Apogee Entertainment has dropped a surprise for fans of retro shooters: Turbo Overkill: Ultimate Edition is out now on the Nintendo Switch. The flashy new version not only brings extra content but also arrives with a free update that improves the game across all platforms.
Turbo Overkill: Ultimate Edition adds new content
Priced at $24.98 on the eShop, the Ultimate Edition offers more than just the base game. It comes bundled with:
- A 140-page art book
- A soundtrack sampler
- The Original Syn prequel comic, which expands Johnny Turbo’s backstory and enemy lore, now available free in-game for owners
These extras aim to give both newcomers and returning players more insight into the game’s world.
Quality-of-life update included for all players
Alongside the Ultimate Edition, Apogee rolled out a free update packed with community-requested features. This includes improved controller configurations across platforms, plus gyro controls and adaptive trigger support for PlayStation 5 users. Switch players benefit from the refinements too, making gameplay smoother and more customizable.
Affordable upgrade path for existing players
If you already own Turbo Overkill, you won’t be left behind. Apogee has provided an upgrade path to the Ultimate Edition for $4.99, letting current players access the new bonuses without repurchasing the game.
A standout in the boomer-shooter revival
Retro-inspired shooters are everywhere these days, but Turbo Overkill continues to stand out. With chainsaw slides, wall-running, grappling, and slo-mo carnage, Johnny Turbo’s over-the-top arsenal keeps it in the same conversation as cult favorites like Ultrakill and Dusk.
Turbo Overkill’s bloody return to Switch
The Ultimate Edition release cements Turbo Overkill as one of the most stylish modern boomer-shooters. With its surprise Switch launch, bonus extras, and free improvements, there’s never been a better time to revisit Johnny Turbo’s wild ride or to jump in for the first time.
