New Crossy Road game announced as an Apple Arcade exclusive

Apple Arcade, the gaming subscription service, will debut a new installment titled Crossy Road Rush starting November 5. This expanded arcade island adventure is available exclusively for Apple Arcade subscribers and includes both solo and four-player multiplayer racing modes. The game, created by Hipster Whale, maintains the beloved Crossy Road aesthetic and gameplay elements, but adds an adventure-focused structure with combat, exploration, and multiplayer features.

According to Crossy Road's YouTube channel, players will "swerve, spin, smash and survive an arcade island adventure with the Crossy Road Crew. Chase away an angry Octoboss from peaceful Crossy Cove, free your friends, and restore the island vibes!" The game can be pre-ordered now and will launch at 4:00 p.m. PST on November 5. Apple Arcade subscribers are able to reserve the game now, and it will be available to all subscribers at launch.

This announcement follows a recent addition of five new titles to Apple Arcade, including Pusheen's Place, River City Survivors, Terraria+, Touchgrind BMX 2+, and 4 Pics 1 Word+. Apple Arcade is a standalone service, priced at $6.99 per month, or it can be included in the Apple One bundle. The platform currently offers over 200 games without any ads or in-app purchases.
