Square Enix has officially declared that Foamstars, their dynamic 4v4 shooter, will be free to play starting October 4, 2024, at 1:00 a.m. UTC. This exciting shift means that players will no longer need a PlayStation Plus subscription to enjoy the game.

In a gesture of appreciation, Square Enix is offering a special Legacy Gift to those who purchased Foamstars before the transition. This exclusive in-game bundle includes:

  • 12 color-variant Bubble Beastie skins
  • 1 exclusive Slide Board design
  • 1 title: "Legacy"

Stay tuned for more information on how to claim your Legacy Gift, which will be detailed on Square Enix's official website and Twitter (X) account in the coming days.
