Serious Sam: Shatterverse launches on PS5 Store

Serious Sam: Shatterverse has launched on the PlayStation Store for PS5. Developed by Behaviour Interactive and published by Devolver Digital, the game is priced at $19.99. PS Plus members receive a 10% launch discount through Sept. 7, lowering the price to $17.99. The title is available digitally on the PlayStation Store and no physical release is listed at launch.

The release delivers a multiplayer-focused first-person shooter that incorporates roguelite progression. Players fight wave-based encounters and boss battles while progressing across changing universes. The game supports cooperative play.

The PlayStation Store description frames the plot this way: “As part of the Serious Program, a multidimensional force opposing Uber Mental, you’ll travel across shifting universes to finish battles other Sams couldn’t. Mental has been hunting the hero across realities, and in many timelines, he’s already won. Now, it’s your turn to push back. To advance, you must bring down his five lieutenants, each a formidable boss in search of total annihilation.”

Additional details on the store page note arcade-style combat and roguelite progression mechanics. A launch trailer is available on the PlayStation Store page.

Player feedback on other platforms is mixed; Steam reviews show varied responses. Ratings and review counts may change as more users and critics post evaluations.
