BOTSU

ARE YOU READY TO BOTSU? It's the ultimate robo-sport showdown! Compete online or split-screen in a series of ragdoll, physics-based battlesports to prove your mechanical mettle. Select from dozens of event variants and face off in team-based competition to earn victorious XP and another highlight for bragging rights. Each round can have a whole host of modifiers with gadget power-ups, gravity boosters, missing limbs, water levels and even more – every match is a new challenge.

  • BOX-BALL: Take to the field as two teams of battling bots compete to score goals with hydraulic precision in football, basketball, beachball, and legally distinct wizard sportsball. Just don't hold onto that ball for too long, or you might find yourself paying an explosive penalty.
  • STOCKPILE: Exert android superiority over opposing teams by stealing their stock by any means necessary. These bots aren't playing for the love of the game, folks, this is all about robo-dominance.
  • SUMO SURVIVAL: Outlast your opponents because the floor is lava! It's the ultimate test of chrome-clad chaos. No move is too dirty, no blow is too low and you strike to stand atop the mechanical mountain as the BOTSU Champion.

Party up in 4-player split-screen and go head-to-head with online teams in matches with up to 8 players 4v4. Hang out with your fellow bots in the sandbox social space between matches, where you can play casual games, upgrade and customize your gear, or just admire the voxel views of the city. These aren't your average sluggish ragdolls. You're a Bot athlete at the height of your career. You can sprint, jump, flip, climb, breakdance, fly and break through the sound barrier with your overpowered rocket boosters as you combine acrobatics with combat in the world's most ridiculous display of physics-based fighting.
