Roku Launches "Roku City Dash," an Original Interactive Game Within the Fan-Favorite Screensaver

Launching on April 20, the game invites users to fly through the beloved Roku City amid retro-inspired UFOs, competing for high scores in a fast-paced experience.

SAN JOSE, Calif. - April 20, 2026 - Your favorite screensaver just became your next gaming obsession. Starting April 20, Roku streamers can play "Roku City Dash," an original game that takes you inside the beloved Roku City, past iconic buildings and unexpected surprises from outer space. Streamers will be able to compete within their households for high scores in the retro-inspired experience, transforming Roku City into an interactive destination.

"Our users have a deep passion for all-things Roku City and starting today we are delivering a feature they've asked for over many years," said Lisa Holme, Head of Content, Roku Media. "Roku City Dash invites our users to fly through Roku City, passing iconic monuments they know and love, plus special Easter eggs, as they vie for a high score by avoiding obstacles. The game is a fun way for us to celebrate our beloved town, build on our platform's interactivity, and invite users to spend time with Roku in a new way."

Roku City Dash will be accessible through an interactive building in the Roku City screensaver, as well as through the Roku Home Screen.

The launch of "Roku City Dash" underscores Roku's continued investment in engagement-driven experiences like Roku Daily Trivia, and builds on the momentum of the recently launched quarterly "Roklue" game, along with "Live from Roku City," an initiative that transforms the iconic screensaver into a dynamic stage for original programming. Past iterations include Demi Lovato's headline performance and a celebration of "Wicked: For Good" launched earlier this year.
