A few week ago we announced that Webkinz Classic will be returning to browsers in Q4 2025. To help keep you on top of how the project is going, we will be releasing updates showing our progress.
First, we want to clarify the release plan for our browser-based solution:
We will release on browsers for PC and Mac first. This will get players into the game the fastest. We will of course keep the existing PC/ Mac application version available and running for players who prefer to use it.
We will then complete the mobile version. The biggest challenge will be ensuring that Webkinz doesn’t rotate when a player holds their phone vertically. We expect that this period will take two months to complete.
This isn’t going to work
At this point we will begin addressing fixing bugs, adding back missing features, and working on our first new features in years. We are fixing a few small issues as part of our current conversion, but the real work will begin after we launch. We are already going through the process of prioritizing these fixes and features and thank all of our fans for giving us their feedback as to what they most want to see.
Now onto the video! Today we’ll see the Curio Shop, one of the many features not currently available in the Webkinz Classic mobile app, playing in a browser (Microsoft Edge was used). Arte is already talking, selling items and helping players find gems for the legendary Crown of Wonder! All the features you know and love. Check it out:

I am so excited to hear we will be able to play more on the phone app. I am away a lot but still love to play this game but not much to do. I miss the daily activities unless I am on my PC. Side note will there be any chance of having the parties come back or the Wacky Log out games??? Those were So So much Fun. A Big Thank You to everyone that is helping make this happen :D
Something I would really love to see, even if it means a break from new content as far as items, challenges, events, etc go, would be a period of QOL focused updates. I have seen a lot of older games do this after years of pumping out new content, they shift focus for a while to just making the current game better. Make it work better, more user friendly, work out a lot of bugs, add things people can use to make life easier in the game. Like search features for the dock, for room names and even for searching for items within rooms, would be amazing. Making community codes be entered as one line like next, instead of four segments. Maybe more categories for the dock as well, like separating seeds from food, dividing the furniture into categories like tables, chairs, etc. Fixing bugs that cropped up with changes to X, like how some pets can’t wear hats without it going over their whole face/head, and others have them floating above their heads. I have a lot of pets who have weird issues where their faces turns into another pet when they use an action that faces the camera. Several clothing items have weird issues like they blink weird blue smears when in the clubhouse, even though they look normal in the room. Some items even changed totally when they were made to work on X (maybe someone was color blind?), I would love to see them restored to their real color and design. I think it would be on par with adding back in old features as well, like hopefully, mazin hamsters, room parties, inviting people to your house… etc.
Im so excited to see what new features will be added , I miss going to my friends’ houses as well so I hope that is fixed too !!:D
This makes me soooooo HAPPY! I am really excited to know that Webkinz Mobile will be better! At home I use my computer (which is easier to use), but when traveling or away from home, I will use the mobile app on my phone (Android). I do play the mobile app on my iPad, too. Will I be able to play the Classic version on my iPad? Just wondering. My heartfelt Thanks and many hugs of joy, to ALL the people who have made this happen! Thank you all so very much! You’ve made our entire Classic Webkinz Family Happy Beyond Reason! :-) Thank you!
This update will not change how the Webkinz mobile app works, but you will be able to access Webkinz through the browser on mobile, which would include iPad.
