Hard Reset is a 2011 first-person shooter game developed by Flying Wild Hog[2] and released for Windows in September 2011.[3] The game features a cyberpunk plot within a dystopian world, and draws inspiration from the works of William Gibson, Neal Stephenson, and Philip K. Dick to create its story, setting and atmosphere.

In 2012, Hard Reset received a free expansion titled Hard Reset: Exile, and was then bundled as Hard Reset: Extended Edition. In June 2016, a remastered version called Hard Reset Redux was released alongside versions for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One with upgraded graphics and new weapons and enemies.[4] Redux was made available for Amazon Luna in October 2020.[5] The game received mixed reviews from critics.
