Google Play, iOS and Windows Store versions available now!
When will we be able to buy plush pets for this game?
I hope soon, because anything plush has my name written all over it!!
Me and my sister tried entering so unused codes we had and they didn’t work, so either new ones are coming out [!!!!!!!!!!!!!] or the pets we tried to put in hadn’t been added to the game yet.
The PC version is out know! I don’t know about other people, but i love it!
Thanks for letting us know! I cannot wait to give it a try!!
I definitely won’t be playing this new game, for many different reasons. I have already invested too much time and money into the true Webkinz. I am no way going to start over and spend money on a new game. Webkinz also keeps us so bombarded with stuff to do on the monthly calendar, I don’t have time for it all, let alone playing on a new game as well. Also, the system requirements are too high for both mobile and PC. I am not someone to own the latest, greatest version of everything… clearly this is the target audience if that is what they expect you to own to play their game. I also don’t care for 3D and the way this looks.
I agree! I have spent hundred of dollars on Webkinz ‘classic’ and so I am going to continue with this version! I have invested years and do not want to just give it up lol
I agree. I have a LOT of time and money invested in Webkinz. No way am I starting over again. Really bummed that the two won’t be merged.
jsfofr, I agree with everything you said. Plus I am pretty attached to the pets I already have in the ‘true Webkinz’ and I still have plenty waiting to be adopted. I just want Webkinz as we know it to be around for many, many years.
I totally agree!
lol I probably spent over an estimate 200 hundred dollars on classic Webkinz. Honestly, I think I’m going to just play both. I tried out new Webkinz and I think it’s really cool, even if my pets aren’t on there.
I wanted to at least try it, but it won’t let me. Says I already own this game, yet it will not let me sign in. Takes me right back to the ‘get it’. I don’t have the patience to mess with it, and as jsforfr said, There is so much going on in the original game, I don’t have time to do all my accts there. But it is frustrating not to be able to at least check it out.
My account says I’m only a free player until November 3rd. Do I have to pay so I don’t lose my account?
No, you won’t lose access to your free account. You do not have to make a purchase. I’ve passed this on to be investigated
Thank you Sally! :)
I thought mine said the same thing but then realized it said year 2030 ! Maybe check the year
When I looked in my account it said free player until November 3rd 2030, so maybe we have a while, or they had to put something in there so they put a far off date. Either that or it’s a mistake.
I have a question. Since Adobe won’t be supporting Flash as of December 2020, doesn’t that essentially make the current Classic version working only until operating systems advance out of being able to run Flash? Or does this mean they just won’t help troubleshoot or maintain the program? If this is so, I would rather know now. I know it can take a few years for operating systems to stop being able to run certain programs (apps), but I see this as having a finite end at some point. The current collections amassed can’t transfer over to the new version, but oh, how I wish it could. I would gladly continue on with the newest iteration of that were possible somehow. I know it’s not the same thing computer programming-wise, but it’s just a thought I’d love someone to mull over. The new version has a lot of potential.
I think the desktop app replaces the browser version – from what I understand, the app won’t be affected by the Flash disappearing. So no worries!
That’s why we have the Desktop version. They have been working for years to transfer the platform to work without Flash.
I use my laptop……Does that mean the “app won’t be affected by the flash disappearing”….does that pertain to my laptop too (not a mac)
The Webkinz Desktop app will be updated so that Flash Player will not be required. If you can already use the Desktop App now, you can continue using it once browsers discontinue support for Flash.
I got a message that my Samsung Galaxy Tablet would not be able to load this game. What is required to load it and why is my tablet, which I am able to play regular webkinz on not able to load it?
Did you find a fix ? Im getting my Galaxy Tablet back today, just got it repaired. If you fixed your problem, please leave a comment here and let me know how. Thank you.
12-year Webkinz fan here :) WHAT A SURPRISE!!! This actually looks pretty interesting, and I’m excited to play!!! I loved the Mazin’ Hamsters, and these graphics look similar to me. I am 1000% excited about this as long as Webkinz Classic can continue to exist alongside the New Webkinz. I would be absolutely devastated if I lost my childhood world in Webkinz Classic.
I cannot get it to load. Not happy about this. Looks like it is made for very young children. So will the old webkinz world be gone along with all the pets and items we spent real money on?
Yes, when you log in with your classic username for the new Webkinz you loos all the stuff you have in the classic Webkinz, like pet, clothing even money. The new Webkinz is completely different. – Hopes this helps!
Just to clarify.. You don’t “lose” anything, since this is a completely brand new game. You have the option to use the same username as Classic, that is all. The accounts are not otherwise linked. Webkinz Classic isn’t going anywhere, so you can continue to enjoy your pets and stuff
Old Webkinz world will be rebranded as Webkinz classic, and will still be updated with new items and events.
NO! It’s not gone, we just get 2 ways to play now! It’s all good!
I will try it when the PC version is available. However, I am happy with the Webinz design as it is now, and I have spent a lot of money and effort in my pets and my home, so I really hope you will continue updating Webkinz (in spite of the Flash Player problem). In a former announcement, you also said you will update Webkinz so that it won’t need Flash Player, and now I don’t read anything about this any longer, so I hope there is nothing to worry about?
My thoughts exactly. I want to continue the classic version. I have spent a lot of money too with yearly deluxe and items from the ganz store. I am hoping it will continue without flash problems. Otherwise there will be a lot of angry players.
If you look at the comments in GREEN from Sally Webkinz you will see that the WW game we all love and have played for years isn’t going anywhere. You just need to download the desktop app (different from this new 3d game) so after flash is gone you can still play our classic WW game!
I agree 100%!
The desktop app replaces the web version. It just doesn’t use a web browser. It has been out for a while, now.
I did not see this coming at all! I have tried it out from the iOS store already (hopefully I won’t have to wait too long for the Mac version) and it’s pretty cool! Yes, Ms. Biscuits is a little creepy and there aren’t nearly as many features yet, but Webkinz Classic started small and look where it is now! And I can’t wait to get more plushes and babies! I noticed that I have a “Free” account until the end of the month. Does that mean there is a level below free or will I have to buy a pet to play more? Anyhow, great job, creative team!
