A bold new step for crash gaming
Million Games is heading to ICE 2026 with its most ambitious release so far — Chicken X & Friends. The game is a real-time, unlimited multiplayer crash experience and the official sequel to the award-nominated hit Chicken X.
Set on a chaotic multi-lane highway, the game brings back the fan-favourite Jack Chicken. However, this time he is not alone. Players enter a shared, always-on playground where gameplay never stops. There are no sessions to wait for and no lobbies to fill. Instead, players can jump in instantly and start playing at any moment.
As a result, the experience feels fast, social, and constantly alive.
Unlimited real-time multiplayer gameplay
Chicken X & Friends introduces a genre-first feature for crash games: unlimited real-time multiplayer.
Players see each other live on screen as they dodge traffic, build multipliers, and decide when to cash out before the crash hits. Because everything happens in real time, every decision feels more intense and more visible.
“This is a big moment for us,” said Thomas Nimstad, CEO at Million Games. “Crash games are built on tension and timing. With Chicken X & Friends, we’ve made that tension social. You’re watching other players make decisions live, not just a multiplier climbing.”
By adding visible competition, Million Games pushes the crash format into a more strategic and engaging direction.
Player choice at the core of gameplay
Gameplay unfolds across multiple traffic lanes, and each lane comes with a unique risk-and-reward profile.
Slower lanes offer lighter traffic and steadier multiplier growth. In contrast, faster lanes increase volatility with heavier traffic, but multipliers rise much quicker. Because of this, players must constantly decide how much risk they are willing to take.
Players can:
- Stay in safer lanes
- Push into high-risk lanes
- Switch lanes as traffic patterns change
Every jump matters, and every decision impacts the potential payout.
Additionally, safe zones provide a short break from traffic. However, they are not a permanent escape. If players stay too long, the game automatically cashes them out. This keeps the pace fast and the pressure high.
Movement is simple and intuitive. Players control Jack Chicken using taps or directional buttons, allowing instant reactions as danger approaches.
Always social, always competitive
Up to eight players appear live on screen in each public playground. Your character is represented by Jack Chicken, while other players appear as pigeons. This design creates instant visual awareness of who is still in the run.
Meanwhile, the top-performing player earns the title of “the king.” The king stands out with a unique skin and a visible live multiplier, making competition even more exciting.
Leaderboards track:
- The best runs in the past hour
- The best runs over the past 24 hours
Because of this, players can chase rankings, compare results, and return repeatedly to improve their performance.
Flexible ways to play
Chicken X & Friends adapts to different play styles without losing its high-pressure core.
Players can:
- Join a public playground and compete live
- Create a private room and invite friends
- Play solo with other players hidden
No matter the mode, the tension, pacing, and strategy remain the same.
Play it first at ICE 2026
Chicken X & Friends will be showcased at ICE 2026, ahead of its official launch on 28 January 2026.
Visitors can experience the game live at the Million Games stand (2C72). In addition, a daily tournament will run throughout the event. This gives attendees a first-hand look at real player behaviour, competition, and pacing.
The original Chicken X was shortlisted for Crash Game of the Year and quickly became one of Million Games’ most played titles. With Chicken X & Friends, the studio expands the format even further by introducing unlimited gameplay, deeper strategy, and visible multiplayer tension.
Fast to enter. Hard to master. Impossible to ignore.
Operators and partners interested in early access or distribution opportunities are encouraged to visit the Million Games team at ICE 2026.
