The sequel to tinyBuild’s beloved competitive platformer is here. SpeedRunners 2: King of Speed launched on September 3, 2026, bringing its fast-paced parkour-style races to Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Game Pass for PC and consoles. Developed by Fair Play Labs, the studio behind Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2, the game picks up where the original left off and pushes the formula considerably further.
At its core, SpeedRunners 2 is a chaotic 2D racing game built around precise movement mechanics, grappling hooks, speed boosters, and a roster of power-ups designed to keep opponents on the back foot. Up to eight players can compete online across 16 map layouts, while a 64-player elimination tournament mode adds a competitive layer that the original never offered. Alongside the multiplayer mayhem, there’s a single-player campaign set in New Rush City, complete with boss fights and an expansive storyline that builds on the first game’s story. Twelve playable characters, dozens of unlockable cosmetics, ranked play, local multiplayer, and a suite of experimental “Playground” modes round out a package that looks to keep players occupied well beyond launch.
The list of power-ups is worth highlighting. Returning favorites like fireballs, freeze rays, and golden hooks sit alongside new additions including blasters and handheld teleporters, giving matches a layer of unpredictability that should keep things fresh during extended sessions. The movement system, described as fluid and demanding, rewards players who invest time in mastering momentum and map knowledge, although the original’s accessibility suggests the barrier to entry won’t be steep.
As for pricing, PC gamers can purchase SpeedRunners 2 on Steam for $9.99, with a 10% introductory discount available for a limited time. Console players will pay $14.99, with a 20% discount at launch (PlayStation Plus subscription required to receive discount on PS5). Owners of the original SpeedRunners on any platform can save an additional 10% by purchasing the sequel on that same platform. PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers and Xbox users also have access to a one-hour free trial, which is a useful way to test the waters before committing.
For those who grew up with the original SpeedRunners, this feels like a significant step forward rather than just a redesign. More information is available at speedrunners.comand the game can be followed on Twitter/X and Discord for news and updates as it happens.
