FixForce introduces a unique co-op experience where players navigate a post-apocalyptic world, solving movement puzzles, repairing machines, and racing against time to return to their repair van. The game’s chaotic multiplayer dynamics draw inspiration from titles like Peak and Lethal Company, while its environmental challenges echo classic physics-based games such as Portal and Ratchet & Clank.
The title’s minimum system requirements reflect its design philosophy—simple yet performance-conscious. Players will need a Ryzen 5 2600 or Intel Core i7-6700K paired with either an 8 GB Radeon RX 580, a GeForce GTX 1060, or the newer Intel Arc A580 to run FixForce smoothly. This setup ensures accessibility without compromising on gameplay fluidity.
FixForce supports up to six players in co-op, emphasizing teamwork and shared objectives. The game’s core loop involves fixing broken machines using scavenged parts while avoiding rogue bots or environmental hazards like water. If a player takes fatal damage, their character’s head can be retrieved by teammates and reattached to a new body, allowing the mission to continue—a mechanic that adds both humor and strategic depth.

Originally planned under Pocketpair Publishing, FixForce will launch on Steam and Epic Games Store in early access on March 12. The game represents a shift for Surgent Studios, moving away from its previous focus on abuse and grief mechanics toward a more lighthearted, cooperative experience.
For PC builders, FixForce offers an opportunity to balance performance and cost effectively. The specified hardware ensures compatibility with modern titles while maintaining affordability, making it an attractive option for those looking to upgrade without breaking the bank.
