Stumble Guys Unveils Its First Wheelchair Hero in a Major Accessibility Milestone

• Stumble Guys is set to introduce its first wheelchair-using character
• The inclusion was inspired by a recent visit to Scopely from young fan Fayçal
• The character is inspired by superhero visuals and Olympiad-style wheelchair designs

Stumble Guys is taking a meaningful step forward with a new wheelchair-using character inspired by dedicated fan Fayçal — a thoughtful addition that highlights representation in multiplayer platformers and accessible character design in games. Following his visit to Scopely’s Barcelona studio, the team embraced his question about why no characters used wheelchairs and transformed it into a vibrant new skin.

Drawing from superhero aesthetics and the sleek look of elite athletic wheelchairs, the design fits seamlessly into the chaotic, fast-paced action Stumble Guys is known for. This update reinforces the studio’s commitment to inclusive mobile party game experiences while giving players like Fayçal a chance to feel represented on the screen.

Scopely’s approach shows careful craftsmanship rather than a quick add-on, making this accessibility-focused release stand out. For fans keeping up with ongoing updates — and anyone tracking the latest mobile gaming releases — this marks one of the game’s most heartfelt additions yet.

New additions for accessibility

Being a TTRPG player, I'm well-aware of how divisive (for some reason) the topic of wheelchairs in gaming can be. For your own sake, don't bring up whether or not a D&D adventurer can use a wheelchair around certain fans. With that in mind, it's refreshing to see Scopely embrace this idea wholeheartedly, and apply it in such an interesting way.

The new skin certainly doesn't feel like it was slapped together overnight, and hopefully, it lets players like Fayçal see and feel themselves being represented in something as widely played as Stumble Guys.
