Everyone's favorite hooved menace is back on mobile with the launch of for and , Swedish developer Coffee Stain Studios . As before, you play in an open world as a mayhem-loving goat in order to cause maximum chaos and ruin the day of as many NPC's as possible. The latest version dials up the destruction with accessories like jetpacks, rocket launchers and supercharged headbutts, while letting you kit out your goats with dubious fashion accessories.
The mobile versions offers much the same feature set found on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC, particularly the co-op multiplayer support. Other mobile features include multiple goat options (tall, fishy, with hats), an "OK amount" of quests in the open world, mini-games, "ragdoll physics that slap Newton in the face" and more, according to the Play Store listing.
Goat Simulator famously started as a for Global Game Jam 2014, replete with bugs, bizarre physics and just a weird, weird concept. Flocks of players loved the alpha version, though, so Coffee Stain elected to release it as a full game, leaving the floppy necks and ability to use your goat's tongue to somehow walk up construction cranes.
Goat Simulator 3 is actually the second game in the series (the developer famously skipped over 2), appearing last year a full eight years after the original. The original version appeared shortly after the alpha, and basically left most of the bugs in — part of the charm or terribleness of the game, depending on your point of view. It turns out that "buggy and stupid" is hard to do on purpose though, as GS3's creative director hence the long delay. In any case, it's now available on and for $13.
