What is Sunset Overdrive?

In this single-player, open-world third-person shooter, a contaminated energy drink turns most of Sunset City's residents into mutants. You grind rails, vault, and wall-run around the city while fighting mutants, robots, and thugs with unconventional weapons and customizable abilities.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy fast shooting that rewards staying in motion
  • +you like oddball weapons and self-aware comedy
  • +you want a colorful open world to explore solo

Not for you if...

  • −you prefer grounded shooting without acrobatic traversal
  • −you dislike frequent jokes and fourth-wall breaks
