The Sleeper Hit You Missed: Dispatch Is Dominating Ratings, Even Before It’s Finished

It slipped under the radar, yet it’s pulling near-perfect scores on both the PS Store and Steam – despite being incomplete. From former Telltale devs, the narrative-driven Dispatch is rocketing up user charts.

 

Games like this don’t come along every month. In 2025, AA and indie releases have crashed the “best of the year” conversation – think Expedition 33, Silksong, Split Fiction, Hades 2, Blue Prince, and more. Yet one recent launch has players swooning over its storytelling, animation, and superhero-management layer: Dispatch. It’s fair to call it a spiritual cousin to Telltale’s work – unsurprising, since AdHoc was founded by veterans from that studio. It debuted on October 22 for Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PS5 with two episodes, adding two more each week until the eight-part season wraps on November 13. Even with chapters still incoming, Dispatch has already seized the community’s attention.

 

Top of the PS Store – unfinished and already chart-topping

 

Despite not being complete, Dispatch is flirting with perfection on the PS Store: over 6,000 reviews and a 4.95/5 star average. It currently stands as the highest-rated game in the storefront’s history. Sure, thousands more reviews would cement the comparison, but as launches go, Dispatch is off to a blazing start.

 

Dispatch roadmap – fresh chapters land on November 5 and 12

 

Steam tells a similar story. AdHoc’s narrative adventure sits at 92% positive with 18,000+ reviews, and SteamDB shows a peak of 20,000+ concurrent players. Not sold yet? The free demo on Steam boasts a 98% positive score. Without spoilers: Dispatch spins an episodic yarn that mixes humor, strategy, superheroes, and meaningful choices – an office comedy where you also wrangle a roster of misfit capes.
