Foamstars Becomes a Free-to-Play Game 

Square Enix announced that Foamstars, currently available on the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, will transition to a free-to-play model beginning on October 4, 2024. This price change marks a significant shift from the game’s previous regional pricing strategy and is designed to make the game accessible to a broader audience.

Notably, after the transition, players will no longer need a PlayStation Plus subscription to access the game. This means anyone will be able to download and play Foamstars for free.

For those who have already purchased and downloaded Foamstars before the switch, Square Enix is offering a “Legacy Gift.” This package includes 12 exclusive color-variant Bubble Beastie skins, an exclusive Slide Board design, and a special title called “Legacy.” 

Since its launch, Square Enix updated Foamstars with season passes and additional characters. For example, a new season will start on August 30, 2024. That will bring with it an additional playable character. Ahead of its launch, Square Enix shared a song that will show up alongside the update called “Golden Beats.” 

The price change is set to take effect on October 4, 2024. Square Enix advises players to confirm that the price has been updated before downloading the game, to ensure they receive it for free.

Foamstars is available for the PS4 and PS5.
