Square Enix has announced that Foamstars, their foam party multiplayer shooter, is going free-to-play in October.
Launched in February as a PS Plus monthly game and PS4 and PS5 exclusive, before transitioning to being a moderately priced premium game in March. However, it seems that this hasn’t given the game a large enough community, pushing Square Enix to shift business models.

The price change will come into effect at 1AM UTC on 4th October, after which the game will be free-to-play.
