Disney Crossy Road, our trusty sidekick in those wee hours, waiting in lines, or just burning time – is now gone, buried in the graveyard of shutdown apps. ConclusionĪnd so, as we hit the finish line of this pixelated tale, we find ourselves in a sort of digital mourning. Personally, I think that they want to focus on other projects, that make more sense for them (in terms of profit and long-term potential). However, closing a successful game would make no sense at all. Most of the player base did not unlock all of the +700 characters at that time too, and the worst thing is that they can not play anymore after March 12th. Players were shocked about the announcement of Disney Crossy Road shutting down, as they loved the game. The game was not that old eighter (only 4 years), and we can assume they also made quite some profit through in-game purchases or other advertisement strategies.

But why was Disney Crossy Road shut down? So, Disney Crossy Road will not receive any more updates, but luckily, they still keep up the support for the game. Please note that Disney is not responsible for providing refunds or credits for any virtual items, in-game currency, or other items that may be no longer available once a game is shut down.” You will still be able to play the game until March 12th, 2020. “As a valued player, we want to let you know that in-app purchases are no longer available in this product, and the product will not be available for download after today. If you did open the game before the shutdown, you would get a message from the development team, where they give you some information: At this time, we could unlock 714 known playable characters across 23 franchises (Disney and Pixar). The last update that DCR received was the DuckTales Update (Version 3.2), where we can play with iconic characters like Donald Duck, Scrooge McDuck, or Darkwing Duck. However, the game got shut down on Match 12th in 2020 by Disney.

Like in the original game Crossy Road, we can play with many different characters, but this time from the Disney and Pixar universe. Thanks to a collaboration between Hipster Whale and Disney, a spin-off game called Disney Crossy Road got released on March 28th 2016.
