Bomb Rush Cyberfunk is an action-adventure game developed and published by Team Reptile. The player controls a member of a graffiti Writer gang called Bomb Rush Crew as they use boostpacks traversing around New Amsterdam, paint graffiti, collect beats, combo tricks and facing authority to stake their claim to the sprawling metropolis of New Amsterdam. The game was first released in Japan on Switch on 18 August 2023 and released worldwide for Linux, macOS, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on the same day afterward.

The game's gameplay bear similarity to Jet Set Radio with the exception of an option to switch between inline skates, skateboards, and BMX with each has different hidden functions, Reputation points (Shortened as REP) which can be gained by replacing other gang's graffiti with theirs, and access to flip phone which the player can use to access available sequence for the graffities they have collected after completing a mission, music for background the player has collected so far (Some of them are found in hard-to-reach platform) which can be manually picked and turned on or off from Red's phone, access to camera with the filter option and switch point of view between front or self (The camer's POV depends on the character's animation while holding the phone) and gallery with the option to view the captured photo in full screen and delete photos. Player gained access to boostpack at the beginning of the game which can help the player reach hard-to-reach platforms with correct timing. Boostpack fuel meter can be replenished by hitting vending machines and dumpsters which will spit out some fuel orbs for the player to collect. Player character also regenerates health over time if they are hurt (By cops, falling, unpassable wall hazard or DJ Cyber's disc during his boss battle).

Unlike Jet Set Radio's combo system, the game's combo can only be increased by leaning left or right before the player character hit a corner while grinding or wallride. The player can also use the boostpack to gain a large amount point multiplied by the player's current combo at the cost of some fuel which is useful for outscoring rival gang in Crew Battle.

With Escher gone (Or rather...he retreats back to police HQ), the gang can now head to the new area Planet Plaza and climb the tower to the top where the Eclipse are. At the top, Red challenges the gang to a Crew Battle and the Oldheads interrupt for the second time and said, "Let's get this show on the road". After the BRC won, Red had another blackout before he could announce his claim over Brink Terminal as BRC's turf. In the 2nd dream, the environment turns weirder than the last one which means...more acrobat moves to do to get through and more flexibility needed to pass the level. At the end of the dream, Red sees someone standing on a ladder and painting something at the billboard in front of him. Red approaches the man while asking, "Who are you?" I don't think I have seen you before...". This man turns his face at Red, giving Red a clear look at his face (Man with beard and a wing tattoo on his left cheek) before the dream ended with him falling down from ladder and Faux watching silently from above.
