Undertale Android and iOS download 

Unfortunately, there’s no way to download Undertale on either iPhone or Android. Honestly, we’re not sure why, as it’s hardly the most demanding game in terms of performance, so it’d make sense to bring it to cell phones. Still, it seems Toby Fox has more interesting things to do, such as developing Deltarune, so you’ll have to pick the game up on another platform if you want to meet Sans and the gang.

Undertale Steam download

Undertale is available to download on Steam and is certified as ‘Playable’ on Steam Deck. It appears the only reason it hasn’t achieved ‘Verified’ status is that the game occasionally prompts you to use a mouse, keyboard, or non-Steam Deck controls. However, this doesn’t affect the overall experience, and having played the game on Valve’s handheld ourselves, we can recommend picking it up on the console.

Can I download Undertale for free?

Unfortunately, you can’t download Undertale for free. Unlike fellow indie hits like Stardew Valley and Balatro, the game isn’t part of the Apple Arcade games library. However, if you want to try out a game from Toby Fox, Deltarune Chapter 1 is available on Nintendo Switch and PC. It’s not quite as iconic as Undertale, but a free game is a free game.

How much space do I need to download Undertale?

Undertale is a pretty small game, occupying just 220MB of storage space on the Nintendo Switch. Considering you get 32GB of Switch internal storage, which you can boost significantly with a MicroSD card, you shouldn’t have to free up any additional space to download and install this fantastic RPG. The Steam Deck has even more storage, even in its smallest 256GB capacity, so you should have room down to download Undertale even if you’ve already got a pretty packed library.

There you have it, the only Undertale download guide you need to jump into Toby Fox’s one-of-a-kind RPG adventure.
