Tweet

Publisher and developer Digital Cybercherries announced Hypercharge: Unboxed has sold over 50,000 units on the Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One since it released for the consoles on May 31.

"I'm extremely proud (and teary) to announce that we've nearly reached 50,000 sales on Xbox in just five days! Unbelievable!," said the developer via Twitter. "Additionally, we've surpassed 600 reviews, achieving an average rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars! THANK YOU ALL!"

One of the people who worked on the game revealed they left school at 15 and worked at their family business. They left in 2020 to do designing and marketing in video games, and have stated the game has gone "viral" on Xbox.

"I left school at 15," said the developer. "No grades or confidence, devoting 14 years to our family’s painting & decorating business. In 2020, I switched to designing and marketing games. Now, in 2024, our action figure game has launched on Xbox and is going viral. 'Power Your Dreams' is true.

"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!"

Digital Cybercherries via Twitter revealed Hypercharge: Unboxed reached number eight on the paid games section on the Xbox Store.

Hypercharge: Unboxed was developed by a small team of six people and it previously released for the Nintendo Switch in January 2020 and for PC in April 2020.

Its been out for like 4 years on pc right? currently has like 300 players daily that login.
In that sense, getting 50,000 new players is a god send for them. However viral? a little too early to tell.

True, but an indie game reaching the top 10 best sellers on a platform is still quite the accomplishment. Especially when it's performing next to the likes of CoD and GTA. Idk if I would call it viral yet either though. But if word of mouth continues the way it has been, sales will only continue.
