About this game
Cookie Clicker is a renowned incremental game that has captivated players since its initial release in 2013. Developed by French programmer Julien "Orteil" Thiennot, the game challenges players to produce an ever-increasing number of cookies by clicking on a large cookie icon and investing in various assets that automate production. These assets range from cursors and grandmas to farms, factories, and even portals, each contributing to the player's cookie output. The game's simplicity, combined with its depth and humor, has solidified its status as a classic in the idle gaming genre.
Over the years, Cookie Clicker has received numerous updates, introducing features such as mini-games, seasonal events, and a prestige system that allows players to reset their progress for permanent upgrades. Notably, the game expanded its reach by launching on Steam in September 2021, featuring a soundtrack composed by C418. Further broadening its accessibility, Cookie Clicker was released on consoles, including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch, in May 2025.
