Apple acquires Sneaky Sasquatch dev RAC7

Apple has acquired Sneaky Sasquatch developer RAC7.

As reported by Digital Trends, the tech firm saw this as “an opportunity to help the team grow its game more on Apple Arcade.” Sneaky Sasquatch was a launch title for Apple’s subscription-based games service, which launched in September 2019.

“We love Sneaky Sasquatch and are excited that the two-person RAC7 team has joined Apple to continue their work on it with us,” an Apple spokesperson said.

“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.”

Apple said it will continue to support third-party studios for Apple Arcade, and described its RAC7 acquisition as a “unique circumstance.”

However, Bloomberg reported that the company is reportedly “planning a dedicated app for video games on its devices” later this year.

It’s said to be a “launcher for titles” and a way to “centralise in-game achievements, leaderboards, communications, and other activity.” Apple declined to comment about the potential app to Bloomberg.

According to Bloomberg, the app may be revealed during Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference on June 9, 2025.

Apple declined to comment about the reported launcher when contacted by Bloomberg.
