Evaluation

FIRE STATE entered Steam Early Access on August 7, 2026 — a solo-developed tactical FPS featuring a bodycam-style perspective and real-time 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) rendering technology. The developer has been consistently active since launch, shipping multiple updates. The most significant is the "Rebirth" update, released on October 3, 2026, which the developer describes as the biggest overhaul since launch — a full rebuild of the UI, weapons, character animations, and controls. However, the developer is clear that Rebirth is still a preview release and that further work and polish remain. Earlier, on August 30, 2026, the developer teased a new trench warfare map called "Frontline," which was described as only halfway complete at the time. This map has not been confirmed as shipped, meaning it remains outstanding content. Additionally, the August 7, 2026 launch post named a PVE mode as a planned addition; this has not been mentioned as delivered in any subsequent update. The developer continues to describe the game as a work in progress, and their communication cadence has been frequent and consistent throughout Early Access. With announced content still undelivered and the Rebirth update itself described as a preview with more polish to come, the game is clearly mid-development cycle.
Evidence
The 'Rebirth' major overhaul is released, rebuilding the UI, weapons, animations, and controls. Developer explicitly states this is a preview and that 'there is still plenty of content and detail that needs further work and polish.'

About this game


The game has now been reworked. The promotional images and text on the store page have not yet been updated.

Overview:

FIRE STATE is a tactical shooter played from a realistic bodycam-style perspective. We aim to strike a careful balance between intense realism and fluid playability, delivering an adrenaline-charged battlefield experience while ensuring that every action feels precise and responsive. Prepare to enter dangerous operational zones, where your body camera will capture every critical moment.

In-Depth Overview:

Experience tense, high-intensity confrontations through a deeply immersive first-person body camera perspective. We know that pure realism can sometimes come at the cost of accessible controls. That is why, alongside carefully crafting visual fidelity, physical feedback, and environmental audio, our development team has devoted substantial effort to optimizing the controls and player interface. The result delivers the impact of a realistic battlefield while letting you carry out every tactical intention smoothly and confidently.

FIRE STATE does more than recreate and refine the traditional shooter experience. Its competitive modes are built for players who value marksmanship, tactical judgment, and intense head-to-head action.

Key Features:

  • The world's first FPS game rendered with 3DGS: Through our efforts, 3DGS is no longer just a technical demo video on the internet—it has truly made its way into a game. In our game, you will experience world-leading real-time 3DGS rendering technology. If you want to experience this technology, your search ends here.

  • Highly immersive realistic bodycam-style perspective: Presented through distinctive recorder footage, camera movement and a restricted field of view create authentic pressure and unprecedented tactical depth.

  • Top-tier visuals: Drawing on extensive technical experience and deep optimization for Unreal Engine 5, we deliver industry-leading visual quality. An RTX 3060-class graphics card can maintain smooth performance at maximum graphics settings.

  • A refined balance of realism and playability: Realistic elements such as environmental interaction, ballistic trajectories, and powerful audio are paired with carefully tuned controls, creating a smooth and intuitive experience where hardcore simulation and satisfying gunplay are no longer mutually exclusive.

  • Classic competitive modes: Take on time-tested traditional PVP modes, including Team Deathmatch, Zone Control, and Demolition, and use your marksmanship and tactical judgment to outplay your opponents.

Whether you are a tactical expert seeking an authentic battlefield or a competitive player ready to test your skills against other players, FIRE STATE delivers a one-of-a-kind experience worth recording. Are you ready to switch on your camera and define your own battlefield legend?
