We've covered Hypercharge Unboxed a lot recently here at Pure Xbox - there was a review, an interview and some pre-release content that we shared - and perhaps we played a small part in the game launching to very impressive sales!
As things stand, Hypercharge is the #8 "Top Paid" game on the UK Xbox charts and #12 in the US, and back on June 2nd, the team revealed that the game had already sold 40,000 copies in just under three days since the Xbox launch.
Here's a small sample of what they've been saying over the past few days:
"Okay. I'm really emotional right now. We've just sold over 25,000 copies of Hypercharge on Xbox, in less than 24 hours!!! WHAT IS HAPPENING?"
"WE'RE #8 IN THE TOP PAID GAMES SECTION ON XBOX! WHAT IS GOING ON???"
"Anything is possible if you believe and work hard enough! It took me and our team of six a long time to get where we are! If you're struggling, please know that you are good enough and you can achieve great things! Success is subjective - find what makes you happy!"
So, when people say that Xbox fans don't buy indie games, you can show them this! Hypercharge seems to be off to a great start on Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, and hopefully that continues in the days and weeks to come.
We obviously enjoyed it too, giving Hypercharge: Unboxed a "Great" 8/10 score in our Pure Xbox review last Thursday, and stating that it "delivers fantastic first and third-person shooting across a good variety of maps and modes".
Did you end up buying Hypercharge Unboxed? Let us know what you think of it down below.

Been having a huge blast.
Between the four player split screen, humor, and a fun, retro feeling, campaign with level selects, the game has just about everything I wanted and expected.
The brand references are amazing as well. You have ones like the "OP" brand with the tagine "NERF THIS" all while being presented in nerf colors.
Even the multi-player has been going great with plenty of servers to hop in across the several game modes.
Definitely a great game to buy.
Will play it when it inevitably releases on gamepass. After watching gameplay and overviews of what the game has to offer I wouldn't spend $30 on it, maybe $10.
Anyways I just bought the Endwalker + Shadowbringers expansion for ffxiv online for $20 so I will be busy with that for a few months now.
@InterceptorAlpha the references are one of the best parts! lol
@LonglivetheKing Exactly! Then you have super thinly vieled ones like the box for one of the character called SCOUT TROOPER.
Then when you take a look under unlockables, you have a skin and helmet that makes him look like a scout trooper from Star Wars lol.
Always good to see someone work their way up and succeed like this.
Wish him and the team all the best.
I'm debating on wether to get this now or in a few weeks because at the moment whenever I treat myself one of my dogs suddenly need to visit the vets. One was limping on and off since last bank holiday but seems to be better now, and she hurt the same leg the bank holiday before that jumping off the settee. Leaning more towards buy and let's see because I want to play it but don't want to suddenly end up skint. The joys of having dogs😥
That's awesome
👍😁
Played a couple of rounds with my seven year old son on release date and we had a great time. I’m looking forward to jumping back in with him.
I've got that game on Switch and really enjoyed it.
I remember the developers listened to everything the gaming community said and released countless patches to make an already enjoyable game even better.
25,000 x $30 - 30% store take, is not that much. Not even a full time salary for 15 people for a single year. They spent years making this with multiple people.
@TheGiraffe I think it was 25k units in 24 hours, so, I think off to a promising start. Plus, just the xbox launch numbers - they previously launched on other platforms. But even so, must be hugely exciting for a small team just to see that many people want to play the thing you made
I got this for the multiplayer splitscreen...something that the new Halo promised but never featured
