Independent game developer Digital Cybercherries is celebrating a significant achievement with their acclaimed shooter, Hypercharge: Unboxed. Since its release on Xbox on May 31st, the game has sold over 100,000 copies, marking a major milestone for the small indie team. Notably, Hypercharge: Unboxed reached 25,000 sales within the first 24 hours of its launch, continuing its momentum to reach this impressive figure. The game has also garnered a strong positive reception, boasting a 4.6/5 rating on Xbox based on over 1,000 reviews.
Joe Henson, Creative Gameplay and Marketing Director at Digital Cybercherries, expressed his gratitude to the community: “I’ve been thanking everyone a lot recently, but with us now hitting 100k sales on Xbox, it’s my pleasure to do it again – so thank you to everyone that has bought this game and helped us to hit this incredible figure. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, 100k might not seem like much in comparison to the big AAA studios, but in the context of an industry facing a lot of challenges at the moment, for a small team of six, with no support from a big publisher, this is really a big deal! Thank you again to everyone who has supported us!”
