Cut the Rope Remastered will bring the classic puzzle game to iOS and Android this winter.

Cut the Rope Remastered Arrives on iOS and Android December 3 After 50 Million Installs on Apple Arcade

Early 2010s: the Apple Store as a mobile gaming entry point

For anyone who was a youngster in the early 2010s, a trip to the local Apple Store often became a chance to touch the iPads and iPhones on display and play the latest mobile games. Fruit Ninja, Jetpack Joyride and, of course, Cut the Rope were part of that experience, and they made many young visitors promise that this Christmas they would finally get the smartphone they had been wishing for.

Development stage: Apple Arcade exclusivity builds a 50 million install record

Before the December 3 release, Cut the Rope Remastered was previously only available via Apple Arcade. During that phase, the game racked up 50 million installs, making it one of the remastered mobile classics returning from that era.

Latest progress: December 3 brings iOS and Android access

December 3 will see the return of at least one of those early 2010s mobile classics, with Cut the Rope Remastered coming to iOS and Android. This moves the game beyond its previous Apple Arcade-only availability and gives players on those platforms a new way to access it.

Current stage: one-time purchase with a pre-registration discount

The December 3 launch is not framed only as a return to mobile storefronts. Cut the Rope Remastered will be available as a one-time purchase, and it includes a special pre-registration discount. For readers whose first exposure to mobile gaming came through store display iPads and iPhones, the release brings a familiar name back to iOS and Android after its 50 million install run on Apple Arcade.
