Evaluation

Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space is a remastered collection of five episodes from Telltale's second Sam & Max season, released on December 8, 2021. The game shipped as a complete product — all five episodes were included at launch, with no post-launch story content ever planned or announced. After launch, Skunkape delivered on two promised extras: the official soundtrack (December 18, 2021) and the original 2007/2008 episodes as free DLC (April 8, 2022). Both are now released, completing the package. Following that, the developer has issued several bug-fix and polish patches — most recently version 2.1.0 on March 5, 2026 — keeping the game running smoothly, but these contain no new content. No further DLC, expansions, or content additions have been announced. The March 2026 patch notes mention that Skunkape spent the past year working on an entirely separate game (a remaster of Poker Night at the Inventory), which suggests the team's focus has shifted. The April 2025 sale post frames the Sam & Max trilogy as a completed set. There are no unreleased DLC entries on the store, no roadmap commitments, and no developer statements hinting at additional content for this title. The game is a complete, fully delivered product. Someone waiting for all content would have had everything available as of April 8, 2022, when the original episodes DLC launched.

About this game

Join the Freelance Police on a bizarre adventure from the North Pole to the Fountain of Youth, from outer space to Hell and back.

Sam & Max: Beyond Time and Space is a remastered version of Telltale’s second season of episodic Sam & Max games, lovingly updated by a small team of the original developers. Sam is a six-foot canine detective with a nose for justice. Max is a hyperkinetic rabbity-thing with a taste for mayhem. Together, they’re the Freelance Police—an irreverent comedy duo whose esoteric crime-fighting style has been entertaining comic book and video game fans for more than thirty years.

In this five-episode collection of interconnected cases, Sam & Max are back on the crime beat in a showdown with Santa Claus, a race to subdue a giant volcano, and a face-off with a Eurotrash vampire. And then things get even weirder.

Is paranoid shopkeeper Bosco on to something with his talk of a grand conspiracy? Is diner proprietress Stinky hiding the truth about what happened to her grandfather (also named Stinky)? Will flaky neighbor Sybil Pandemik ever find true love? Did someone say… BIRTHDAY?!

Hop into the DeSoto for a hilarious outing that won IGN’s Adventure Game of the Year award the first time around and now looks and sounds better than ever, with gorgeous HD graphics, overhauled lighting and lip-sync, finessed cinematography, remastered audio, and eight all-new musical tracks featuring live jazz musicians.

Zombies will dance. Mariachis will sing. A giant battle robot will trash the streets. And when their friends’ lives are on the line, Sam and Max will risk their very souls to set things right.

Features:

  • An adventure game that makes you laugh: Explore unexpected places, chat with eccentric characters, and tease out brain-tickling puzzles in an interactive story that has a joke hiding behind every hotspot.

  • Beautifully remastered: Lighting, lip-sync, cinematography, audio, music, and more have been updated and enhanced to bring Sam & Max’s second episodic season up to modern standards.

  • No walkthrough required: The game detects when you’re stuck and provides subtle contextual hints. Hint frequency can be customized to accommodate all playing styles.

  • Optional driving mini-games: Take the wheel of Sam & Max’s 1960 DeSoto convertible for fun diversions from the story. The hood decals and car upgrades you win carry over across episodes.

  • Localization: English voice with subtitles in English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish.
