FragPunk Changes Up The Hero Shooter Formula
NetEase Games has announced that its 5v5 hero shooter, FragPunk, is now available on Game Pass. It marks the second title to be added to Game Pass from NetEase after Naraka: Bladepoint.
The game is already available to download in the Game Pass library, and it can also be played via Xbox Cloud Gaming.
Game Pass members are also getting access to the following exclusive benefits for the game:
- Instant Lancer Access: Unlock all currently available Lancers immediately – no grinding required to build your initial roster.
- Groovy Night Series Weapon Skin Bundle: Receive a premium bundle featuring five Extreme Tier Weapon Skin, each of them has unique Model Visual Effects, Kill Visual Effects, and Skin Animations to dominate in style.
- Future Lancer Unlocks: Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers get day-one access to unlock every new Lancer as soon as they are released into the game.
- Ongoing Extreme Tier Rewards: The exclusive Extreme Tier Skin Bundle available to subscribers will refresh every 4 months, offering a continual stream of high-value cosmetic content.
The console version of FragPunk certainly got off to a rocky start. The console version of the game was initially delayed just before launch, eventually launching in April 2025.
It has gone on, however, to hold a fairly solid player base, based on Steam data. The Steam reviews for the game are also quite positive.
Hopefully, it will increase its player base and continue to improve, especially with it now being part of the Game Pass subscription.
FragPunk is a new fast paced 5v5 hero based first person shooter featuring powerup cards that bend the rules of combat!
