Team Alto are pleased to share that the special edition of their award-winning endless sandboarding game, Alto’s Odyssey: The Lost City is available today on Apple Arcade. The game is available as part of the subscription service, with the first month free for new members.
This long-awaited next step from Team Alto is a significant milestone for the team. Series co-creator and lead artist/developer Harry Nesbitt hints at what players can expect:
“It’s not just a few extra challenges hidden away in a menu, it’s an entirely new adventure woven into the core structure of the game. Existing players will immediately be able to tell that something is new and follow their curiosity, but if this is your first time playing an Alto game, it will hopefully blend into a single cohesive experience.”

About Team Alto
Team Alto represents the ongoing collaboration between UK-based studio Land & Sea and Toronto-based indie studio Snowman.
Land & Sea is the formalisation of the previously unnamed core development team behind Alto’s Adventure and Alto’s Odyssey. Founded by series co-creator and lead artist/developer, Harry Nesbitt, the studio is now joined by a team of experienced contributors who continue to shepherd the Alto series into the future, while also developing brand new IP centred around their shared love of nature, history and folklore.
Snowman is a small studio at the centre of artful experiences. Whether as a developer or creative partner, their goal has always been the same: to create meaningful experiences that you may sit with for a short time, but that sit with you for a long while. In recent years the Snowman team has also grown, expanding beyond their start working on productivity apps and the Alto series to bring a number of titles to life on Apple Arcade and beyond.
