Developed by Angel Matrix and published by Annapurna Interactive, Neon White was released on June 16, 2022. It is a speedrunning single-player FPS where players parkour through various structures toward their end goal.

The game received rave reviews, with Sportskeeda awarding it a 9 out of 10. The game was praised for its brilliant level designs, exceptional replay values, energetic soundtrack, vibrant art style, and unique Soul Card mechanic.

Talking to Sportskeeda, Ben Esposito of Angel Matrix described the title's influences as:

"Neon White's presentation is highly influenced by Y2K-era video games and anime. It's meant to be the most 'video-game' video game we could possibly make."

The game received a nomination for Best Debut and Best Design at the 23rd Game Developers Choice Awards. It is available on Windows PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5.
