The Cassette Beasts mobile release date is finally here, almost a year after its initial announcement. Bytten Studio dropped the exciting news as part of its Cassette Beasts showcase back in March 2024, and the port officially launched on iOS and Android in January 2025.
Not only is this release great news for mobile-only gamers, but it’s also perfect for bargain hunters. Cassette Beasts is currently $19.99 on the Switch without any DLC, but this mobile RPG port only costs $5.99 on Android (and $6.99 on iOS to account for Apple’s fees). It’s also one of the best games like Pokémon out there, so we highly recommend picking it up.
If you’ve not heard of it before, Cassette Beasts is a BAFTA-nominated indie creature collector, battler, and fuser game where you use the retro powers of a cassette tape to record monsters that you find and transform into them in battle. You can make use of certain monster powers outside of battles to explore the world around you and solve puzzles, and you can fuse any two monsters together to create a new, fully animated creature.
When was the Cassette Beasts mobile release date?
Cassette Beasts launched on iOS and Android on January 15, 2025. While it doesn’t feature the game’s multiplayer update, it contains the entire base game up to version 1.5, making it the perfect portable experience. You can read the full FAQ here.
