My Arms Are Longer Now, the 2D stealth comedy where you rob people with one absurdly long arm, launches on 11 March 2027. Developer Toot Games and publisher Jackbox Games announced the date during Nintendo's Indie World showcase on 28 October, and every platform gets it on the same day. Here's what's confirmed and what isn't yet.

When does My Arms Are Longer Now come out?

On 11 March 2027, on PC and consoles together. No launch time has been announced yet.

That's later than first planned. When Jackbox announced it was publishing the game in March, the plan was PC in autumn 2026 and consoles in 2027. By the Steam Next Fest demo in October, the developers were saying "early 2027" for PC too, and the October announcement then put every version on one date.

Which platforms is My Arms Are Longer Now on?

Jackbox's announcement lists five:

  • PC: Steam
  • PlayStation 5
  • Xbox Series X|S
  • Nintendo Switch and Switch 2

Two loose ends on PC. In March, Jackbox said the game would also come to the Epic Games Store, but the October announcement only mentions Steam. And Jackbox's own game page lists Windows and macOS, while the Steam page only lists Windows for now (the demo does run on Mac).

There's no Xbox One or PS4 version, and no word on Game Pass or mobile.

How much does My Arms Are Longer Now cost?

Not announced yet. The Steam page has no price, and neither Jackbox nor Nintendo has given one.

Is there a demo?

Yes, on Steam. It's the game's first level and it's free. It launched for Steam Next Fest in October and is still downloadable from the Steam page. No console demo has been announced.

Does My Arms Are Longer Now have co-op or multiplayer?

No. It's a single-player game: Jackbox's page lists the player count as "Single Player" and the Steam page lists single-player only. So there's no co-op and no crossplay to worry about.

That might surprise anyone expecting a party game from the Jackbox name. This is Jackbox's first game as a publisher for another studio, not one of its own Party Pack games.

What kind of game is it?

You play a thief whose arm stretches like "a yucky snake", in the Steam page's words. You snake it through vents, under tables and out of windows to steal anything that isn't bolted down, from loose change to designer dogs. Nintendo's showcase page and the Steam listing add:

  • a detective one week from retirement who narrates your crime spree and interviews your victims;
  • disguises and distractions, like putting a sock on your hand to flirt with a lonely guard;
  • arm customisation with tattoos, bite marks, hair and more;
  • 48 characters voiced by Australian comedians, according to Nintendo.

It's the debut game from Melbourne studio Toot Games, led by designer Matthew Jackson and comedy creator Millie Holten. Our Indie World roundup has the other games from the same showcase.

Is there a foot mode?

Maybe. In April the developers promised a cosmetic that swaps your hand for a foot if the game gained 15,000 more Steam wishlists before launch. They haven't said yet whether it hit that target.

Can my PC run it?

Almost certainly. Steam lists Windows 10, a 2.5GHz dual-core processor, 8GB of RAM, Intel Iris Plus 640 graphics and just 500MB of storage, with full controller support.

Does My Arms Are Longer Now use AI?

There's no sign of it: the Steam page carries no AI-generated content disclosure, and neither Toot Games nor Jackbox has mentioned using generative AI.

Which languages does it support?

Full English audio, with text in French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Korean and Simplified and Traditional Chinese.
