The Ubisoft Instagram account was changed to appear as if it is Rabbid Peach's personal account as part of promotional efforts for *Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle*. The account has posts on it made before being repurposed that were meant to be from the point of view of a generic Rabbid. This change was met with mixed reception. Kotaku's Gita Jackson was critical of it, finding it creepy due to its attempts to personify brands. She felt that the account mocked women on Instagram. Despite this, she still found the character cute. Writer Laura Kate Dale was more positive about the account. She commented that Rabbid Peach "stole the show" in *Kingdom Battle*, particularly citing her love for selfies as a contributing factor.
