Cookie Run Kingdom was released globally on January 19, 2021 for Android and iOS devices. Purely a mobile game at first, the gacha title by developer Devsisters was launched in Google Play Games on PC on July 12, 2023. Ever since the game was launched, it has had over 10 million downloads on the Google Play Store.

Cookie Run Kingdom is only one of the games under the Cookie Run franchise banner. The first game in franchise history was released in 2013 as an endless running game (hence the “run” part in Cookie Run). This was followed by another game, Cookie Run: OvenBreak, which is an arcade style running game in 2016. Cookie Run: Puzzle World, on the other hand, debuted globally in 2023. And both Cookie Run: Witch’s Castle and Cookie Run: Tower of Adventures were launched in 2024.
