Exciting news for fans of the high-octane shooter Hypercharge: Unboxed as developer Digital Cybercherries announces that the game has surpassed 100,000 copies sold on Xbox consoles. In just one month since its release, Hypercharge: Unboxed has captured the hearts of gamers with its chaotic first-and-third-person shooter gameplay set in a world of sentient childhood toys.

Joe Henson, Creative Gameplay & Marketing Director for Hypercharge: Unboxed, expressed his overwhelming emotions regarding the game’s success on Xbox. He described the experience as surreal, like living in a dream, and emphasized the fulfillment of seeing players embrace the project.

The milestone achievement of 100,000 copies sold on Xbox has been transformative for the small team of six at Digital Cybercherries. The success has not only impacted their lives but has also provided the opportunity to invest in marketing and enhance different aspects of the game that were previously limited by resources.

Embracing Nostalgic Gameplay on Xbox

Hypercharge: Unboxed pays homage to classic shooters of the past, drawing inspiration from games like Halo and Goldeneye known for their engaging mechanics. The game’s nostalgic appeal resonates well with Xbox players, especially with the inclusion of split-screen play that enhances the old-school gaming experience.

Exploring the Unique Concept of Hypercharge: Unboxed

The concept of Hypercharge: Unboxed stemmed from the team’s curiosity about the miniature world and was inspired by iconic ’80s and ’90s movies like “Toy Story” and “Small Soldiers.” Joe Henson mentioned that the idea was sparked by rediscovering the film “Small Soldiers” and the magic it brought to action figures in childhood memories.

The nostalgic setting of Hypercharge: Unboxed fosters a unique experience that not only appeals to adults who grew up in the ’80s and ’90s but also provides an opportunity for them to share their childhood excitement with their children.

With a variety of multiplayer modes, including online and local co-op for up to four players, Hypercharge: Unboxed offers a platform for friends and families to come together and relive the nostalgic gaming experience.

Future Plans and Expansion on Xbox

As the team continues to work on optimizing the game for Xbox consoles, they are also exploring the addition of an ‘Endless Game Mode’ to challenge players with endless waves of enemies. The positive feedback from the Xbox community has fueled the team’s motivation to further enhance the game and potentially consider a Hypercharge 2 in the future.

Hypercharge: Unboxed is now available for Xbox Series X|S, offering players a chance to immerse themselves in the action-packed world of sentient toys and defend the Hypercore from destruction.
