November 28 - December 11 ⭐

Why hop when you can ride?

Chicken gets some whacky wheels in this unique fast-paced game mode! 

The madness of Black Friday shopping has taken its toll, and Chicken’s escaped in her shopping cart chariot, streaking through the carpark at breakneck speeds. No more crossing the road: it’s Crashy Cart time!

Play this limited time event between November 28 and December 11!

⭐ Unique gameplay mode! (think Slippy Penguin & Bashy Beaver)

⭐ Roll endlessly through a shopping mall carpark!

⭐ Swipe left and right across 5 lanes to avoid oncoming trees, cars, and even other shopping carts!

⭐ Get faster and faster the further you go!

⭐ Crashed your cart? Revive yourself for a chance to keep going!

Want to be part of the coop? We’d love to have you in our Discord server!

Come chat all things Crossy Road, share your high scores, stay on top of Crossy news, and just generally hang out!

• Do I have to pay to play Crashy Cart?

  Crashy Cart is free for everyone to play until December 11!

• How do I get Crashy Cart?

  Crashy Cart is not available as a permanent character at this stage, which means you can’t keep her - so you’ll have to play Crossy Road before she leaves on December 11. Don’t miss out!

• What happened to the Hipster Whale when I load the game?

  This is the new Hipster Whale logo! We’ve had a bit of an aesthetic change, but we’re still the same studio, and will continue making the same great updates - Crossy Road as you know and love it is not going anywhere!

• How many times can I revive myself during a level?

  You can only revive yourself one time per ‘run’.

• What’s the fastest Crashy Cart can go?

  We dare you to find out!

• Are there any secrets in this update?

  Not this time! We’d love to know what’s in Mallard‘s bags, though.

Hop through a bustling Airport in the newest destination for Crossy Road!

Attention, travellers! Flight CHKN to Crossy Road Central is now boarding. Please ensure you have your boarding pass ready! 

In this update, passengers will be able to explore a whole new environment while dodging hazards both inside and outside of the airport. Weave through conveyor belts and security scanners; hop past wayward aircraft on the tarmac; and then you might just make it…

The Airport event runs September 17 - October 14. Don’t miss your flight!

New characters

Hello, passengers! This is your Pilot speaking. Between September 17 and October 14, I’ll be available for free to all players as an introduction to the new Airport world!

All other characters will be available in the prize machine, or for purchase outright, with new characters released each week.

WEEK ONE: 17 SEPTEMBER

WEEK TWO: 24 SEPTEMBER

WEEK THREE: 1 OCTOBER

WEEK FOUR: 8 OCTOBER

• Are these characters free?

  Airport World characters are available in the Prize Machine and as an In-App Purchase. Only the Pilot character will be free, and only for the time of the campaign!

• How long will the Pilot be free?

  The Pilot character will be free until the end of the campaign, on October 15. After that you’ll need to get him either from the Prize Machine or as an In-App Purchase.

• How long will the Airport characters be available?

  Once they’re released, they will be available for you to get at any time! There aren’t any limited characters in this update.

• Are there any secret characters in this update?

  Maybe 👀

• I went through the X-ray scanner and it killed me!

  That’s correct. You should never go through a baggage X-ray scanner. It’s dangerous! ☝😤

• Are there token unlock characters in this update?

  Not this time!

Other updates

QoL update: character info banner!

We’ve also added a small Quality of Life update that we know some of you have been requesting!

Much harder to get lost crossing the road now.

“After living for nearly 100 years on this planet, I now understand the most important place on Earth is not on land…but at sea.”
Sir David Attenborough

It’s no surprise we all have a bit of a soft spot for the ocean here at Hipster Whale! Recently we teamed up with the amazing crew at Take 3 for the Sea for Green Game Jam 2025, to create an event that would make waves both in-game and IRL in helping ocean critters big and small.

Take 3’s message is simple: take 3 pieces of rubbish with you every time you visit a beach, park or waterway. It’s an easy action that anyone can do — and when enough people join in, it adds up to a big difference for our oceans and marine life.

To bring this mission to life, we launched the Crossy Clean-Up Collectathon: a limited-time event in Crossy Road where players collect pieces of plastic waste in-game in exchange for daily rewards. It was truly amazing to see our community members interact with the Collectathon’s message, going out and collecting trash themselves, and discussing the real-world impact of humans on our two new in-game characters (the Hermit Crab and the Blob Fish).

Your Impact

The best part of this update? Thanks to the support of our players, we were able to contribute to Take 3 for the Sea which enabled them to:

🦀 Remove 25,000 pieces of trash from the environment
🦀 Provide 80 clean-up kits to community-led events
🦀 Fund new online learning resources that will reach thousands of students

A huge thank you to everyone who picked up virtual trash, spread the word, or took three pieces (or more!) in real life.

A Real Life Crossy Clean-Up!

It’s important to live by our words, of course - so earlier this month, we headed to the beautiful shores of St Kilda Beach for a big beach clean-up!

Armed with trash bags and winter jackets to fend off the cold, we hit the sand to pick up as much rubbish as we could find. 

Despite the brisk breeze and some close encounters with scary seagulls (just like in Crossy Road!), we managed to collect quite a few bags of rubbish. We found food wrappers, foam packaging, drink bottles, and fishing nets - to be honest, we were quite shocked by how much we were able to collect in just a short amount of time! 

We invited other studios to join us in Taking 3 for the Sea, and some absolute legends took the challenge! Earthwise Games headed to the beach near their studio in beautiful Mauritius, and the Hungry Shark team at Ubisoft cleaned up the shores of Barcelona. Champions!

The power is yours!

Now it’s your turn, Crossy Crew! If you’re out and about these Summer holidays, don’t forget to take three pieces of rubbish and keep our oceans beautiful! 

⭐️ Bonus challenge: Before disposing of your clean-up haul in the bin, snap a quick pic of it and tag us (@crossyroad), #GreenGameJam2025, and #Take3ForTheSea!

Notice something different? A new and improved Ocean World is now live, along with some general quality-of-life updates that some of you have been requesting! But before we get into the details - behold, the main event:

Crossy Clean-Up Collectathon

The Crossy Clean-Up Collectathon is the main event of our Green Game Jam 2025 update, and it will be running from June 5th - 15th! 

Clean up the sea and collect trash to earn new rewards daily, including two new marine friends for your collection:

Hermit Crab

Firstly, let’s all just agree that the main role of the Hermit Crab is to be super cute - but what’s more, you can also collect various shells and found objects to change the appearance of its “home” as you explore Ocean World! 

Players will be able to unlock the Hermit Crab on the very first day of the Collectathon, and it will be available in the Prize Machine even after the event has finished.

Blob Fish

Did you know that the Blob Fish doesn’t actually look like that in its natural habitat? As a deep-sea creature, it literally thrives under pressure; this squelchy appearance that we’re used to is the result of it being pulled by humans out of its home environment deep below, where the pressure is 60 to 120 times greater!

The Blob Fish will be unlockable from the final day of the Collectathon, on June 15th. Like the Hermit Crab, it will also be available in the Prize Machine after the event has finished.

Ocean World reef-fresh

For this event, we’ve also given our Ocean World a major glow up to make it easier and more fun to play, with more to see and enjoy!

Why did we update Ocean World? 

Ocean World was first released in 2018 - quite a while ago! We’ve received a lot of player feedback since then, and here are some of the ways we’ve tried to address it with this update.

Ocean World was very dark. Some players were finding it too difficult to see as the background was so dark.

⭐️ Updated: Colours throughout the world have been adjusted to better reflect cool underwater blues. Lighting changes further enhance the effect, including the additions of dappled lighting and light beams.

The art was confusing. It wasn’t always immediately obvious whether something was a harmless decoration, or if it was something that could hurt you.

⭐️ Updated: The various sea life you'll run into have also been given a few new additions and a splash of colour, with bright vibrant corals and creatures to discover.

Inadequate warning for shark swarms. In Ocean World, swift sharks take the place of trains. Small schools of fish running away from the shark warn you they are coming, but not all players found this easy to see or understand.

⭐️ Updated: We have updated this visual cue to give more warning that the sharks are on their way.

Confusing log boundaries. it was pretty difficult to see where the jellyfish “logs” in Ocean World would reach the edge of the screen, meaning a lot of unexpected deaths for players. 

⭐️ Updated: Various features, like bubbles and better-defined world edges, have been added to help players navigate this amazing underwater World.

Quality-of-life updates

Outside of the Ocean world reef-fresh, we’ve also added some frequently requested quality-of-life updates!

⭐️ Music and SFX can now be individually toggled OFF in Settings!

⭐️ You can also opt to turn off the screen shake feature!

⭐️ The game’s background audio now dims slightly when you’re visiting other tabs (e.g. Collection, Store tabs)

What’s next?

➡ Update Crossy Road on World Environment Day (June 5th) when the Crossy Clean-Up Collectathon goes live!

➡ Stay tuned to our Discord, TikTok, and Instagram, where we’ll be running some community activations in the spirit of this update!

➡ Got any more questions? Join our Discord and ask us!

What do you get when you take two classic endless games and mix them together? 

Crossy Road and Subway Surfers collide for the first time ever in an adrenaline-packed crossy-over event! From March 31st to May 11th, this epic collaboration will be dropping in both Crossy Road and Subway Surfers.

Throughout the three-week crossover, both games will offer players special events and unlockable content. In Crossy Road, play in an all-new Subway Surfers World that brings Jake, Tricky, and the rest of the crew on an adventure alongside the iconic cast of Crossy Road. Explore familiar Subway Surfers gameplay
and mechanics, including jetpack rides and magnets.

Subway Surfers’ players will have access to the Crossy Road Challenge where they can run to extend their time and win limited-edition rewards, including Crossy Road-themed characters Chicken Jake and Mallard Tricky.

New World: Subway City

In the new Subway Surfers World, Jake’s in town and the grumpy Guard is hot on your tail feathers as you scramble over endless tracks and on top of passing trains.

Pick up the new Subway Tokens, which you can trade for exclusive Subway Surfers characters & cosmetics. There will be a total of 11 new characters to collect, two of which are exclusively time-limited to the duration of the event, so get running!

New feature: Pickups

Wait…did we say Hoverboards? We sure did. Just like in Subway Surfers, picking up a Hoverboard essentially gives you an extra “life”. Fall off? Pick yourself up and keep on rolling.

Other pickups include the Magnet, which makes collecting coins effortless, and a Jetpack to shoot you high up into the skies where you can collect extra tokens and see the world from a bird’s eye view. Turns out chickens can fly after all.

New feature: Revive

If you fail your run in this update, don’t despair; you can choose to watch an ad to give you a free ‘life’ and continue from where you left off! If you already have the Ad Block pack, this mechanic will still work - it will just be a lot faster, as you won’t have to watch any ads.

This is the first time we’ve added a revive feature to Crossy Road, so we’d love to know your thoughts on it!

New Characters & Cosmetics Every Week!

There will be new characters and cosmetics to trade & unlock each week, so don’t forget to keep checking in!

Week 1 (March 31)

There’s a new troublemaker in town! All players are given the new Jake skin for FREE, which lets them access the new Subway City world.Additionally, you can trade Subway Tokens for Ella and Tagbot, and two new hoverboard cosmetics.

Week 2 (April 7)

Jake’s influence is starting to rub off on the Crossy Road universe, and in Week 2 you can get the unique Jake Chicken - a strictly limited-time character that you can only unlock with Subway Tokens during our Subway Surfers event. After that, she’s gone forever; you won’t even be able to get her via the Prize Machine, so grab Jake Chicken while you can! You’ll also be able to acquire Skye and two new hoverboard cosmetics via the Subway Shop.

Week 3 (April 14)

The final batch of new characters has come to town! The Subway Shop now has Akira, Frank, and another two new hoverboard cosmetics.

You’ll also be able to grab Boombot as a completion reward once you’ve unlocked all previous characters and hoverboards from the event. Like Jake Chicken, Boombot is also a time-limited character, and won’t be available after the event at all.

The event will be available in Crossy Road until May 11th to give you a chance to collect everything!

Community Activities

We’re also running several activities throughout the month, including special themed challenges and contests. Now’s the perfect time to join our Discord and stay across all these events!

This special character is our tribute to Crossy Road’s history and all the colorful and adventurous worlds that we’ve released over the years.

The Chicken character has always been at the heart of Crossy Road, and her many iterations have been fan favorite collectables since the game was originally released way back in 2014.

We have over 30 unique Chicken characters in the game to collect each with their own world or special effect in the game! How many are in your collection?

So what makes the Inter-dimensional Chicken so unique? We wanted to let you explore more Worlds in one run.

You’ll notice a vibrant rainbow barrier as you play, which is where the magic happens. Every time you cross through the rainbow, you’ll hop right into a new world!

We played with ideas of portals and doors but eventually settled on the rainbow barrier that lets you know when you’ve about to enter a different world.

Grab inter-dimensional Chicken for FREE and go on a world crossing journey through the landscapes of Crossy Road!

Hop on and don’t get lost, there’s lots to do at the Theme Park!

It’s our 10 year anniversary and what better way to celebrate than a trip to a Crossy Theme Park!  A Crossyland filled with all the things you’d expect at the theme park from queues of people waiting to get on rides to popcorn vendors with the latest in questionable snackage.

Ideas for content were abundant from the get go for this update and an empty whiteboard quickly overflowed with ideas for a colorful, delicious, joy filled experience that would be a feast for the senses.  

The hardest part was trimming so many favorites into the best bits that would make a believable and whimsical environment for you to enjoy!

What can you expect in Theme Park World?

Hop into the Theme Park through a gigantic Crossy Archway and enter a world of joyful crowds, icecream vendors, ferris wheels, lost children, overwhelmed parents, fans in costume, cheerful mascots and non-stop fun. Thrilling rides, vibrant colors and mouthwatering sights of cotton candy, popcorn and sizzling snacks. Enough to make us hungry!

After the staggered content release was well received for Farm World, we’ve decided to continue that model with new characters being released over the next 5 weeks. Starting off with the release of Theme Park World, we’re running three events over the course of this update including Enter the Crossyverse and the Collectathon. O.0 More information on these events will come soon!

This week’s characters are Balloon Kid (FREE!), Mallard Mascot and Tour Guide and perhaps a few more for the eagle eyed among you!

There are a tonne of new environment details and effects to explore including:

• Zigzagging bumper cars

• Zooming rollercoasters

• Merry go rounds

• Hotdog and popcorn stands

• Carnival floats

• Swan boats

We hope you have as much fun playing it as we had making it.
