FBC: Firebreak is due to launch in less than a week from the time of this writing, and ahead of that launch, developer Remedy Entertainment has announced the two major free updates that'll be coming to the game in its post-launch roadmap.
The first major update, codenamed "Outbreak" is due out sometime in Fall 2025, and will add new gameplay systems and mechanics, new free rewards for players to earn, a new job site called "Research Sector," and a host of cosmetics in a classified requisition, which players will have to pay for.
The second major update is codenamed "Blackout," and it'll also include a new job site, though Remedy is not yet sharing what it'll be called. New enemies and equipment will be added, along with new rewards for players to earn, and another paid classified requisition batch of new cosmetics.

Besides the paid cosmetics, Remedy stipulates that "All playable post launch content in the game is free," so there's no need to be concerned that you'd miss out on any major expansions if you end up loving Firebreak, but don't have the money to spend on extra DLC when their launch comes around.
Even if you can't spare the cash to grab Firebreak at launch next week, it'll be available through both Xbox Game Pass and PS Plus Extra, as Remedy is trying to give players as many options as possible to try out Firebreak for themselves.
Wccftech's Alessio Palumbo got to try out Firebreak just last month ahead of the game's crossplay functionality test, and found that, while a multiplayer game is far from the kind of project we're used to seeing from Remedy, "there is enough Remedy magic to possible make it interesting even in the sea of competitors, although its long-term longevity will have to be tested with the full release to say for sure."
