About Sunset Overdrive

Sunset Overdrive is a third-person perspective action-adventure shooter video game developed by Insomniac Games and published by Microsoft Studios. It was first released in 28, 2014 as an Xbox One exclusive. Later in November, 2018, it was released for both Windows 10 and Steam, but without the multiplayer component.

The game is set in 2027. On July 13, 2027, megaconglomerate FizzCo hosts a massive pre-release party in Sunset City for its new energy drink, OverCharge Delirium XT (also known as OverCharge), allowing the citizens to be the first to try it.

However, in order to sell OverCharge faster, FizzCo skipped health regulation protocols and rushed through testing, leading to the drink being so toxic that anyone who drinks it transforms into a violent, boil-covered mutant known as an Overcharge Drinker (OD).

The player character is a former FizzCo employee, tasked with cleaning up the mess left behind from the party and fighting off the OD.
