Due to an issue beyond our control, as of January 1, 2021, Webkinz Classic will no longer work on browsers. The Flash plug-in, which is required for our site to run will not be supported by browsers after December 31, 2020.
The good news is that Webkinz Classic has a downloadable Desktop App that functions exactly the same way as our original site, but it doesn’t require a browser in order to play!
To make sure your play is uninterrupted, it’s important to download the Desktop App as soon as possible.
Ask your parents for help downloading the Desktop App and installing it on your computer.
Downloading the app is simple. Just visit the Webkinz homepage, and click one of the download buttons. There is a version for Windows and a version for Mac.
When the download has completed click on the wxsetup.exe in Windows or wxsetup.dmg on Mac in your Downloads folder and follow the prompts.
Once it is installed, you’re all set! You can continue to enjoy the same game you know and love!
And remember – you must install the Webkinz Classic Desktop App before January 2021 in order to enjoy uninterrupted play.
The desktop app still requires me to use flash player though (I’m on a mac). Please help.
The new version does not. Delete the old one and download the new one from webkinz.com
I LOVE the new desktop app! No advertisements – honestly they used to hurt my eyes because they would flash so much. Also I can now see the background artwork so much better too! Thank you Webkinz!
How do I know if I did the download right?
Were you able to install and play?
I am referencing the new webkinz classic app. Haven’t tried the other.
How do I shrink the screen size for the new app so I can do other things at the same time? It fills the entire monitor, so I can’t even check email without logging out.
Can you please please please make this available for chrome! Or allow us to switch our webkinz classic pets to the new webkinz! If this doesn’t happen I won’t be able to play anymore : (
Is there any way to transfer all your pets, kinzkash, house and clothes items to the new app. I have lost everything and I’m very disappointed with this new version.
The two games are separate. You can continue to use your Classic stuff on Classic. The new Webkinz is an entirely new game
can this be downloaded on a kindle?
The Webkinz Desktop App is currently only available for Windows and MacOS
Many people don’t use desktop computers anymore–just Chromebooks. There are going to be a lot of disappointed people who will not be able to play the full Webkinz on their Chromebooks any longer-including me. Is there something being worked out to fix this?
Well by changing over to the new Classic Webkinz full screen, I almost missed out on the eGanzstore Black Friday Weekend Specials. Good thing I had to check something on the Old version. When are the ads going to be posted on the new version telling us of special events like Christmas in Kinzville, Countdown to Christmas, etc.?
Webkinz Newz will continue to be updated. You may want to sign up to the Ganz eStore newsletter or follow their FB page
How do we get into Webkinz News on this new app, I can’t find it.
You will still need a browser for Webkinz Newz
