10 Recent Video Games That Have Already Been Forgotten

10. FBC: Firebreak

FBC: Firebreak is yet another entry into the wildly overcrowded live service multiplayer shooter genre, though did at least have the halfway compelling hook of existing within the Control universe and being the first multiplayer game from Remedy Entertainment.

Yet it launched back in June with a rather muted marketing campaign that simply failed to distinguish it from other games in the multiplayer shooter space.

And so, it wasn't remotely surprising that FBC: Firebreak dipped below 100 concurrent players on Steam within three weeks of launch. 

While we can't ignore that the game also released as part of Xbox Game Pass and PlayStation Plus, allowing it to rack up over 1 million players within barely a week of release, the data suggests that just about everyone who tried the game ditched it in a short period of time.

It didn't help of course that reviews were wildly mixed, with many criticising the "boring" onboarding process, which didn't exactly entice players to keep going - especially those playing for "free" on the aforementioned subscription services.

As of early August FBC: Firebreak is down to just a few-dozen concurrents on Steam, making it clear that all but the die-hards tried it and then swiftly moved on.
