When playing The Outer Worlds 2, gamers know that they can consume Purpleberry Punch for a boost, and this in-game item inspired the latest 5-hour Energy flavor of the same name. In the real world, zero-sugar Purpleberry Punch tastes like juicy grape and zesty lime with a kick from ginger, and it delivers a dose of caffeine, B-vitamins, and nutrients to keep gamers—and others who need a level up—high in energy.
Inspired by the sequel to the award-winning first-person sci-fi RPG, every bottle of 5-hour Energy's Purpleberry Punch comes with a unique code to unlock exclusive in-game items.
Soon, fans can look forward to another limited-edition flavor from 5-hour Energy, Xbox and Obsidian Entertainment: Mock Melon Brew, which will be available exclusively at Circle K stores across the United States.
