Developed by Avalanche Studios and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, it was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in September 2015 . Feral Interactive published the game's macOS and Linux versions . In the game, players control Max Rockatansky as he progresses through the wasteland building a vehicle, his "Magnum Opus", to do battle with a gang of raiders, led by Scabrous Scrotus, and to reach the storied "Plains of Silence", where he hopes to find peace . Mad Max emphasizes vehicular combat, in which players can use weapon and armor upgrades on their car to fight enemies . It is set in an open post-apocalyptic wasteland consisting of deserts, canyons, and caves . </P> <P> Two other Mad Max games, developed by Cory Barlog and Interplay Entertainment respectively, were in production before the announcement of this game, but neither of them were successfully released . Although Mad Max is not based on the film series, it was inspired by its universe, and franchise creator George Miller was consulted during the game's pre-production . Avalanche Studios found developing a vehicular - combat video game a challenge because of their inexperience with creating that type of game . Announced at the 2013 Electronic Entertainment Expo, the game was re-tooled during development and the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions were canceled . </P>
