One purchase across devices

The publisher says the mobile version is part of the Google Play Games program, with a single purchase covering phones, tablets, and PC through that program.

Sad Cat Studios and Atari also report more than 900,000 players across all platforms since the game’s spring 2026 release. That is a player milestone, not an announced sales figure.

An AI trapped in a human body

REPLACED follows R.E.A.C.H., an artificial intelligence trapped in a human body, through an alternate 1980s America. Its story combines exploration, platforming, melee combat, and gunplay in the corrupt streets of Phoenix-City.

REPLACED combines pixel art with cinematic lighting and effects. Official imagery: Sad Cat Studios / Thunderful Publishing.

Players can pre-register on Google Play. For something to play while waiting, see our Android games guide.
