The Jamaican sprinter has been added to the video game “Temple Run 2” as a paid character.
In the game, Bolt has special electric bolt shield ability that makes him invincible, allowing him to turn automatically and draw in nearby coins. His character is available in both iOS and Android editions.
The new Bolt character costs 99 cents, but according to reports, only real currency, not in-game coins, can pay for the Bolt character.
The six-time Olympic gold medalist, who runs the 100-meter, 200-meter and 400-meter relay sprints, said he loves the franchise and has been playing “Temple Run 2” since the original’s debut.
“It’s an honor to be a part of such an established game,” Bolt said in an email to the LA Times. “Many of my fans have told me that I should be a playable character in “Temple Run,” so when this opportunity was put before me, I had to say yes!”
