What is Firefighting Simulator – The Squad?

It’s a firefighting simulator. You join the fire department of a major US city inspired by the North American West Coast, drive licensed Rosenbauer America fire trucks such as the TP3 Pumper and the T-Rex hydraulic platform, and tackle fires at more than 30 locations. The fire simulation covers smoke, heat, backdrafts, flashovers and grease fires. On your own you lead an AI squad; in online co-op up to four players can split the roles.

Who makes it, and when did it come out on Xbox?

Chronos Unterhaltungssoftware develops it, and astragon Entertainment publishes it. It came out on Xbox on 6 December 2022, and it’s on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. You’ll find it on the Xbox Store.

Is Firefighting Simulator – The Squad leaving Game Pass?

It’s in the Leaving soon section of Game Pass in the Xbox app, and the Game Pass data on its Xbox Store listing ends its access on the morning of 16 November (UK time), so 15 November is the last full day to play. Until then it’s included with Game Pass Ultimate, Game Pass Premium and PC Game Pass. Xbox hadn’t announced this batch on Xbox Wire when we checked on 2 November 2026; TrueAchievements reports the same date.
