Ultimate Sackboy

Beta

Ultimate Sackboy is an upcoming mobile runner game for iOS and Android devices. It is currently in early access in select regions for Android devices only. It is the second mobile game in the LittleBigPlanet series since Run Sackboy Run.

History
Ultimate Sackboy is known to have been in early access on the Google Play Store at least as early as April 2021. Sony XDEV Product Development Director Pete Smith on May 6th responded to a comment about the game, stating that it "is just early access at this stage. Expect news as we approach full launch in the future." Pete Smith also confirmed that the game would later be supported by iOS devices. Because it is still in early access, all elements of the game are subject to change before launch.

Gameplay
Ultimate Sackboy is much like other similar mobile runners like Run Sackboy Run, Crash On The Run, Sonic Dash, and Subway Surfers. Its microtransaction and advertising-based gameplay mechanics suggest that it will be free to play. The game is structured with races against another character or player on a finite course. The player to get the most points before the end of the course wins.

Wardrobe
Similar to previous games, the game features customization for your Sackboy. You can earn costume pieces by opening sacks earned in races, or by completing the daily races to earn one costume piece the next day. Costume pieces can be leveled up by using crafting materials and duplicate costume pieces.

Currency
There appear to be at least two types of currency in the game, coins and gems. Gems appear to be the paid microtransaction currency, while coins are a common currency awarded at the end of races. Coins can be used to pay an entry fee to participate in races.
