The classic returns in PO’ed: Definitive Edition

Near on 40 years ago came PO’ed – an adrenaline-pumping survival space shooter. Now that game lands on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC in PO’ed: Definitive Edition.

Available right now on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, PO’ed: Definitive Edition is the latest from a Nightdive Studios team intent on dragging classic games up to date for a modern audience. It’s also on PlayStation, Nintendo Switch and PC should you prefer. 

Don’t get mad – get PO’ed

Nightdive have previously been behind the likes of Turok 3, but now they go all-in with PO’ed: Definitive Edition. It’s priced at £16.74 and promises to spice up the original game with better visuals, framerates, controls and more. 

This is a game that was originally inspired by old-school DOOM and Quake. Those names alone should give a bit of an insight into what is promised with PO’ed: Definitive Edition, as you grab a jetpack, take hold of a rocket launcher and look to blast the living daylights out of a bunch of aliens. 

Working as a first person shooter, some 25 environments are promised in PO’ed: Definitive Edition. As is a huge array of weapons – making the most of everything to hand will be the only way you can blast through this adrenaline-pumping, action-packed, fast-paced gaming experience. 

Key features

• A plate full of quality-of-life features to enhance the gameplay and fix bugs present in the original game (which can be toggled off)
• Wet your whistle with widescreen support for the HUD and other on-screen graphics
• A new delicious difficulty mode has been added for hardcore players
• 15 appetizing achievements
• A dash of localization support for English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish
• Total freedom! Cruise on foot or fly with your jetpack through 25 wild 3D environments
