All they have to do is download the Friends Pass version, which is the full game with some limitations (shown as “Free Trial” version on console storefronts), and they can matchmake with the bought version of the game, as long as the person who bought the game invites their friends to play. This works across platforms. We are permanently lowering the price of the game to: Base Game $19.99 / €19.99 / £16.74  Deluxe Edition $29.99 / €29.99 / £26.74 On Steam, the game is also 20% off until the end of March.We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who has played, supported, and shared feedback on FBC: Firebreak.
