The ultimate competitive platformer is back!
Outrun, outjump and outsmart your rivals in cutthroat online and local races for up to eight players. Master your movement, conquer expertly crafted maps, use powerful pick-ups, and swing around with a grappling hook. Run like your life depends on it – just don't get knocked off-screen!
The original SpeedRunners, developed by DoubleDutchGames and officially released in 2016 and has grown into a party-game hit with a thriving community, and over 10 million players since launch. Dubbed the ‘Mario Kart of 2D platformers,’ it still has an active tournament scene going strong today.
tinyBuild and developer Fair Play Labs are thrilled to announce that SpeedRunners 2: King of Speed will launch on September 3 for Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch.
It will also be available on day one on Xbox Game Pass for PC and consoles.
...and more!
Sign-ups for a Steam Playtest are now live. The test will begin in the weeks leading up to release.
