Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, the heavily Jet-Set-Radio-inspired adventure from developer Team Reptile, launches for PlayStation and Xbox on 1st September, two weeks after Switch and PC.
As a mere glimpse will confirm, Bomb Rush Cyberfunk pays homage and then some to Sega's beloved Dreamcast classic Jet Set Radio, sporting an immediately familiar cell-shaded aesthetic as players skate, skateboard, and cycle through the futuristic streets of New Amsterdam, dodging militarised police, spraying graffiti, and facing off against other crews.
Bomb Rush Cyberfunk's New Amsterdam features five main boroughs to explore, and players can make use of a «unique environment based trick system» that includes combos and boost tricks as they roam. Additionally, there're new crew members to recruit along the way, plus a composer line-up including Hideki Naganuma, who wrote Jet Set Radio's soundtrack.
Bomb Rush Cyberfunk costs $39.99 USD and will be available for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S from 1st September, putting its launch a few weeks after the Switch and PC versions, which were both recently confirmed to be arriving on 18th August.
While Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is perhaps the closest thing to a new Jet Set Radio game fans have seen since Jet Set Radio Future launched for Xbox in 2002, rumours suggest an official new entry in the series — described as a «big-budget reboot» — is currently in the works at Sega, alongside a similar reboot for Dreamcast classic Crazy Taxi.

It’s been over 20 years since the Jet Set Radio series has seen a new entry and supplied gaming with a style-filled, funky adrenaline rush. Thankfully, Team Reptile has been hard at work for years to create a spiritual successor that plays some of the hits of the past, but does its own thing as well in Bomb Rush Cyberfunk. Since the moment it was first shown off in motion, it was clear that that the team was looking to take the best of what worked about Jet Set Radio and Jet Set Radio Future (which we covered in our Graveyard) and improve upon it when possible, and it looks we’ve seeing that come to fruition here.

GameMill announced NASCAR Arcade Rush in June, and had a few screenshots to show off then – but no video. The images made it clear that the NASCAR license would be used fairly well to do things like recreate cars and reimagine well-known tracks, but there wasn’t much to go off of beyond the name and concept. Now, we have a much clearer picture of what the final product will look like and it’s even more promising than it seemed before.
