Hypercharge: Unboxed Launches on Xbox, Bringing Back Childhood Toy Box Battles

Calling all couch co-op warriors and nostalgia seekers! Hypercharge: Unboxed blasts onto Xbox Series X/S today, delivering a first-person shooter experience that's more fun than stepping on a Lego in socks.


Ditch the subscriptions and battle passes! Hypercharge: Unboxed throws it back to simpler times. You pay once, get the full game, and that's it. Plus, the glorious return of offline split-screen lets you team up with friends on the same couch, because who needs therapy when you can yell at your mates for accidentally blasting you with a Nerf rocket launcher (we've all been there).


Don't be fooled by the accessible controls. Hypercharge: Unboxed offers a surprisingly compelling gameplay loop. It's like playing with your action figures as a kid, only this time they have actual firepower (and a laser focus on destroying that creepy talking teddy bear). Blasting your way through waves of enemy toys with friends is pure, chaotic fun, and the only tears shed will be from laughter (or maybe a misplaced nerf dart in the eye, but that's part of the charm).


Hypercharge: Unboxed evokes memories of classic titles like Army Men: Sarge's Heroes on N64, with a healthy dose of "Toy Story" and "Small Soldiers" thrown in for good measure. Imagine Buzz Lightyear with a minigun taking down rogue Barbie dolls with rocket launchers.  This game is basically that glorious, plastic-fueled mayhem.


Overall, Hypercharge: Unboxed is a delightful surprise on Xbox. It's a perfect pick-me-up for a night of laughs and co-op carnage with friends. So, dust off those controllers, grab your squad, and prepare to defend the Hypercore from the relentless onslaught of plastic adversaries! Just be careful not to lose an eye (or a friend) in the hilarious crossfire.
