I can’t wait. I bought myself some new pets that are eager to play. Thank you. Happy Holidays everyone! Side note: Can anyone tell me where to find the building kit for I think it is a snowman? I am getting requests for fabric and coal and I cannot find it.
Hooray! Thank you, Santakinz elves, for making this happen!
YES!!!! Thank you!
I downloaded it and it really seems more like a phone and iPad game as it often orientations so my screen is sideways which does not make sense for a computer. it also lacks many aspects of the game that I would normally enjoy on the computer such as curio shop, clubhouse and many other things.
It sounds like you installed the Webkinz Classic mobile app. Webkinz Next is the same on every platform. If you were trying to install the Webkinz Classic desktop app, you download that directly from here
So excited to finally be able to play Webkinz Next on my Mac, but I’m having technical difficulties… :( I have a newer MacBook Pro, and the game crashed twice-the first time was while I was trying to log in (the first time) and the second time was while I was in the adoption center viewing the baby showcase. My Mac’s fan was running, suddenly “wooshed” and then my Mac froze up and shut off (thankfully no data loss occurred). My Mac’s fan was also running loudly intermittently while in the game if a lot was going on at once (like a game or feeding a lot of food to my pet). Is anyone else having issues like this too?
Im having similar issues with the Macbook Air 2020 with M1 chip :( it seems to make my computer heat very quickly and slows everything down, which is an issue i dont have ever when playing Classic. glad to see im not alone!!
Yikes….I also had the same experience as you-my Mac was getting quite hot and slow and I also don’t have these problems in Classic. I’m glad I’m not alone either. A friend of mine who participated in the beta trials also told me that their Mac runs hot when playing Next….. :(
The same thing happened to me twice. I have a MacBook Air. It makes my laptop overheat and shut down. It seems like Apple products have a hard time with this game because even on my iPhone the screen dims and it starts to overheat after awhile.
Wow….. :( yep, my Mac was getting very hot too-scary. I can’t play this game for very long on my iPhone either because the same thing happens-it gets very warm and drains my battery quickly. I really hope Ganz finds a way to fix this.
Yeah I hope they fix it too! It’s disappointing that I still can’t play on Mac even though Next is available on there. :( It’s nice to know that it’s not a problem with our specific devices though.
Hurray! Thank you so much, Ganz! ^-^ I can’t wait to play Next on my laptop! ;)
