Rooftops & Alleys: The Parkour Game is opening its playground to more community creations, with a free update adding full cross-platform modding on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. The Switch 2 version is also available, with a free upgrade for existing owners of the Switch base game, so there is more to this announcement than another opportunity to fall off a roof.

The mod.io-powered tools let creators build custom maps, outfits and pigeon skins using Unreal Engine, then share them through the game’s browser. Players on other supported platforms can discover those creations, making the community’s ideas part of the wider game rather than something left sitting on one person’s machine.

There is a distinction between this and the tools already in the game. Rooftops & Alleys has previously added a Level Editor and custom-map browser, while the latest update expands what can be built and shared through full modding support. The developer’s version 1.8 announcement includes the official modding-kit link for anyone ready to make things.

Two cosmetic packs, the Ninja Pack and Trail Pack, are available alongside the update. They join the earlier Bird Pack and Hat Pack, with an Anniversary Edition offering the base game and its DLC together. Those paid cosmetics are separate from the free modding update, which is the bit that matters most if you already own the game and want new places to practise.

The Switch 2 release gives Nintendo players another way into the parkour and freerunning sandbox. Existing Switch owners should check the upgrade option before buying again, rather than assuming a new console means paying for the same base game twice.

Publisher Radical Theory has collected the details in its official announcement. Between custom courses and pigeon fashion, the community now has a broad brief, although none of it is likely to make mistiming a jump feel less embarrassing.
