Candy Crush Saga’s Game On season is live on iOS and Android, celebrating Xbox’s 25th anniversary through December 6, 2026. King’s mobile crossover includes collectible pins, reworked game music, and an arcade-themed competition.
Eight franchises feature in the celebration: Halo, Fallout, Sea of Thieves, Forza, DOOM, Banjo-Kazooie, Crash Bandicoot, and Spyro. Their characters and imagery appear in the XBOX 25 pin collection, including Candy Crush characters dressed for the occasion.
Familiar armor meets the Candy Kingdom
King worked with the teams behind the featured games on the pin designs. The collection mixes recognizable characters and equipment with costume changes for the Candy Kingdom cast:
- Halo: Master Chief’s helmet appears alongside Tiffi in pink Mjolnir armor, complete with her signature bow, and Dachs in Grunt armor.
- Fallout: Vault Boy joins the collection, while Dachs wears Dogmeat’s armor and Bubblegum Troll gets a Vault Suit.
- DOOM and Crash Bandicoot: The Cacodemon and Dr. Neo Cortex are among the featured designs.
Rare’s contribution brings Banjo, Kazooie, and Pendragon into the crossover, extending the character lineup beyond the armor and Vault Suits.
Six remixed themes join the season
Music from Halo, Fallout, Sea of Thieves, Forza, DOOM, and Banjo-Kazooie has been rearranged in Candy Crush style and woven into gameplay throughout the season.
Game On season soundtrack artwork
Composer Federico Truzzi worked on the arrangements, which bring together an orchestra, the Bulgarian Voices Berlin choir, and an accordion. King’s Head of Audio Dominique Devoucoux and Audio Lead Sebastian Aav discuss the project in a behind-the-scenes video.
The tracks are also set for release across streaming platforms and participating studio channels, so listening outside the game is part of the celebration too.
For players looking for competition, the arcade-themed Leagues event adds standings to climb alongside the collection and soundtrack.
