One of 2023's Highest-Rated Games Has Shadow Dropped on Consoles
The critically acclaimed Turbo Overkill, a boomer shooter that took the PC world by storm, has made its way to PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch with enhanced visuals.
Turbo Overkill, one of 2023’s highest-rated games, has officially shadow-dropped on consoles, making its debut on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch. Developed by Trigger Happy Interactive and published by Apogee Entertainment, this fast-paced FPS has quickly gained recognition as one of the standout titles in the boomer shooter genre.
A Year After Its PC Debut, Turbo Overkill Hits Consoles
Originally released as a PC exclusive in August 2023, Turbo Overkill received near-universal praise from both critics and players alike. The game earned a "Mighty" rating on OpenCritic, securing an impressive average score of 91 and a 93% reviewer recommendation rate. This made Turbo Overkill one of the top 2023 titles, ranking at number 11, just behind 8-Bit Adventures 2 and ahead of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
The console version release, which took place on January 29, 2025, was somewhat of a surprise to fans. While Apogee Entertainment had confirmed that console ports were in the works earlier in the year, there were no official release date announcements, making the shadow drop even more unexpected. The transition to consoles marks an exciting new chapter for the critically acclaimed title, bringing its high-octane action to a wider audience.
Boomer Shooter Fans Won’t Want to Miss This
Turbo Overkill is a throwback to the golden age of boomer shooters, offering players frenetic, old-school FPS action with a modern twist. Set in a neon-soaked cyberpunk world, the game features over-the-top violence, intense gunplay, and a progression system that keeps players engaged from start to finish. The console versions feature slightly sharper and more vivid visuals than the PC release, giving players an even more immersive experience.
Fans of the game’s chaotic combat and retro-inspired style will be pleased to hear that Turbo Overkill will receive a graphics update for its PC version, bringing it in line with the console ports. The update is set to drop on January 31, ensuring that players on all platforms enjoy the same stunning visuals.
