Press release:
The Denver-based (Colorado, the US) indie games publisher Ziggurat Interactive and Dallas-based (Texas, the US) indie games developer Sickhead Games, today announced with great happiness and thrill that their first-person fire and rescue action game “Real Heroes Firefighter HD“, is now available for Xbox consoles (Xbox Series X/S and the Xbox One) via the Microsoft Store.
Updated to feature full 4K resolution for the first time, players and their virtual team of fearless firefighters must suit up for battle against one of the most dangerous foes: fire! Battle towering infernos from a first-person perspective as you rescue civilians and investigate the cause of each fire.
It’s time to put on a fresh pair of turnout pants, grab a Halligan, and jump in the ladder truck to rush to the front lines! Real Heroes: Firefighter HD is a first-person fire and rescue action game where players take on the heroic role of a real firefighter. As a newly graduated cadet starting out at a fire station in Los Angeles, the game’s hero must learn the tools of the trade, battle massive fires, and rescue citizens from deadly infernos.
“Real Heroes: Firefighter has a passionate and engaged fanbase across so many channels,” said Michael Devine, SVP of Business Development of Ziggurat Interactive.
“We’re happy to add it to our Xbox family of games and are dedicated to continuing to improve and expand upon this fun and unique gaming experience.”

Realistic fire technology creates an incredible adversary that feels “alive” and dangerous
Up to 4k resolution — a first for the game!
A career mode featuring more than nine levels and locations
Real-life firefighting tools, including hoses, axes, power saws, Halligans, and more
