Red Bull Playgrounds launches urban sports game

• Red Bull Playgrounds, a new athletics-themed game, is now available on iOS and Android.
• Design and conquer your own tracks through parkour, BMX, and skateboarding.
• Personalize your character and equipment while unlocking authentic moves from professional athletes.

In the world of athletics and high-octane action, few brands are as synonymous with extreme sports as Red Bull. The energy drink giant has built its reputation by organizing and sponsoring events from the whimsical Red Bull Flugtag to X-Alps, BMX races, and even its own Formula 1 team. So it's no surprise that their latest mobile venture, Red Bull Playgrounds, fully embraces this adrenaline-fueled spirit.

Red Bull Playgrounds is essentially a Trials-inspired experience where you tackle various levels using a BMX bike, skateboard, or parkour skills. While its cel-shaded visuals may not push Unreal Engine limits, the physics-driven gameplay promises plenty of hilarious wipeouts and impressive stunts.

Even better, you can create your own levels with an intuitive yet powerful editor. On top of that, you'll get to learn and deploy skills developed by real-world athletes.

Parkour!

At first glance, Red Bull Playgrounds appears to be a straightforward, though innovative, offering. However, its physics-based fun subtly incorporates the brand’s identity. For instance, you can customize your character with official gear from brands like Mongoose, BSD, and TSG—the same equipment worn by real extreme sports professionals.

Even if you're a dedicated Red Bull enthusiast, there are plenty of reasons to dive in. Real-life athletes Garrett Reynolds, Dominic Di Tommaso, and Margie Didal appear as in-game mentors, bringing their signature move sets with them.
