Pop drop: After a day’s delay, Poptropica’s Steam bundle is ready to play!
To get started, head on over to Pop’s page on Steam to purchase the game, then open up the Steam app (or download it if it’s your first time). If you’re playing on a Mac, you’ll also need to download Adobe AIR.
Interestingly, the price of the bundle seems to vary by region. If you’re in the US, where Poptropica is based, the bundle is US$19.99. Traveling by VPN, you can see how it varies only slightly in other Western countries (A$28.95 in Australia, £15.49 in the UK, CDN$22.79 in Canada; which is US$20.53, 19.48, and 17.82 respectively).
But you may be able to pick up the game at about half the cost in other parts of the world. In Hong Kong, I was able to get mine for HK$89 (US$11.34). Other countries are similar (R 130 in South Africa) or even cheaper (₹ 529 in India, ARS$224.99 in Argentina) which is US$8.25, 6.82, and 1.88 respectively. As for why, we can only guess, but such pricing is generally tailored for the market value of local economies.
Those of us anticipating the game’s release were kept waiting a while, but it finally came out in the final hours of the expected day. The game was originally scheduled to release around 3 p.m. EST on Wednesday, May 25 according to Pop’s Steam page. Poptropica didn’t explain what caused the delay, but did tweet an apology around 8 p.m. EST. It was finally released about 1 a.m. EST on Thursday.
The Poptropica Steam bundle includes Realms as well as 17 islands (+1 if you count the tutorial, Snagglemast): Mythology (classic), Shrink Ray, Poptropolis Games, Monster Carnival, Time Tangled, Mystery of the Map, Virus Hunter, 24 Carrot, Galactic Hot Dogs, Mocktropica, Escape From Pelican Rock, Reality TV: Wild Safari, Timmy Failure, and all episodes of Survival, PoptropiCon, Arabian Nights, and Mission Atlantis — also known as the AS3 islands, or the newer bunch of the old islands.🏝 Playing requires an internet connection and logging into your account, which is connected to your desktop or mobile game.
Anyway, we’re off to play this Steam game! We’ll update more soon, so stay tuned. Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

’I’m surprised, my price prediction was correct I guessed it was either $10 to $20 dollars and I was surprised. Don’t believe me. find it on the blog page called “C” for Cost? Steam Islands Not Free” on the Poptropica blog or search it up and you will find the link to it.
wrong link let me find it
Can’t find it, but I did predict it in a blog somewhere.
Found it in our blog post about the 5th Steam hint. 🙂 Good guesses!
Thank you for finding my prediction I made, what could I have done without you. Anyway, this is going to be my last comment in a long while, but I will be back in around August, see you then and have a great summer. (I will try and get Poptropica on steam)
Have a great summer, Links!

Yup, if you have the old (pre-2022) version of the app, you can play most of these! However, the Steam bundle does include some that are/were not on mobile: Monster Carnival, Mocktropica, Poptropolis Games, Virus Hunter, and the create-your-own-world Realms.
