Apple-owned Sneaky Sasquatch getting expansion, Apple Store tie-ins

Sneaky Sasquatch has been one of Apple Arcade’s most popular titles for years, and Apple has just announced a new update and special Apple Store experiences coming.

New Sneaky Sasquatch experiences coming from Apple this month

Today alongside debuting Apple Arcade’s lineup of new games coming next month, Apple also announced new offerings related to hit game Sneaky Sasquatch.

Sneaky Sasquatch is a unique title in many ways. Most notably because unlike most Arcade games, it’s actually owned 100% by Apple.

Apple acquired the studio behind the game earlier this year, saying the purchase would enable the developers to continue growing and expanding the Sneaky Sasquatch IP.

Lasts month we saw some evidence of that via a new iMessage sticker pack that launched, and the game has continued getting updated regularly with new content.

The latest expansions are right around the corner, and they’re two-fold:

  1. Sneaky Sasquatch is getting a new update next week that expands farming-related offerings
  2. And the game will start appearing in Apple Stores in unique ways

Recently Sneaky Sasquatch got a big farming expansion, and on Tuesday, December 16, more is coming:

the new Harvest to Harbor update [adds] the ability to grow and harvest mushrooms, and a dynamic new Crop Market. Players will monitor peak prices, strategically sell their harvests, and maximize profits, just as any clever Sasquatch would.

Apple The Grove in Los Angeles is getting a new interactive installation December 12-13, where attendees can “snap a photo with Sasquatch, find hidden items for special prizes, and indulge in treats by the campfire.”

Additionally, select Apple Stores worldwide are launching a new Today at Apple session: Kids: Draw with Sneaky Sasquatch. There will also be in-store dance parties themed to the game.

You can download Sneaky Sasquatch here on the App Store.

Apple Arcade is available as a standalone service for $6.99/month or included in the Apple One bundle. It offers access to over 200 games with no ads or in-app purchases.
