Foamstars To Launch Exclusively On PlayStation In February
Square Enix has made the decision to launch Foamstars exclusively on PlayStation next month, and will be on PlayStation Plus.
Article Summary
- Square Enix's Foamstars hits PS4/PS5 exclusively with a PS+ debut in February.
- Free download for PS+ members from Feb 6 to Mar 4; challenges traditional sales.
- Foamstars offers PvP/PvE modes with colorful characters, customization, and rewards.

Square Enix has made an interesting choice with Foamstars as the game will launch exclusively for PS4 and PS5 and will also be a part of PlayStation Plus. From February 6 until March 4, players who happen to have a PS+ account will be able to download the game at no extra cost to their account, being one of the few titles to launch for consoles and appear in that system at the same time. Considering the way that subscription service operates, and the fact it's not coming to other consoles anytime soon, it seems counter-productive for the game to get any real sales out the gate. We'll see how that decision plays out in the longrun.
Foamstars
Foamstars is a vibrant, over-the-top shooter, that is accessible to players of all skill levels. It combines the fun of partying with the thrill of combat, where players blast through matches using foam to attack, build, and defend. Taking control of a quirky and colorful ensemble of athletes, players are dropped into the eccentric city of Bath Vegas to compete in FoamSmash. Created as a casual yet competitive experience for everyone, Foamstars features a combination of PvP and PvE modes for up to eight players, either as four vs. four, solo, or co-op as a Squad with three teammates. Each Season Pass challenges players to progress through tiers, which is achieved by earning XP from PvP battling, completing Missions, or completing Challenges. With each tier unlocked, players are rewarded with items to enhance the Foamstars experience. All players will get access to new characters, modes, and maps to ensure they are always part of the Foamstars' party. Those who purchase the Premium Season Pass will immediately unlock Season Pass characters, as well as earn additional season-specific cosmetics.
At launch, there will be three PvP game modes, Foamstar and Squad PvE Missions, and a range of Anytime, Limited-Time, and Weekly Challenges. Six characters are immediately available. Mel T is unlockable as a season pass achievement, while The Baristador is unlockable as an Anytime Challenge reward. Every character will have extensive customization options, from Character Skins to Digital Stickers, to Slide Boards and Foam Gun Skins. Players can even decorate the lobby with furnishings to reflect their Foamstars style. The new game mode unveiled today, Rubber Duck Party, is a foam party like no other. Teams must race to the center of the stage and fight for possession of the rubber duck. Climbing aboard will advance the duck towards the opposition's goal to win the match. Additionally, players can dance on top of the rubber duck for a burst of movement.
Foamstar and Squad Missions are solo and co-op PvE gameplay modes where players must protect Bath Vegas from an onslaught of Bubble Beasties in a series of randomized wave attacks. In Squad Missions, players will be able to strengthen the Foamstars through upgrades received upon clearing a wave. Additionally, players can clear challenges and gain additional experience to progress faster through the Season Pass by playing Missions.
