Press release:
Stockholm, Sweden — August 26, 2026 | Maximum Entertainment today announced Hollywood Hustle, a cozy loot-driven scavenger game developed by Woodpile Studios. The game lets players dig through the abandoned trash of Hollywood backlots and uncover iconic hidden treasures. Coming to PC via Steam, Hollywood Hustle puts a playful twist on the world of movie production, asking one simple question: what happens to movie sets after filming wraps?

In Hollywood Hustle, players explore abandoned movie-set backlots and shovel through massive piles of trash in search of valuable and unusual props. Every dig is a gamble, with loot ranging from common finds to legendary treasures. Players can sell what they discover, break rarer items down into crafting resources, and fill their bags with matching loot for bonus rewards.

A demo of Hollywood Hustle will be available to play at Gamescom 2026.

Hollywood Hustle features:

• Dig & Discover: Explore abandoned Hollywood backlot sets and shovel through massive trash piles to uncover hidden treasures.

• Six Studio Districts: Discover six distinct areas, each featuring different props, loot and vibes inspired by different film genres.

• Meet Your Robot Sidekick: A clumsy, lovable helper who hauls your bags, celebrates your wins, and reacts with a personality of its own.

With its mix of exploration, scavenging, collection and crafting, Hollywood Hustle turns abandoned movie sets into playgrounds for discovery. From rummaging through backlot junk to finding a rare piece of movie-set treasure, every pile offers the chance to find something unexpected.

Hollywood Hustle will release on PC via Steam in 2027. For more information, visit maximument.com/games/hollywoodhustle or follow @MaximumEntmt on X.
