Announced in early 2023, Foamstars is an upcoming third-person shooter by Square Enix. Drawing comparisons to Splatoon and Fortnite, Foamstars is a four-vs-four party game where players use foam to attack, defend, and build.

With a colorful cast of eight characters with unique abilities and three different game modes (so far), it will likely please gamers who enjoy shooters but prefer a lighter experience.

An open beta test was available in September 2023, inviting players to experience firsthand what the developers have been working on. But many players might be wondering whether there’s a set release date for the PlayStation exclusive yet. Thanks to developer Square Enix’s latest announcement trailer, there is.

When does Foamstars release?

Foamstars releases on Feb. 6, 2024, and is a global release, meaning the exact time will vary depending on your time zone. The exact time is 9am PT, 12pm ET, 5pm GMT, and 4am AET (Feb. 7). If you want a simpler breakdown, just follow our countdown below.

The information above is available and confirmed via the PlayStation Store page for the game. It is also the first title confirmed as a PS Plus Essential game for February 2024, replacing January’s lineup of A Plague Tale: Requiem (PS5), Evil West (PS4/PS5), and Nobody Saves The World (PS4/PS5).

If you want to jump right into Foamstars as soon as this PlayStation exclusive releases, make sure your PS Plus subscription is active in early February.
