About Cobalt

Forget everything you’ve learned about combat. Cobalt’s slo-mo mechanic lets you perform moves that other games can’t comprehend. Play through the story and discover answers to mysterious questions including: What happened to the humans? Why am I riding a space hamster? How is my cyborg head so good at deflecting bullets? Multiplayer is a less cryptic, though equally enjoyable affair: face off against friends and enemies in local or online multiplayer, learn the intricacies of over 80 maps and 67 weapons, and dominate the leaderboards.
  • Enjoy 6 multiplayer modes on over 80 maps. Play locally or online.
  • Wield over 37 ranged weapons, 33 melee weapons, 6 hand shields, and more...
  • Use Cobalt's signature move - the combat roll - to deflect projectiles or line up sweet headshots.
  • Take advantage of our automatic-extreme-slo-mo mechanic, to pull off sick manoeuvres like rocket punches, bullet deflects, or last-second goals
  • Customise weapons and armour to your personal taste.
  • Play through the story alone or in co-op. Tame wasps! Take part in unnecessary dancing mini-games. Make friends with birds then get sad when they explode into puff of feathers

Six game modes

  • Survival Mode: Face off against waves of enemies, upgrading equipment between rounds.
  • Combat and Speed challenges: test speed, agility and combat skills in a wealth of challenges. Take your place on the global leaderboards.
  • Deathmatch: Go head to head in free-for-all showdowns or team-based battles.
  • Team Strike: No respawns. Multiple rounds! Equipment upgrades! Cobalt’s most original mode.
  • Plug Slam: The most popular sport in the Cobalt universe. Slam the plug into the goal to win. Don’t die!
  • Story Mode: Discover the secrets of a remote colony alone or with a friend in local co-op. Includes puzzles, boss fights and tameable pets.

Cobalt is the brainchild of Oxeye Game Studio, which consists of Jens Bergensten, Daniel Brynolf, and Pontus Hammarberg. It’s published by Mojang.

The best 1v1 couch pvp controller shooter experience out there. It's perfect.

I can respect a game that is extremely specialized for a very small niche, and is very very good at the particular thing it's trying to do. This game is one of those. If you're someone looking for something in that niche, you don't need me to tell you you'll like this. I probably won't ever play this game again, but if it's right for you, it might become the only game you ever play. Cobalt players, I'm rooting for y'all!

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.

Toxic Commando Game Pass: subscribe, or buy the key?

The Toxic Commando Game Pass add landed on 12 November. Our price record since late September shows the key route barely moved, which changes what a subscription is worth.

Titanfall 2's campaign changed its own rules every mission. Games like Titanfall 2 that keep one part of it — the wall-running, the mech, or a campaign that never settles.
