Square Enix has exciting news for fans of their vibrant 4v4 shooter game, Foamstars. The game, which has drawn comparisons to Splatoon 3, is set to transition to a free-to-play model this fall. Here's everything you need to know about the upcoming changes.

Foamstars, Square Enix's Answer to Splatoon 3, Becomes Free-to-Play in Less Than a Year Since Launch

In a recent update on their support page, Square Enix revealed that Foamstars will be available to play for free starting October 4, 2024, at 1:00 a.m. UTC. This significant shift means that players will no longer need a PlayStation Plus subscription to dive into the action-packed world of Foamstars. Previously priced at $29.99 for both PS4 and PS5, the game will now be accessible to a broader audience without any upfront cost.

To show appreciation for early adopters, Square Enix is offering a special Legacy Gift to players who purchased Foamstars before the switch to free-to-play. This exclusive in-game bundle includes:

  • 12 color-variant Bubble Beastie skins
  • 1 exclusive Slide Board design
  • 1 title: "Legacy"

Details on how to claim this Legacy Gift will be available soon on Square Enix's official website and their Twitter (X) account. Stay tuned for more information on this generous reward for loyal fans.
