Despicable Me: Minion Rush is getting brand new content to mark the release of the fourth movie

Despicable Me: Minion Rush receives a major update themed around the fourth film in the franchise, now available globally.

The enduring popularity of the Despicable Me franchise, beginning with Illumination's debut feature film (co-produced by Mac Guff), is remarkable. Minion Rush, itself a massive success with over a billion downloads and a decade-long run, continues to thrive.
