The SCRABBLE console game introduces an engaging and seamless multiplayer experience that lets you play against players from all over the country. Players will be matched against opponents of similar skill levels in one of three multiplayer gameplay modes. Classic mode follows the standard SCRABBLE game rules while the Time Attack mode pushes players to move quickly by allowing only 45 seconds for each turn. In Score Rush mode, collecting points early in the game is important as the first player to reach a specific score will be the winner.

The SCRABBLE console game is part of the collaboration between Hasbro and Ubisoft for the Hasbro Game Channel. A premiere destination for strategy game entertainment, Hasbro Game Channel provides access to classic and reinvented versions of your favorite Hasbro board games. The channel also provides a social layer to each game by leveraging the consoles’ connected capabilities and motion-cameras to enrich the in-game experience.
