Grab your best bud for help in this new co-op challenge to help two adorable penguins, Bread and Fred, reach the top of the snowy summit.

Bread & Fred is a challenging co-op platformer where two players must cooperate to jump and climb to the top of a snowy mountain. Play as both Bread and Fred in their exasperating and sometimes maddening climb that requires precision with every jump. Each time you land you’ll be closer to the peak and one step closer to mastering the platforming, but your fall down the mountain will be even farther.

Grab a joy-con and experience the breathtaking highs and frosty face-planting lows of Bread & Fred on the go, with even more adventure awaiting atop the icy peaks! Meet the newest member of the mountaintop crew, Pol the Polar Bear. Race Pol to the finish line in 10 all-new time trial challenges to unlock special rewards.

Bundle up for the tandem-trek of a lifetime as Bread and Fred, pint-sized penguin pals, embark on a journey to the top of the summit. Intrepid climbers land heart-pounding jumps, clear sprawling gaps, and maneuver slippery platforms, all while attached at the hip to a (hopefully) trusty partner. Communicate via in-game emojis to count down every jump. 

Infogrames announced the acquisition of the Bread & Fred publishing rights in an agreement with Apogee Entertainment.

Bread & Fred released for PC on Steam on May 23, 2023 where it garnered positive industry and player reviews. Exactly a year later, on May 23, 2024 a version was released for the Nintendo Switch. Infogrames will work with the Sand Castles Studio to bring more content and updates to the game, as well as extend the offering to the PlayStation and Xbox platforms in the coming months.

Bread & Fred rose from the indie ranks, representing a level of success that is possible with a small, talented team with a passionate vision." said Scott Miller, CEO of Apogee. "We see this property as having many years of success ahead of it, expanding its appeal with new characters, gameplay modes, and its unique style of rage humor that has led to 10's of millions of views on TikTok and other platforms.”

Bread & Fred is a rare gem that casual gamers can sit down and enjoy with their hardcore platforming friends,” said Infogrames Manager, Geoffroy Châteauvieux. “This is a great opportunity for Infogrames to publish a successful game and help continue to grow its loyal fan base by expanding distribution. We are looking forward to continuing to work with Sand Castles Studio to support Bread & Fred’s long term development plans.”
