Hardspace: Shipbreaker is coming to new-gen platforms next month on September 20.

Announced just earlier today on August 23 at the Gamescom Opening Night Live showcase, Hardspace: Shipbreaker is finally making the jump from PC to console platforms next month. The superb indie game will officially be launching on September 20 for PS5 and Xbox Series X platforms.

If you weren't aware, Hardspace: Shipbreaker only just launched in full on PC earlier this year in 2022. Up until then, the game had been in an early access format for PC players, but its robust storyline and narrative were finally completed with one big update, free for all existing players.

If it wasn't already, Hardspace: Shipbreaker should absolutely be on your radar when it comes to PC platforms next month. Its narrative is one of putting workers shackled by capitalism under the microscope, and it basically goes about deconstructing the role of the average worker in the massive system.

Yeah, it's surprisingly heavy on the narrative side. On the other hand, Hardspace: Shipbreaker is an excellent game about breaking down spaceships part by part, as you play the role of a cutter, someone who goes out into space and takes apart spaceships to accrue salvage credits from your corporate overlords. Don't worry, the actual act of playing the game is a whole lot more fun than we've made it sound here.
