Star Overdrive is an interesting mix of SSX Tricky meets an open-world adventure game. The whole world is a giant hoverboard park where you fight enemies and bosses, solve puzzles, and get lots of air. It’s being developed by Caracal Games and published by Dear Villagers, and Nintendo has nabbed it as a timed Switch exclusive. There’s no release date on its Steam page yet, but for a smaller game like this, the Switch’s timed exclusives are usually about six months. So it’s likely we’ll see it come to PlayStation, Xbox, and PC later next year.

For now, Star Overdrive releases for the Switch on April 10, 2025. Check out the release date gameplay trailer below.
