Club Penguin Rewritten to Become Playable on Mobile
Some speculation had built earlier in the month when there was a little hint that Club Penguin Rewritten could become playable on mobile devices in the future. This has now been confirmed by the team.
All of this is to do with the game being migrated to a more modern technology, in which there’ll be an official blog post about soon regarding a public test. The exact details aren’t entirely known yet, but the team have said the first test is “almost ready”.
One of the benefits of us switching to HTML5 and other technologies is CPR will be playable on the majority of phones [and tablets] from release.

Update (16th July): this is a common question which I wanted to address – this doesn’t necessarily mean an app will be created that’s dedicated to the game. I’d find that to be pretty unlikely. Instead, it’s more likely that this means you will be able to play the game on your default browser.
Currently, some people used third party apps to play the game on mobile devices, but it’ll be pretty cool to have a way to do so officially! In regards to when to expect this, there’s been a bit more shared than “almost ready” lately.
I don’t have a date to share; it’s been worked on pretty much every day though so everyday is a day closer.

There’s been a lot of news on this new HTML5 version lately, but I’ll ensure to keep you updated as more is released!
Thank you for reading, waddle on!

I have been playing cpr on my phone. Is an app going to come? In the play store?

It may be an app, or it may just be that you can play it in your browser. I think the latter is more likely.

For the HTML5 version, you can just go to the link in your browser: https://play.cprewritten.net/2020/

Wohoo! Being based mainly on mobile myself, it’s harder for me to get to a computer. It will be interesting if/when this feature comes out.

What is puffin browser, and how do you play on it on mobile?
Torres 126
Puffin Browser is essentially a third-party app on the Google Play Store that allows you to access sites that require Flash Player, such as Club Penguin Rewritten!

Hopefully the app will be functional by the end of the year and across most of the different brands of devices.

It’ll probably mean being able to play in your browser rather than a specific app dedicated to the game!
