Exciting news in the gaming world as Italian developer Caracal Games teams up with publisher Dear Villagers to bring the open-world hoverboard adventure, Star Overdrive, to PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC soon.
Set your calendars, as Star Overdrive is hitting PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on June 19. If you’re eager to dive into this unique experience, you can pre-order it now for $34.99 on any of the platform’s digital stores. For those looking for a little extra, the Deluxe Edition is available for $39.99. This version not only enhances your hoverboard with three additional styles, one exclusive design, and 50 custom dyes, but it also includes the digital soundtrack and a digital manga prequel to enrich your adventure.
To get fans even more pumped, a brand new trailer has been released celebrating the game’s broadened availability and its previous accolades. Definitely worth a watch if you’re curious about the thrilling world of Star Overdrive.
The game throws you into an exhilarating journey prompted by a mysterious distress signal. You’ll traverse an alien planet filled with secrets waiting to be uncovered. Riding your sleek Hoverboard, explore breathtaking environments, maneuvering through alien landmarks, from hot deserts to rippling seas, each challenging your abilities to the fullest.
In response to player feedback, Caracal Games is actively working on an update to improve the experience. Although a specific release date for this patch hasn’t been announced, developers are committing to roll it out “as soon as possible” for all platforms before the game officially drops.
Earlier this month, Switch owners got to experience Star Overdrive when it debuted on the Nintendo platform. While reception was mixed, the game earned a respectable average score of 68 based on 19 reviews from critics aggregated on Metacritic.
If you’re too excited to wait for the upcoming release, don’t worry. Star Overdrive is already available on Nintendo Switch. And if you’re on the fence about the $35 commitment, there’s a free demo on the console that’ll give you a taste of what’s in store.
