Renowned Italian developer Caracal Games, in collaboration with publisher Dear Villagers, is gearing up to release their highly anticipated open-world hoverboard game, Star Overdrive, for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in just a few short months.
Star Overdrive Heads to PS5 by Year-End
Mark your calendars for June 19, when Star Overdrive will be making its debut on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC platforms. Gamers eager to dive into this dynamic universe can secure their copies by preordering through the respective digital stores of each platform. Priced at $34.99, the game also offers a Deluxe Edition for $39.99, which comes loaded with extra goodies: three unique hoverboard styles, one special design, 50 different dyes, the original soundtrack in digital form, and a digital manga that serves as a gripping prequel to the game.
To build anticipation and celebrate the upcoming expansion to more platforms, a captivating new trailer has been unveiled. You’re definitely going to want to check that out!
“Embark on an exhilarating adventure after responding to a mysterious distress signal,” the game promises. “As you explore an alien world, you’ll uncover secrets buried within its depths. Your trusty hoverboard will be your companion as you navigate breathtaking landscapes full of alien architecture—from the blistering desert sands to the undulating oceans—each environment challenging your skills to the utmost."
Caracal Games isn’t stopping there. They’re actively working on enhancements based on player feedback to refine the gaming experience. While they haven’t specified when the update will drop, rest assured they’re aiming to roll it out "as soon as possible," ready for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC fans ahead of the official release.
Star Overdrive recently made waves with its launch on the Nintendo Switch earlier this month. While the reception has been somewhat mixed, with an average score of 68 based on 19 critic reviews according to Metacritic, excitement still brews.
For those too impatient to wait for the broader release, Star Overdrive is available on the Nintendo Switch right now. If you’re on the fence about committing $35, there’s a free demo on Nintendo’s console that might just help you decide.
