedy’s financial results for the first half of 2025.
The developer was “unsatisfied” with consumer sales post-launch. It also recognised that the game “underperformed” on Steam despite it being “planned as the primary consumer sales channel on PC.”
Remedy communications director Thomas Puha also said the developer had “hoped for a better launch” but was optimistic about the game’s post-launch roadmap.
