By the Way, Foamstars Is Now Free-to-Play on PS5, PS4 | Push Square
The gaming world seems to have forgotten, but Square Enix released Foamstars earlier this year on PS5 and PS4. This multiplayer shooter sadly didn't set the world on fire, but the upshot is that it's now completely free-to-play.
As of 3rd October 2024, Foamstars costs nothing, and as with all free-to-play games, you don't need a PS Plus subscription to play it, meaning everyone can hop in.
To recap, then: Foamstars is a team-based shooter set against the backdrop of a never-ending glitzy foam party. Your weapons fire foam, which not only damages opponents, it builds up in the arena as a match goes on, creating dynamically-changing obstacles, cover, and danger zones.
Each character has their own weapons and special abilities, and game modes include twists on what you'd expect. As well as the competitive modes, there are single player and co-op missions to check out.
The game was met with a pretty muted critical reception (though we think it's pretty fun) but perhaps its free-to-play chapter will give it a second chance at finding an audience.

Still no fun shooter multiplayer out there that comes even close to Knockout City
