Apple acquires RAC7, game studio behind the popular Sneaky Sasquatch game
Apple has purchased game studio RAC7, the two-person studio behind Sneaky Sasquatch, according to Digital Trends.
The article notes that this is the first time that Apple has acquired a video game studio in its history, but the company describes the move as a unique situation. RAC7 is a two-person studio whose previous credits include indie titles Dark Echo and Splitter Critters. In 2019, the team released Sneaky Sasquatch as an Apple Arcade exclusive.
The adventure game was a breakout hit among the service’s 71 launch titles, according to Apple, and it has received regular updates since launch. Now, the team will continue its partnership with Apple as an internal studio.
“We love Sneaky Sasquatch and are excited that the 2-person RAC7 team has joined Apple to continue their work on it with us,” an Apple spokesperson tells Digital Trends. “We will continue to deliver a great experience for Apple Arcade players with hundreds of games from many of the best game developers in the world.”
