Pocket Mortys is shutting down: how to play everything for free before the end

The mobile RPG Pocket Mortys will shut down on April 13, 2026, completing a ten-year journey on mobile devices. Following this decision, the developers have removed all in-app purchases, letting players access all content for free starting now.

Inspired by the Adult Swim series, the game won over audiences by adapting the Pokémon formula to the Rick and Morty multiverse. Since its 2016 launch, the title has racked up millions of downloads and kept a loyal base of half a million monthly active users. However, the cycle comes to an end after stints with studios such as Big Pixel Studios and Pocket Sized Hands.

What changes with the shutdown

• Pocket Mortys was developed by Big Pixel Studios, Tag Games and Pocket Sized Hands.
• In-app purchases have been removed and everything in the game is now available for free.
• Pocket Mortys will shut down permanently on April 13.

Pocket Sized Hands, which handled the game for the last five years, revealed that the project grew far beyond what was originally expected. The studio also created hundreds of Morty variants and special events that tied the game directly to episodes of the cartoon. So this is the last chance for fans to complete their collections and explore every dimension without spending a cent.
