Toy Soldiers Shooter HYPERCHARGE: Unboxed is Coming To PlayStation
Bring your action figures to life across the solo or co-op story campaign, or in PvP battles!
Manchester, UK – March 28th, 2025 - Independent developer Digital Cybercherries is thrilled to reveal that their acclaimed shooter about sentient action figures, Hypercharge: Unboxed, is coming to PlayStation 4 and 5 later this year! Furthermore, it will feature 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!
"Hypercharge: Unboxed has been a smash hit on PC, Switch and Xbox, where it was selected as one of the six best indie titles of 2024," said Joe Henson, Creative Gameplay and Marketing Director at Digital Cybercherries. "When we released it on Xbox, the game sold over 100k units in its first month without Game Pass or a publisher - but we've had thousands of fans on social media asking us if and when it would be coming to PlayStation. 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!"
What critics are saying:
"It's cute, charming, and most importantly, it's nostalgia bait done right. Everything from the gameplay elements and the scenery feels like it was done with care. Being able to relieve a piece of my childhood has been a treat and I'm always itching to put toys back into their boxes." - Xbox Tavern 10/10
"Hypercharge: Unboxed is an excellent multiplayer shooter. It plays extremely well, runs smoothly, and offers plenty of fun and challenge for groups of friends." - God is a Geek (8.5/10)
"HYPERCHARGE: Unboxed looks great, has local and online cross-play multiplayer, and makes you feel like a kid. This is a must-play title!" - GameGrin (8.5/10)
