MOUSE: P.I. For Hire is available now for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. It will launch later on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. We had the opportunity to review the game prior to its launch. We gave it a 4.5/5 and described it as follows: “With a simple yet effective progression system, a power fantasy combat loop, and passionate attention to detail, Mouse P.I. For Hire is easily one of the best titles of 2026. It reminds me of just how much joy a single-player first-person shooter can bring when it fires on all cylinders.”
Lastly, the Steam page provides an overview of the game:
MOUSE: P.I. For Hire is an action-packed first-person shooter that draws inspiration from the classic cartoons of the 1930s. Its black and white rubber hose visuals are drawn by hand, frame by frame, delivering a striking vintage aesthetic. Unravel layers of corruption with a thrilling noir-fueled detective story, lively environments to explore, an original big band jazz soundtrack, and a fully-loaded arsenal of cartoon weapons and devastating power-ups.
