Crossy Road Rush Debuts on Apple Arcade as a Freeform Endless Runner

Hipster Whale chose Apple Arcade to prioritise a premium family-friendly player experience.

Overview

  • Crossy Road Rush, which launched Thursday, November 5, 2026, is available now exclusively on Apple Arcade.
  • The game replaces the franchise’s lane-based hopping with freeform side-to-side movement to create a faster, reflex-driven endless-runner.
  • Rush ships with more than 50 handcrafted levels, daily challenges, and both local co-op and online multiplayer for up to four players.
  • Hipster Whale developed the title through iterative prototyping and cites arcade and platforming influences such as SSX3, Donkey Kong Country, and the original Crash Bandicoot.
  • The studio says it will keep experimenting with new Crossy Road projects but has not announced any plans to release Rush on platforms beyond Apple Arcade, leaving Android and non-subscriber players excluded for now.
