NetEase has announced a console release date for its stylish free-to-play multiplayer shooter, FragPunk.
Following a last-minute delay, the game will now launch on PS5 on 29th April 2025.
The announcement comes via a new trailer, combining gameplay clips with slick cinematics.
If you've not heard of it, FragPunk's core idea is a series of cards you can activate mid-match that apply all kinds of effects that bend the rules. There are over 100 of these, and with 10 players in the game's team-based rounds, that means a lot of potential chaos as everyone uses their cards.

On top of the card system, this is a hero shooter, with 12 unique characters with specialised abilities.
Gameplay is fast and twitchy, with a short TTK (time-to-kill) and rounds typically lasting less than three minutes each.
So, in a couple of weeks, you'll be able to hop into the action and check it out for yourself. The game features cross-play and cross-progression with the PC version, and console players will receive some in-game gifts by way of apology for the delay.

this game is already dying rapidly on pc. the ui is crap, the graphics are obtrusive & the gameplay is just a valorant wanna be (another game that has way less popularity on console).
i really enjoyed the beta a few months back def gonna jump in
After they teased another live service game for failing, I definitely have no interest in supporting this team.
Since Quake 3 Arena these shooters still feels and looks the same... It is fun for 2 days, but then...
So another character/hero shooter, but with a bit of LoL Arcane on the aesthetics?
I miss Quake arena and Unreal Tournament. There's no decent Scifi mutiplayer shooter imo.
I tried it but like The Finals it was just fine but nothing special.
Free to play? No thanks.

🤒🥺@z0d15g0d ...Quake 3 Arena and Unreal Tournament 2004 & UT III have never been bettered ! Oh the memories...

sorry I couldn't find a pink android cat emoji 😅
I gave it a few hours on PC. I think it fumbles its main hook in the card system by making it all too confusing and there’s way too many currencies. The overall gameplay is pretty good but it really needs to tighten the whole experience up if it’s going to remain relevant for more than a year.
Seems like a solid shooter that’s dragged down by too much micro transactions and too much live service *****. Seems like it’ll do better then Concord but doesn’t seem longed for this world.
