Matt Groening Accidentally Confirms Simpsons Hit & Run Jurassic Park Style Comeback
KEY POINTS
- •Matt Groening hinted that The Simpsons: Hit & Run game may return at D23 Expo 2026 with vague certainty.
- •Showrunner Matt Selman immediately dodged, adding 'or not' to Groening's suggestion, creating public confusion.
- •The original 2003 game is not on modern consoles or PlayStation Plus Plus Classics, making physical versions harder to enjoy.
At the 2026 D23 Expo, Matt Groening dropped a bomb dumber than Homer's plans by half-revealing that The Simpsons: Hit & Run might be rolling back onto consoles—in some form, maybe, or maybe not, as showrunner Matt Selman skeptically dodged responsibility faster than Marge dodges Bart’s latest mess. Originally unleashed in the dawn of 2003 on PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, and Windows, this cult classic is currently doing its best Obi-Wan disappearing act on modern consoles, absent from PlayStation Plus Classics or Xbox libraries. Fans stuck trying to play it nowadays resemble Santa chasing reindeer in July — possible, but mostly sad.
