POSTAL: Brain Damaged

POSTAL: Brain Damaged is a fast single-player shooter in a retro style. The POSTAL Dude crosses nightmarish locations from his own mind. Unlike the open worlds of other POSTAL games, the focus is on hand-built levels, intense firefights, absurd enemies and crude satire.

POSTAL: Brain Damaged was released for PC on Jun 9, 2022. The native PS4 and PS5 versions followed on Oct 25, 2023. On Nintendo Switch it has been playable since Feb 2, 2024.

The expansion These Sunny Daze was released on PC on Sep 9, 2025, and on PS4, PS5 and Switch on Mar 16, 2026.

The base game has been released natively for PC, PS4, PS5 and Nintendo Switch. An Xbox version is not among the official platform versions.

On Switch, handheld, tabletop and TV modes as well as the Pro Controller are supported. The PlayStation Store lists separate versions for PS4 and PS5.

POSTAL: Brain Damaged combines fast movement with precise shootouts and challenging enemy groups. Anyone who hides in one spot barely makes use of the large combat arenas. You switch weapons, dodge and explore the hand-built levels for hidden paths and items.

These Sunny Daze tells a new adventure after the main campaign. The POSTAL Dude fights in a holiday landscape with five new weapons against additional enemy types. With Sticky Hand he can reach places even without the previous hook.

The expansion requires the base game and has been released for PC, PS4, PS5 and Switch. There is also a digital artbook and the official soundtrack as separate companion products.

On Windows, the game requires at least Windows 10, a 4th-generation Intel Core i5 or equivalent, 4 GB RAM, a GeForce GTX 780M or equivalent graphics, and 15 GB storage. A 10th-generation Core i7, 8 GB RAM and an RTX 2080 or newer are recommended.

The POSTAL Dude wakes up in an asylum, where the inmates are turned into dangerous enemies by questionable medication. His escape leads through increasingly grotesque scenes from his own mind. The story relies on black humor, exaggeration and unreliable perception rather than realistic locations.

Quick changes of direction and constant movement define the fights. The controls are based on classic arena shooters. Many rooms offer ways to circle enemies and avoid attacks while on the move.

Branching paths and secrets also give exploration a firm place in the gameplay.

The arsenal consists of deliberately exaggerated firearms, plus power-ups and unusual tools. Different enemy groups require different distances and switching equipment during combat.

Bizarre enemies and special boss fights await in the levels. Their forms and attacks match the distorted mind of the POSTAL Dude. Quick reactions, using the room to move and switching weapons at the right moment are key.

POSTAL: Brain Damaged has a single-player campaign divided into individual levels. It is not an open-world game and does not offer regular multiplayer. On Steam, achievements, cloud saves, leaderboards and Workshop support are available.

The Complete Edition includes the base game and These Sunny Daze. Steam also sells both contents separately. On PlayStation, the package is available for PS4 and PS5. The bundle is not a standalone sequel.

On PC, German menus and subtitles are available, while the voice audio is in English. Steam also lists Polish, French, Italian and Spanish, among others, as supported on-screen languages.

The Switch version also offers German text and is rated 18+ in Germany.
