Astragon Entertainment is quickly building a reputation as one of the most reliable publishers of sim games.
Bus Simulator 21 improved on the original in every way, Construction Sim (2022) has exceeded expectations across the board, and Police SImulator: Patrol Officers (releasing on the 10th of November on Xbox) has an impressive 86% very positive reviews from its time in early access on Steam.

But if that isn’t enough heat for you, Firefighting Simulator: The Squad is coming to Xbox, due for digital release on the 6th of December, and pre-orders are available now for only £24.99 (29.99 usd/eur).
There’s also be a physical release, expected early 2023.

Released back in November 2020, Firefighting Simulator: The Squad is widely regarded as the best Firefighting Simulator on PC, with over 80% of reviews “very positive” on steam.
While we’ve seen a few mediocre attempts at fighting fires on Xbox, Firefighting Simulator: The Squad promises to be the best of the bunch.

here’s the official lowdown

Firefighting Simulator – The Squad
In exciting missions, the team members will proceed to action with authentic firefighter equipment and a selection of 5 officially licensed firefighting vehicles by Rosenbauer America – such as the TP3 Pumper® and the T-Rex® Articulating Platform – to extinguish fires and save people from the flames. While single players take control of their AI-controlled colleagues with the help of the intuitive command interface in order to give them instructions on how to proceed, in cooperative multiplayer mode up to four players can take action together as a team to prove their team spirit and skills in the field of firefighting. Thanks to the advanced fire simulation – including water, smoke, heat, backdrafts, flashovers, grease fires as well as a number of other causes of fire such as electronics, chemicals and explosions – the firefighter team will have to face hard to calculate fire situations and dangers. Next to this, players can look forward to a complex physics system for the representation of destruction within dynamically spreading fire situations.

Features:

  • Multiplayer with up to 4 players
  • Authentic firefighter equipment by well-known manufacturers – e.g. Cairns®, MSA G1® SCBA, Leatherhead Tools® and HAIX®.
  • Officially licensed firefighting vehicles by Rosenbauer America
  • Comprehensive training which introduces players to the basics
  • Advanced fire simulation & physics system
