Streets of Rage 4 is a revival of the classic beat em’ up series released in 2020 that was released earlier this spring on PC, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 4. After not seeing a release for 25 years, Streets of Rage 4 brought the series into the modern era and received critical praise upon launch. The title featured new and returning fighters, stylish hand-drawn artwork, brand new combat abilities, and mechanics, retro pixel character unlocks, and a soundtrack crafted in homage to the sound and style that made the original games so popular.
The game is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC.
