Apex, North Carolina – April 27, 2026 -  Limited Run Games, a premium publisher of physical video games, announced today that Rugrats: Retro Rewind, a compendium of six classic Rugrats titles featuring the iconic babies from the ‘90s, will soon be available to purchase both physically and digitally on Nintendo® Switch and PlayStation® 5. Physical pre-orders will open on May 1 and end on May 31, and digital copies of the game will be available from May 15.

When Rugrats: Search for Reptar first launched on the original PlayStation console in 1998, it marked the beginning of an exciting journey for Tommy Pickles and his pint-sized gang of friends and foes. Spanning six fun and memorable titles, the series took  the team banding together to seek out lost jigsaw pieces, embarking upon an exciting mission to rescue Dil, Tommy’s cheeky sibling, and adventures through exciting historical locations, plus hijinks at a movie studio and fun capers through an exhilarating theme park in Paris. 

Rugrats: Retro Rewind features SIX classic Rugrats titles:

• Rugrats: Search for Reptar - Originally launched in 1998 for the PlayStation console, this is the Rugrats’ first adventure, taking them through a jigsaw puzzle mystery.

• The Rugrats Movie - Based on the movie of the same name, this catalog of capers was originally available on Game Boy and Game Boy Color and finds the Rugrats on a mission to seek out the missing Dil Pickles.

• Rugrats: Time Travelers - A punchy platformer launched in 1999 for the Game Boy Color, where adventures begin in a toy store with a mysterious yet irresistible time machine.

• Rugrats: Studio Tour - A 1990 action-adventure title that initially landed on PlayStation and saw the crew exploring a variety of film sets in a movie studio packed with danger and intrigue.

• Rugrats in Paris: The Movie - This title, another fun movie spin-off, was first available on the Game Boy Color, PlayStation, and N64, and brings the team to an exciting theme park in Paris where adventures beckon.

• Rugrats: Castle Capers - Released only for the Game Boy Advance in 2001, the Rugrats have to retrieve their stolen toys from Angelica, who is holding them hostage in a fortress-like playground set.

Each of these classic titles features brand-new, quality-of-life updates designed to elevate the experience for retro fans.  Players can relive the nostalgia with customizable screen filters to recapture that warm, retro CRT TV feel, a ‘save anywhere’ feature to ensure progress is never lost,  a rewind feature to offer players a second chance at those especially tricky moments,  and an included music player to let fans enjoy the zappy soundtrack even when you’re not playing.
