Serious Sam: Shatterverse arrives today on PC, PS5 and Xbox with cross-play

Serious Sam: Shatterverse, the new cooperative roguelite from Behaviour Interactive in partnership with Devolver Digital, is now available for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series. The launch takes place this Monday, August 31, and the official Steam page confirms immediate availability with a special launch discount. The game arrives with support for up to five players in online cooperation and cross-play from day one, allowing friends on different platforms to play together without any extra setup. The information was released by Valve's own store and echoed by the site Gematsu.

Unlike the linear shooters of the classic franchise, Shatterverse bets on a roguelite structure: each run is unique, with procedurally generated stages, random upgrades and permanent deaths. The goal is to advance through fragmented worlds, facing gigantic hordes of enemies while the group collects improvements to try to reach the final boss. The proposal mixes the frantic action of Serious Sam with the replayability typical of the genre, something Behaviour Interactive has already explored in titles like Dead by Daylight, but now in a format fully focused on cooperative play.

In addition to cross-play at launch, the game features scalable difficulty options and progression that encourages repeating expeditions. Each playable character has their own abilities, and teamwork is essential to survive the highest challenges. According to Behaviour Interactive, the game was designed to be accessible both to series veterans and to those who have never played a Serious Sam, with quick matches and a straightforward tutorial. The PC version is already running on Steam, while consoles receive the title in the digital stores of Sony and Microsoft.

The launch discount on Steam is valid for a limited time, but the company did not inform when the promotion ends. For those who want to get into the cooperative rhythm, this is the first major opportunity to test the game at a reduced price. Behaviour Interactive also confirmed that post-launch support will include new seasons, with free content and an optional battle pass. With a solid base on day one, Serious Sam: Shatterverse promises to occupy an interesting space in this year's cooperative roguelites catalog, especially for those seeking casual and chaotic action alongside friends.
