Discover the fast-paced action of Sunset Overdrive, an open-world game developed by Insomniac Games and published by Microsoft Studios for Xbox One, featuring acrobatic movements and unconventional combat against mutant enemies.

What is Sunset Overdrive?

Sunset Overdrive is an open world action-adventure game developed by Insomniac Games and published by Microsoft Studios in 2014 exclusively for the Xbox One. The game is set in the fictional metropolis of Sunset City in 2027.

Players take on the role of a customizable protagonist who must battle through hordes of mutant enemies that have overrun the city. The mutation was caused by a contaminated energy drink made by the fictional FizzCo corporation. Players can perform exaggerated and acrobatic movements such as wall running and rail grinding to traverse through the open world and defeat enemies.

The game features an unconventional arsenal of makeshift, futuristic, and silly weapons including guns that shoot vinyl records, teddy bear bombs, and a gun that shoots fireworks. Players can customize these weapons with mods like extra ammunition or explosive rounds. The game emphasizes over-the-top action, parkour movement, and creative weaponry over gritty realism.

Key features also include a 4-player online co-op multiplayer mode, side quests and challenges, character and weapon customization, and an irreverent sense of humor and vibrancy inspired by comic books and cartoons. With its over-the-top style and open world traversal, Sunset Overdrive is often compared to the early 2000s PlayStation exclusive series Ratchet & Clank.
