Slime Rancher Mobile: Release Date, Price, System Requirements, and More

After years of development and optimization, Slime Rancher is officially releasing for both Android and iOS mobile devices. The game was originally released in 2017 for PC and consoles, and is now ready to entertain a new set of players who prefer gaming on a small screen. If you are looking to invest in this farm life sim experience, here's everything you need to know.

Slime Rancher Mobile Release Date & Price

As mentioned earlier, players will be able to download Slime Rancher on both Android and iOS devices. It is set for release on May 26, 2026. Right now, you can pre-register for the game on the Play Store and App Store, respectively. A general thing to remember is that Slime Rancher isn't coming out for free. You will have to pay $8.99/8.99€ to purchase and install the game on your device.

If this makes you feel any better, Playdigious, the developers of this game on mobile, will give a special 10% discount in the first week of its release. That said, make sure to get it in the first week if you really plan on catching some colorful slimes for your ranch.

Slime Rancher on mobile is a full-fledged port, requiring several months of development at Playdigious. It doesn't matter if you already own it on PC or console; you will have to purchase it again on mobile. A general thing to remember is that the game supports cloud save, so if you switch your phone from Android to iOS or vice versa, you will be able to transfer your saved data, too. However, it's not possible to do the same between PC and mobile, or console and mobile.

Instead of waiting for the game to release, why don't you check out some of the best free mobile games on the internet right now? Try them out and try to distract yourself until Slime Rancher finally releases.
