The beloved and often addictive game, Cookie Clicker, is gearing up to expand its reach by making its way to some of the most popular gaming consoles. Soon, players may find themselves glued to their TV screens as they embark on an endless baking spree.
Originally captivating audiences when it launched on Steam in 2021, Cookie Clicker is set to arrive on major platforms, including the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. This transition to consoles is a logical next step for a game that has become a staple of casual gaming.
The news about Cookie Clicker’s upcoming console release was first revealed by its developer, Orteil42, through a post on Tumblr, igniting excitement across various gaming communities, particularly on Reddit. Eager fans swiftly uncovered product listings on platforms like the Microsoft Store, the PlayStation Store, and the Nintendo eShop.
According to the eShop listing, Cookie Clicker is expected to launch on May 22nd, with a price set at $4.99—a price point that aligns with its current listing on Steam, translating to roughly £4.29 in the UK.
Since its inception in 2013, Cookie Clicker has become notorious for its ability to distract players and drain productivity, making it a popular choice in various work environments (not that we endorse gaming on the job!). Players start by clicking to amass virtual cookies, eventually building an elaborate baking empire with the help of eccentric aides like virtual grandmothers. Over time, the game rewards players with increasing cookie outputs as they delve deeper into its whimsical world.
For those who still prefer the browser experience, the web version remains available, and it continues to be free of charge. Enjoy the distraction—it’s all in good fun!
