This is a phenomenal game that looks and runs great everywhere. A new Unity game running at a solid 60fps on every single platform and a spiritual follow-up to Donkey Kong Country!
A multi-platform game optimised for Switch that scales wonderfully all the way up to a dynamic 4K on Xbox One X - check out Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair with @dark1x: youtube.com/watch?v=yihbcvEc…
The one I've been waiting for :) Thanks @digitalfoundry @dark1x

Wahey! We’ve hit a milestone of over 1 million #YookaLaylee players! Have a massive thank you from all of us at Playtonic, in the form of a fresh photo of the world’s most gorgeous 47-year-old, Kev Bayliss (bottom right), with his colleagues.

Once my Kickstarter campaign reaches 80% funding, I’ll be sending out a signed cover print to one of you lucky beans! We’re at 64%, so it’s not a long road. To enter this #giveaway, simply retweet this tweet before we reach 80%! kickstarter.com/projects/dre… #YookaLaylee
For the first time in around 10 years I stayed up playing a game (Odyssey) till 4am. Today I feel like I've been run over by a truck. I don't remember playing a game does that to me 🤔 Is a #gaminghangover a thing? I've felt better after an all night rave...
It's been quite a journey this last few months, but one we are incredibly proud of! Well done everyone @PlaytonicGames ! #YookaLaylee #NintendoSwitch youtube.com/watch?v=NfBeett5…
