Is Baking Bad Crossplay?

Baking Bad supports online co-op where players collaborate to run an underground baking operation. Together you cook forbidden treats in a physics-based RV kitchen (combining any ingredients to craft unique pastries), upgrade baking gear, hit the road to sell creations across cities to buyers known as 'chunkies', manage reputation, and evade police. One player drives while others bake and sell. Voice chat is not built-in; use Discord or Steam voice chat for coordination.

Yes, Baking Bad is fully playable solo. The complete gameplay loop — from baking to selling to evading police — works as a single-player experience. Solo play gives you complete control over the entire underground operation, managing all cooking, driving, and dealing decisions independently. Many players enjoy the single-player fantasy of running a one-person criminal pastry empire.

Set in a world where sweets and carbs are banned, Baking Bad puts you in the role of an underground baker. Build and upgrade an RV kitchen, cook 90+ forbidden recipes (combine any ingredients for unique pastries), sell them across cities while managing your blood sugar, and stay ahead of police patrols. The game blends cooking simulation, open-world driving, base building in your RV, and crime management. It draws clear inspiration from Breaking Bad's premise applied to the absurd context of illegal baked goods.

Baking Bad enters Early Access on February 19, 2026 with the complete gameplay loop: cooking, selling, evading police, and upgrading your RV base. The developers at FunkyArmor plan to exit Early Access by end of October 2026. The full version will greatly expand the playable map, add new items/upgrades/recipes, improve AI behavior, deepen the cooking and selling experience, and add traffic and police vehicles. Player feedback will directly shape development direction.

Baking Bad shares the underground criminal enterprise concept with Schedule 1 (drug empire management) but replaces drugs with illegal baked goods for a comedic twist. The Breaking Bad inspiration is explicit in the name and premise, but gameplay focuses on cooking simulation and open-world driving rather than narrative drama. If you enjoy games like Schedule 1, Definitely Not Fried Chicken, or cooking sims with criminal elements, Baking Bad hits a unique sweet spot.
