Firefighting Simulator - The Squad (PS5)

Overview

Firefighting Simulator – The Squad puts you at the heart of a major US city's emergency response team on PlayStation 5. Whether you're commanding an experienced crew in single-player or coordinating a four-person co-op squad with friends, every mission demands teamwork, quick thinking, and the right equipment. Published by astragon Entertainment GmbH and developed in partnership with Chronos Unterhaltungssoftware UG, this simulation title delivers one of the most realistic firefighting experiences available on PlayStation 5.

Explore a richly detailed, 15,000-acre US city inspired by the North American West Coast — from the industrial waterfront and suburban neighbourhoods to a bustling downtown core. With over 40 distinct deployment locations and a deeply modelled fire physics engine, no two callouts feel the same.
