Ultimate Sheep Raccoon will be available today on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, joining the catalog and maintaining the creative style that the studio popularized with Ultimate Chicken Horse.

The idea is still to build the level together: each player places ramps, platforms, or traps that modify the circuit before competing. What’s interesting is that the scenario is never the same, and each decision can turn the race into a real spectacle.

The game includes local and online multiplayer for eight players, making it especially attractive for these weeks when we’re looking for accessible and fun proposals to share with friends or family. It also works well in quick sessions, where each round offers a different combination of obstacles and unexpected changes. A very timely addition that arrives without warning and fits perfectly with the December atmosphere on Xbox Game Pass.
