From Press Release:
Manchester, UK – May 30th, 2025 – Independent developer Digital Cybercherries is pleased to announce that their acclaimed indie shooter about sentient action figures, Hypercharge: Unboxed, is available now on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. The anticipated title, which has spent recent weeks among the top pre-ordered titles on PlayStation alongside the likes of Doom: The Dark Ages and Elden Ring Nightreign, features cross-platform support across its PC and Xbox brethren.
Inspired by films like Toy Story and Small Soldiers, Hypercharge: Unboxed is the first and third-person shooter action figure game you’ve always dreamed of! Grab your friends, complete objectives, defend the Hypercore against waves of weaponized toys and defeat Major Evil together in the story campaign. Hypercharge welcomes both parents and children into a vibrant world of action figures and toys. It’s a way for adults to remember the fun of their own childhoods and make new, happy memories with their children.
Hypercharge: Unboxed features a full story campaign mode, which can be played solo offline or with up to 4-players online in co-op. The game also supports split-screen play, both locally and online. This PlayStation release will feature cross-platform support for the PC and Xbox versions (with Switch support to follow), so you can play with your friends however you’d like. There are even bots available if you’d prefer to play with AI teammates or opponents.
If you’re feeling more competitive than collaborative, Hypercharge: Unboxed has got you covered too, as it features an array of PvP modes for brief bouts of action figure mayhem! Defend the Hypercore with your friends, survive waves of relentless hordes of weaponised toys, or enjoy a good old-fashioned free-for-all rumble!
“After announcing the release date of Hypercharge: Unboxed on PlayStation a month ago, it was surreal quickly finding our small indie title sandwiched between Doom: The Dark Ages and Elden Ring Nightreign in second place, said Joe Henson, Creative Gameplay and Marketing Director at Digital Cybercherries. “We can’t thank PlayStation fans enough for their support and we’re really excited that you can finally all get to play the game today!”
What critics are saying:
“Hypercharge: Unboxed is a joyful, colourful, and creative shooter that knows exactly what it is, and absolutely nails the execution. With its polished and strategic gameplay, rewarding design, and bucket-loads of childhood charm, it’s an easy recommendation – especially now that PlayStation players can finally get in on the fun too.” – Use A Potion 9/10
