Cricket thrives in narrow alleys—some would argue it's even more exciting than playing on a proper field, at least in India. Independent developer 5th Ocean Studios has just launched its latest cricket game, Gully Gangs: Street Cricket, in Open Beta for Android.
Breaking the Mold of Traditional Cricket Sims
Gully Gangs: Street Cricket delivers fast-paced 4v4 multiplayer action set in India's chaotic gullies—tight urban lanes pulsating with local flavor.
As the first dedicated 4v4 street cricket experience, it captures authentic moments like rooftop catches, randomly parked scooters blocking play, and neighbors shouting about broken windows. For quick matches, a 1v1 mode spices things up.
The game empowers players with flashy power shots and live voice chat—trash-talk opponents, spam emojis mid-game, or scheme with teammates using tactical voice commands.
Authentic Indian street scenes come alive with crumbling stumps, improvised wickets, and unpredictable ball rebounds off uneven surfaces.
Deep customization lets you assemble your ultimate squad, dressing them in vibrant outfits while unlocking unique cosmetics.
Open Beta Live Now
5th Ocean Studios promises significant updates ahead—additional street maps, character cosmetics, seasonal events, clan competitions, and eventual esports integration. Players can expect global leaderboards, timed challenges, and intense crew battles.
Currently Android-only, iOS and Steam ports with full controller support and crossplay functionality are underway. Android users can download now via Google Play.
