Why was the FragPunk console release delayed at the last minute?
Even though FragPunk was all set for a global launch on PC and consoles, things took a turn just two days before its release. We're here to explain the reasoning behind the FragPunk console delay and what to expect for pre-orders. FragPunk console release delay, explained According to the FragPunk team's announcement, the console release was delayed due to 'unexpected technical challenges in optimization and adaptation.' The issue became noticeable during a compliance testing process, ultimately leading to the delay. So, to guarantee a better user-friendly experience, the team needs a bit more time to work out the console's kinks.

Because of this change, compensations for Xbox and PlayStation players will start to roll out. In particular, Season 1 rewards and any other future content will be available to these specific users once the console release drops. This includes cosmetics, currency, and experience points. Cancellations are in effect for those who pre-ordered FragPunk on consoles, where they will automatically receive a refund. You'll get an additional $10 in in-game currency to compensate for this cancellation. Pre-order bonuses, like the FragPunk Pioneer Pack Plus, will now be accessible in a 'time-limited way' just after the console launch. Initially, Pioneer Pack Plus was supposed to be permanently removed from the store, but this has changed with the delay. This bundle would have rewarded players with platform-exclusive content, such as weapon skins, stickers, and charms. Although console players won't have access to Fragpunk, the game will still be released on PC on March 6. During this time, the team continues to work on the Xbox and PlayStation performance to hopefully launch the game sooner rather than later.
