Reason behind the delay?

FragPunk’s official X account announced this recently where the team shared the bad news with its fans. “During the console compliance testing process, we hit unexpected technical hurdles in optimization and adaptation,” they explained.

It appears that rather than rushing and providing a game with bugs and poor optimization, they are sticking to delaying the game and improving the quality for the console players. This is a good decision taken by the team.

For now, they have not announced the official release date for the console. We will keep you guys updated with all the latest information.

Compensation for FragPunk console fans

The studio isn’t leaving fans with just the bad news as they have decided to compensate the console players:

• Season 1 Rewards: On day one, PS5 and Xbox players will receive all engagement bonuses, such as weapon skins and bundles, from the start of the PC Season 1 until the console launch.
• Pre-Order Perks: Cancelled pre-orders receive $10 in-game currency as a consolation award.

This delay, announced only two days before the debut, raises concerns, especially given that console marketing videos aired hours earlier. Whether there are technical issues, FragPunk will have its PC debut, and console players may expect a polished experience in the near future.
