Let’s be honest, as PlayStation owners, it’s not often we get games last. Publishers and developers usually prioritise Sony’s systems, as the market is too large to ignore.

In the case of uber-popular action figure shooter Hypercharge: Unboxed, the PS5 and PS4 platforms have been made to wait.

The title – which first launched on PC and the Nintendo Switch all the way back in 2020 before being ported to Xbox last year – sold over 100,000 units on Microsoft’s platform alone, a big deal for a release without a publisher or an Xbox Game Pass deal.

“We’ve had thousands of fans on social media asking us if and when it would be coming to PlayStation,” said Joe Henson, creative gameplay and marketing director.

“You asked, so we’ve delivered and are so pleased to announce that PlayStation players will get to join in on the fun soon.

“And better yet, you can play cross-platform with your friends on other systems, ensuring that everyone can get in on the fun!”

It should be noted that said crossplay will exclude the Nintendo Switch release, so you’ll be able to play with Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.

For those who haven’t been following this game, it’s a mix of third-person and first-person shooter, where you assume the role of sentient action figures in a battle to preserve your childhood memories.

While multiplayer is, as you’d expect, a huge focus, there’s also been consideration for single player. You’ll be able to play offline locally with bots if you want to, so there’s no requirement to go online if you don’t fancy it.

Of course, if you do enjoy multiplayer then there are competitive and co-operative modes available, and there’s even split-screen and local play if you want to keep the fun in your own home.

As we alluded to earlier in the article, this game has been a big hit on all the platforms it’s released on, so we’d expect no different from the PS5 and PS4 release. There’s no date attached to the title just yet, but it’s out later this year.
