Snowboard racer SLOPECRASHERS shreds its way onto Consoles (XBOX, PLAYSTATION, SWITCH)
on August 7th

FOR DISTRIBUTION ON JULY 23TH AT 6PM GMT/10AM PST/1PM EST

STUNTS. COMBOS. BOOST. REPEAT!

Go fast or go home in this chaotic, yet satisfying snowboarding game powered by next-level arcade physics! Pick your favorite animal, give them a fancy hat (or a horse mask?) and hop onto the snowy mountains (or into the desert).

 
Linz, Austria - 23rd July, 2025 - It might be the hottest time of the year, so what’s better than grabbing a chicken, putting them onto a RGB keyboard shaped snowboard and sending them down the slopes! The studio byteparrot is super HYPED to finally bring the chaotic arcade snowboarding racer Slopecrashers to ALL THE CONSOLES!!! (with cross play multiplayer between all consoles and the steam version)
 
Proud participant in ZLAN 2024 (organised by celebrity streamer ZeratoR), amassing over 5 million views on TikTok, and showcased in various events throughout the years, this easy-to-start, exhilarating-to-master arcade snowboarder is inspired by legendary kart racers and snowboarding games of generations past. With its custom physics engine fine-tuned for momentum based movement, grab a snowboard (or a frying pan), hit the slopes as a crew of cartoon animals - and find creative ways down the mountains, and triumph in local split screen and online multiplayer.

Stunts, combos, boost - repeat! In Slopecrashers, arcade snowboarding is BACK with everything built around its next-level physics engine. Build speed by chaining together risky tricks and dash forward when your speedboost is charged. Did you miscalculate a jump? No worries, if you picked a gadget like a glider, a jetpack, rocket thrusters or a grappling hook, you can (in most cases) get back to safety. Did you not equip such a gadget? Then say goodbye to your favorite penguin as it is falling down the side of the mountain. 🕊️ 
 
Master the snowboard, perfect your grinds and use your gadgets to become the ultimate legendary skiing raccoon in a penguin mask - or play dirty! Pick up and deploy combat items, from explosive pigeons to swarms of bees, and ensure nice guys really do finish last.
 
So bring it on, grandma! Accessible for racers young and old with automatically enabled helper tools and selectable speedclasses and difficulty, take on friends and family alike in multiplayer modes. Just like the good old days, Slopecrashers is designed with up to four player local split screen even in campaign mode, so pick from more than eight fully customisable cartoon animals (chicken, lemur, parrot, capybara… just imagine our veterinary bills...) and go toe to toe. Claw to claw. Beak to beak?

And do not worry! - if you’ve decided to embrace the Information Superhighway, duke it out in online multiplayer for up to eight players! *dial-up noises* Do I hear cross play? *more dial-up noises* YESS!! Join your friends on PC or another console, and play the campaign or competitive events together / or well, against each other.

What if I don’t have any friends? Fear not, the wild crew of animals are here for you in a globetrotting campaign mode featuring a villainous hamster on a revenge mission for not getting accepted to the friend group (maybe the hamster can be your friend?).

Play one of several grand prix tournaments or tailor your experience and hop into arcade mode. Experiment with a wild assortment of event types (including slaloms, races with or without items, stuntshows, and boss battles against the evil hamster’s big snowman robot) and choose your course from seven different worlds, from classic snowy tundras to a tropical jungle and a neon cyberpunk city. Each boasts two to four individual maps.

And unlock a HUGE variety of new boards, new grappling hooks, gliders, skins and tons of hats and outfits for all the animals and find out the answers for important questions like: Can a turtle be a snowboard? Or: How many pigeons do you need to carry an entire penguin?
