In 2013, French developer Julien Thiennot published a curious web game with a premise as absurd as simple: click on a cookie to win more cookies. Somehow, it became an absolute phenomenon and popularized the genre of the 'idle games' or games “that are played alone.” His name is Cookie Clicker and in 2025, 12 years after his launch, we finally know the date on which he will reach Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch consoles.
In this game, when we get enough cookies, we can invest them in improvements such as cursors that automatically click, armies of grandparents that bake more cookies and even create portals to other dimensions that generate, of course, more cookies. You can see the trailer of this new version for consoles below.
Despite its simple premise and that once we have enough improvements “it is played alone”, Cookie Clicker It is supremely addictive. Seeing the numbers of cookies generated to grow at unimaginable levels has a very special charm and we can “lose” in the obsession to create more and more cookies.
What is the release date of Cookie Clicker for consoles?
According to the Playsaurus distributor, the versions of Cookie Clicker For PS4, PS5, Xbox and Nintendo Switch consoles will arrive Thursday, May 22, 2025. The Nintendo Switch 2 version will be after the launch of the console.
Although this game is supremely catchy, we have doubts about this version. Part of what makes this title so attractive is that we can leave it I want to generate cookies while we do other things and that is perfect for PC, but we do not feel it is suitable when we are facing the TV. We'll see if you have the same success you had on computers. Besides, The web version can still be played completely free.
