ARMORED CORE VI FIRES OF RUBICON

Made-to-measure mechs

Developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, Armored Core VI Fires of Rubicon launched on 25 August 2023 on PC (Steam), PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. Players take on missions with a mech assembled from a wide range of parts and weapons, including fights against notoriously tough bosses.

What the press says

On PS5, Push Square (7/10) enjoys the satisfying combat, great mech customisation, some memorable boss fights and how well it runs on the console, but finds the mission structure frustrating at times, the environments extremely dull and the story forgettable. GamesRadar+ (4.5/5, PS5) praises exhilarating combat, engrossing customisation and a surprisingly affecting story, while noting a few extremely annoying missions and camera fussiness.

Editions and prices

Checked on 12 November 2026, with no sale running: the standard edition costs €59.99 on Steam and €69.99 on the PlayStation Store (PS4 and PS5 version) and the Xbox Store (Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One).

Who is it for?

Fans of demanding action games, boss fights and deep customisation. Players expecting a large Elden Ring-style open world will find a mission-based game instead.
