King has announced Crash Bandicoot: On the Run is being shut down in early 2023.

The endless runner game is shutting down on February 16th, 2023. In-app purchases have already been shut off, and any remaining purple crystals owned by players can be spent from now until the shutoff date.

Crash Bandicoot: On the Rrun was originally released back in early 2021 for iOS (via the App Store) and Android (via Google Play).

Here’s the word from King on the game’s closure:

Crash fans, it’s with a heavy heart that we inform you on February 16, 2023 we will terminate service for Crash Bandicoot: On the Run.

On that date the servers will be taken down and the game will no longer be playable.

From December 19 2022 all in-app purchases will be turned off. For any purchases made, you will have until February 16, 2023 to make use of associated purple crystals in-game.

It has meant so much to bring your favourite Crash characters to life and we’ve sincerely loved making this game. Thank you for spending your time with us and we hope you will join us in one of our many other games.
