    When I first found out about Firefighting Simulator-The Squad, I was upset that it was only playable on PC. I wished that it was playable on Xbox and PlayStation as well as PC, since it was not fair on them.

    Finally, after years of waiting patiently and praying for it to happen, it came true!


    Description

    Fire alert incoming! With Firefighting Simulator-The Squad, you can become part of a major US city's firefighting team and experience how it feels to fight fires. Start the siren of your fire truck, grab your hose, and fight realistic fires to save lives. Discover over 30 diverse deployment locations spread across the city inspired by the North American West Coast. Equip yourself with authentic firefighting gear such as helmets, firefighter boots, and a breathing apparatus model by well-known North American firefighting equipment manufacturers. Whether in the industrial area, the suburbs, or downtown: Your city needs you!

    Features:
    Multiplayer co-op mode, where you can play with up to three friends and take on whichever role suits you most. Assign tasks to your team or jump into the action yourself. Together with your squad you can be the firefighting heroes of your city and save the lives of your neighbours.

    Single player mode, where you can become the leader of an experienced firefighting team. Guide your squad to success in your missions and extinguish as many fires as possible.

    Advanced fire simulation, including water, smoke, heat, back drafts, flashovers, grease fires, and a wide range of other causes of fires, such as electronics, chemicals, and explosions.

    Five licensed Rosenbauer America fire trucks, such as the TP3® Pumper, or the T-Rex® hydraulic platform.

    Authentic equipment by well-known US firefighting industry brands, such as Cairns®, MSA G1® SCBA, and HAIX®.

    A detailed 15k acres large US city with different districts, such as an industrial area, suburbs, and downtown.

    FCF01AD2-679A-444D-BD53-8875F5A0099C.jpeg Fernbus Simulator is also coming on consoles next year. Let’s hope for The Bus, Tram sim and Subway sim to come as well

    Sadly I don't have a next gen console so I won't be able to play fern bus. I'd really really like to though! :(

    It's definitely a fun game, i do personally prefer notruf 112 on PC if you wanted to check it out as it is more realistic (though very buggy). As a former console only player it's absolutely great to see more sims on console, considering they literally inspire kids to pursue their dreams. I can definitely recommend TheNorthernAlex on YouTube for all emergency services related games too! :)

    To be honest it’s a good thing this is current gen only and not old one as these games aren’t really well ported and I suffer some huge FPS drops or lagging on PS5 while playing Tourist Bus Simulator I can’t imagine on PS4… if you struggle to get a new console try though Amazon that’s how I got my XBX and with the PlayStation store website I got and invite to buy a PS5 ( be aware you can only buy one console at a time )

    Thanks! I'll look into it. I was planning on getting one in the new year so that's very useful to know

    Hopefully it will be on Gamepass for Xbox. Then it can be played on cloud gaming, even on an 8th Gen machine.

    Fernbus certainly looks interesting and can’t wait to try that out, will be nice to get away from the Bus Simulator series on consoles.

    I may also pickup the squad, I have been playing Police Simulator which recently dropped on PS5 and have been pleasantly surprised by it, it’s nice to see these titles dropping on current gen machines, this genre rarely surfaced on last gen and when they did they were quite disappointing due to the power limitations developers likely faced.

    I wish astragon had some sort of forum. I really want to suggest this fire engine as a DLC as it's my local one.

    It’s based on the US so no chance until they made a UK based Firefighting Simulator

    I didn't even know this was coming to console, fantastic news! I'm generally surprised there hasn't been more firefighter games in general, the last time I played one must of been nearly 20 years ago with Firefighter FD 18 on PS2 - that was one of my all time favourite games back then!

    I just played the game for 2 hours and it’s definitely worth any penny it’s very realistic and I didn’t encountered any bugs for the moment. There’s some visual inaccuracy like the speedometer not accurate but it’s not game breaking

    Have to say, I'm really enjoying Firefighting Simulator - The Squad, although the AI at times can be a bit frustrating. Nonetheless, glad more games likes this are coming to console.

    Yeah the AI can be dumb sometimes as some firefighters can be stuck but there’s nothing blocking them and I’m loosing time to get a bonus but overall it’s a great game I’m excited to get Fernbus soon

    I really hope I get a series X soon! I'm missing out on all these great games. Especially MFS and Fern Bus/Tourist Bus Simulator.
    If I don't get one for Christmas, then I think I'll buy one myself.

    Highly recommended, the Series X is fantastic and the amount of different simulators now available on console is brilliant!
    Yeah Firefighting Simulator is a brilliant game, now one of my favourites, although when you first play it can be a bit daunting as there's a lot to learn.

    I have to share the Xbox with my brother sadly and he wants to get Police Simulator Patrol Officers so I kinda compromised and we are buying that today. I have to say. I'm in love with Microsoft flight simulator! Very nice game. I've already bought some liveries (British Airways, Easy Jet, Ryanair, etc...). :)
