11-Year Early Access Run Nears End for Quirky Physics Game Amazing Frog
Swindon, England – amazing Frog, a physics-based sandbox game from independent developer Fayju, is poised to leave early access after over eleven years. Originally announced on November 20th, 2014, the title entered early access on Steam in 2022, following a lengthy development period. Fayju anticipates launching the 1.0 version of Amazing Frog later this year or in early 2026, though they’ve also stated their intention to “keep updating the game forever.”
The game, playfully dubbed “Grand Frog auto” by its creators, allows players to control a frog navigating a virtual recreation of Swindon, England, engaging in chaotic, physics-driven gameplay. While comparisons to RockstarS Grand Theft Auto series have been made, Fayju positions Amazing Frog closer in spirit to the deliberately absurd Goat Simulator.
Amazing Frog features a wide range of activities, from utilizing a giant toilet to traveling to the moon and battling sharks. Currently available on Steam Early Access and the Xbox Game Preview program, the game supports up to four players in local splitscreen. The title has garnered positive user reviews during its early access phase, offering a unique option for players awaiting the release of Grand Theft Auto 6.
