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!

Start the siren of your fire truck, grab your hose, and fight realistic fires to save lives.

Yea, hopefully I'll get it for Christmas. If not then I'll buy it. It looks great and I always wanted to play a good firefighting game
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. Scania P270 Fire Engine
Wow but in real life the driver of this one has to hold a heavy goods vehicle to drive one since it's 10.2 metres long 12 tonnes 13 us tons
Okay... Doesn't really answer my question though. Does anyone know if there is any forums for Firefighting Sim the Squad or Police Sim Patrol Officers?
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
Yea, the only other one I saw on console was firefighting simulator HD wich looked awfull. I'm glad someone made a decent firefighting game!
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 got an Xbox Series X for Christmas!!!! I can get fern bus and tourist bus!!! And Figherfighting Sim will look amazing!!
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...).
