Outright Games and Dr. Seuss Enterprises today celebrate the launch of The Grinch 2: Saving Christmas, a brand-new 3D platforming adventure that invites players to join the Grinch and his loyal companion Max on a festive mission to bring Christmas cheer to Who-ville. Available now on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, the game brings the humor, heart and mischievous spirit of the beloved Christmas icon to life in an all-new mission designed for the whole family. Watch the Launch Trailer here:

The launch trailer, narrated by Cindy-Lou Who, gives players a glimpse of the festive fun ahead as the Grinch prepares for Who-ville’s annual Christmas tree contest. With the big day fast approaching, players search for ornaments and decorations throughout their quest, calling on a trio of grinchy gadgets to get out of a tight spot along the way: pick up a burst of speed on the Rocket Skates, soar over hazards with the Jetpack, or freeze troublesome foes with the Snowball Maker.

Players can explore 23 festive levels across four magical worlds, including Who-ville, Mt. Crumpit, Who Wood and the Grinch’s Cave. Play solo, or team up with a friend or family member in local co-op, with one player taking on the role of Max. Working together, the Grinch and Max can combine their unique abilities to navigate each level, overcome obstacles and uncover hidden surprises along the way.

With accessible gameplay designed for players of all ages, The Grinch 2: Saving Christmas offers families a festive activity to enjoy together, combining exploration, platforming and Christmas-themed challenges with the mischievous humor of one of the world’s most iconic holiday characters.

Robin Flodin, CEO of Outright Games Group, said: “The Grinch 2: Saving Christmas is here! We’re incredibly excited for families to jump into this brand-new adventure, explore Who-ville and beyond, and experience the festive fun as the Grinch and Max. We hope the game brings plenty of laughter, mischievous moments and unforgettable Christmas memories for families to share together this holiday season.”

Since first appearing in Dr. Seuss’s beloved 1957 classic How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, the Grinch has become a global Christmas icon, delighting generations through books, film, television and stage adaptations. The Grinch 2: Saving Christmas continues that legacy with a new interactive experience that brings the character and his world to life for a new generation of players.

The Grinch 2: Saving Christmas is available now on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
