Crossy Road Rush will launch on Apple Arcade on November 5. The new Hipster Whale game turns the familiar Crossy Road characters into racers tackling traps, rails, walls and other hazards across a colorful island.
The official App Store listing describes quick obstacle-course runs built for short sessions. Players chase away an Octoboss, rescue characters and restore Crossy Cove while trying to maintain combos and avoid wipeouts.
The game will support local and online cooperative play for up to four players. A shared life pool lets teammates carry one another through difficult sections, while global leaderboards track high scores for players who prefer competition.

Characters, challenges and supported devices
Crossy Road Rush will launch with 16 characters, 40 hats and 12 boards to collect. Daily Survival Mode runs add rotating quests every 24 hours, and Hipster Whale says themed islands, seasonal events and new challenges will follow after release.
The listing names iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV support, along with Game Center, SharePlay and compatible game controllers. It requires iOS 17.2, iPadOS 17.2, macOS 14, tvOS 17 or visionOS 2, depending on the device.
Like other Apple Arcade releases, the game is included with the subscription rather than sold through in-app upgrades. Players can add it from the Arcade section before November 5 to receive a notification when it becomes available.
The App Store lists a 1GB download size before release, though that figure can change as the developer updates the final build and adds post-launch content.
