The highly popular game, Despicable Me: Minion Rush, made after the equally popular movie is available for Windows 10 users in the Microsoft Store. Below are more details about it.

Although a lot of users have gotten used to playing it on their Android devices, we’re going to show you how to download, install, and play it on your Windows PC.

All you have to do is follow our step-by-step guide in order to get Minion Rush on PC and promise to have a lot of fun with it.

Gru’s loyal yellow gibberish-speaking Minions are ready for their toughest challenge in Despicable Me: Minion Rush. Play as a Minion and compete with others in hilarious, fast-paced challenges in order to impress your boss, (former?) super-villain Gru! Jump, fly, dodge obstacles, collect bananas, be mischievous, and defeat villains to earn the title of Minion of the Year!

The game will take 140 MB of your storage which, I think, is about the same size as on other mobile platforms.

Inside the game, you can customize your Minion with unique costumes, weapons, power-ups and battle Vector, and an all-new villain that has been exclusively created for the Windows 10 version of the game.

How to play Minion Rush without missions?

Well, you should know that Rush Avoiding is a game setting in Minion Rush and it is now known as avoiding missions.

In the previous version of the popular title, some levels would ask a player to rush avoid with a power-up, but it’s discontinued for this current version.

That being said, remember that there is also an Avoid Missions mode, which tasks you with completing a run while a certain action is banned, such as jumping, ducking, or collecting Bananas.

Of course, you can still perform the banned action, but doing so will incur a temporary penalty, during which your actions won’t count towards Mission objectives.

So, what are you waiting for? Get your Minion Rush from the Microsoft Store, and hit the Play button now!
