This one takes them from the North Pole, down to the Fountain of Youth (somewhere we’re all looking to visit), our to outer space and into hell… and back. It’s a journey of the ages, one in which Sam & Max will be looking to bring humour, madcap antics and justice to all.
Running a price of £16.74 and available to play on both Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, Beyond Time and Space comprises no less than five episodes, all interconnected and entwined, as Sam & max look to get a grip on the weird. And weird it is, with a ton of stuff going on. We won’t go into specifics right here, but you can be sure our full review of Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space on Xbox Series X|S will do just that – keep an eye out for it.
Also present on Nintendo Switch and PC through Steam, if you took in what was presented previously, either through Save the World or way back in the day when this was one of the earlier Sam & Max adventures, we’re pretty sure that Beyond Time and Space is going to excite.

Game Description:
Join the Freelance Police on a bizarre adventure from the North Pole to the Fountain of Youth, from outer space to Hell and back. Sam & Max Beyond Time and Space is a remastered version of Telltale’s second season of episodic Sam & Max games, lovingly updated by a small team of the original developers. Sam is a six-foot canine detective with a nose for justice. Max is a hyperkinetic rabbity-thing with a taste for mayhem. Together, they’re the Freelance Police—an irreverent comedy duo whose esoteric crime-fighting style has been entertaining comic book and video game fans for more than thirty years. In this five-episode collection of interconnected cases, Sam & Max are back on the crime beat in a showdown with Santa Claus, a race to subdue a giant volcano, and a face-off with a Eurotrash vampire. And then things get even weirder. Is paranoid shopkeeper Bosco on to something with his talk of a grand conspiracy? Is diner proprietress Stinky hiding the truth about what happened to her grandfather (also named Stinky)? Will flaky neighbor Sybil Pandemik ever find true love? Did someone say… BIRTHDAY?! Hop into the DeSoto for a hilarious outing that won IGN’s Adventure Game of the Year award the first time around and now looks and sounds better than ever, with gorgeous HD graphics, overhauled lighting and lip-sync, finessed cinematography, remastered audio, and eight all-new musical tracks featuring live jazz musicians. Zombies will dance. Mariachis will sing. A giant battle robot will trash the streets. And when their friends’ lives are on the line, Sam and Max will risk their very souls to set things right.
