The Hotline Miami Series: A Delirious Dance of Blood and Bullets
Hotline Miami 1 & 2 Bringing 80s Retro Chaos to Xbox Series X/S and PS5
Hotline Miami 1 & 2 now available on Xbox Series X/S and PS5.
Have you ever felt that life is missing a touch of woozily eccentric mayhem? Well, fear not, because the Hotline Miami series is here to satisfy your craving for over-the-top violence and blood-soaked madness! And guess what? The classic games are now available natively for the Xbox Series X/S and PS5! It’s like a dream come true for all the adrenaline junkies out there.
I mean, let’s not forget that it has been over a decade since the critically lauded Hotline Miami first blew our minds and made our pulses race faster than a cheetah on roller skates. This top-down masterpiece took us on a wild ride through the seedy underbelly of Miami, where an unnamed protagonist embarked on a rampage against the local mafia. All thanks to cryptic instructions received on an answering machine. Talk about customer service gone wrong!
Stealth and blood-soaked shooting action were the name of the game, accompanied by a mind-bending narrative, a stylish fever dream aesthetic, and a pulsing synth soundtrack that could make even the statues in the Louvre do the cha-cha. No wonder Eurogamer awarded it a perfect 10/10. This game hit all the right notes and left a lasting impact on gamers worldwide.
But the insanity didn’t stop there. In 2015, Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number took us to even greater heights of weirdness, toughness, and general mind-boggling confusion. It was like the sequel decided to crank up the madness dial to eleven and throw away the knob. But hey, sometimes going bigger doesn’t always mean going better. Despite its valiant efforts, the second installment didn’t quite have the same jaw-dropping impact as its predecessor. It’s like trying to tame an elephant with a toothpick. A valiant effort, but let’s face it, it’s just not gonna work.
Now, prepare yourself for some exciting news! Hotline Miami and Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number are finally making their native debut on the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. And there are not one, but two purchasing options to choose from. You can grab the whole shebang with the two-game Hotline Miami Collection for just $19.99 USD (around £16). It’s like getting a double shot of adrenaline straight to the veins. Or if you prefer to savor each game separately, you can purchase them individually for $9.99 and $14.99 (approximately £8 and £12). It’s all about options, baby!

But wait, there’s more! The PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions come with new Achievements/Trophies to spice up your gaming experience. It’s like collecting a shiny badge for surviving the madness. And if you’re already an owner of Hotline Miami on the previous generation of consoles, fear not, for publisher Devolver Digital is offering free upgrades on both platforms. They’ve got your back, my friend. Now go forth and unleash the mayhem!
So, whether you’re a long-time fan of the series or a newcomer seeking the thrill of a blood-soaked adventure, the Hotline Miami series on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S is calling your name. Get ready to dance through a delirious world of bullets and mayhem and experience gaming like never before.
