Bloons TD 6 started as a phone game and now sells in ten places. The table below is the single best answer to "where can I play it", and the sections after it cover the differences between editions that stores do not advertise. Dates with sourcing live on the release date page.

The two subscription editions
The Netflix edition and the Apple Arcade edition are included with their subscriptions and carry no in-app purchases in the normal sense. They are full games, not demos, but they are not identical to the store editions:
- The Netflix edition has no shop at all, pays 50% more Monkey Money per game, includes the Rogue Legends DLC since March 2025, and cannot exchange gift codes or trade saves with any other edition.
- The Apple Arcade edition includes the Rogue Legends DLC to play, and also exists on visionOS, which no other edition does.
Consoles update later
The Switch, PS4 and Xbox editions are the same game but historically receive updates well behind Steam and mobile. When a new update lands, expect the console versions to follow weeks or months later, and check our updates page before assuming a feature is missing.
⚠️ Unconfirmed. The exact update gap for each console edition is not published anywhere official. We track it from community reports, so treat "consoles lag behind" as the rule and specific timing as anecdotal.
FAQ
Can I move my save from mobile to Steam?
Progress syncs through cloud saves within the same platform family, but saves do not transfer between editions. The Netflix edition is the strictest case: it refuses both imports and exports.
Does co-op work across different stores?
Yes. Co-op sessions match players across editions, which is unusual for this kind of release and worth knowing if your group mixes mobile and PC.
Which platform should I buy it on?
If you want the fastest updates, Steam or mobile. If you already pay for Netflix or Apple Arcade, check those first because the game is already included. See our price page for the full breakdown.
