DIGIMON UP

DIGIMON UP is Bandai Namco's new free-to-play, monster-raising RPG for mobile, built around the concept “A Digimon journey that moves with your life.” Bandai Namco's official site confirms the game's release date as July 15, 2026 (Wednesday, Japan Standard Time), and the game is now live on the App Store and Google Play. Coverage from the day of launch notes that some regions are on a separate, later rollout dated July 28, 2026, which matches what the current US App Store listing still shows for that storefront. Players create a Tamer avatar, hatch a Digi-Egg into one of 15 Rookie-level Partner Digimon, and raise it toward Mega Digivolution through feeding, training, and turn-based battles, alongside recruitable Support Digimon and Digimon Card and Digivice tie-ins. The game is mobile-only: it has not been released for PC, Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo platforms.

Latest update

Bandai Namco's official DIGIMON UP site confirms the release date as July 15th (Wed) JST, and outlets including Gematsu reported the game live on iOS and Android on the same day.

Reporting from launch day notes that while the global release is set for July 15, some regions are on a separate, later rollout dated July 28, 2026 — which lines up with what the current US App Store listing shows for that storefront specifically.

Release date and status

Platforms and availability

DIGIMON UP is available free to download on the App Store for iOS/iPadOS and on Google Play for Android. It is a mobile-only release and has not been announced for PC, Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo platforms.

The official Google Play listing shows the game rated for 3+ with in-game purchases that include random items, while the App Store listing carries a 9+ age rating and separately discloses loot box contents.

Gameplay overview

At the start of the game, players customize a Tamer avatar and hatch a Digi-Egg into one of 15 confirmed Rookie-level Partner Digimon, including series favorites such as Agumon, Veemon, and Guilmon.

Core play loops around feeding and training the partner to raise its stats, then Digivolving it through successive stages up to Mega Digivolution. Players can also recruit Support Digimon that fight alongside the main partner, and the game references equippable skill cards along with tie-ins to physical Digivices and the Digimon Trading Card Game.

Developer and publisher

DIGIMON UP is developed and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc., under license from Akiyoshi Hongo and Toei Animation, the rights holders behind the Digimon franchise.

Download and availability

Mobile players can download DIGIMON UP directly from the App Store (iOS/iPadOS) or Google Play (Android) using the official regional storefront listings linked from Bandai Namco's DIGIMON UP site.

The game is free to play with an in-game cash shop; the App Store listing shows Digiemerald and Digidiamond currency bundles ranging from $5.99 to $64.99, plus a $5.99 Digital Boost Pass and a $5.99 Digidiamond Membership.

System / Device Requirements

The official App Store listing states DIGIMON UP requires iOS 15.0 or later on iPhone and iPod touch, and iPadOS 15.0 or later on iPad, with an app size of 219.5 MB.

The official Google Play listing does not publish a specific minimum Android OS version or device specification in its standard listing as of this check. Third-party APK mirrors show conflicting unofficial figures for the minimum Android version, so no single Android OS requirement is stated here to avoid reporting an unverified number.

Trailer, screenshots, and media

Bandai Namco's official DIGIMON UP Launch Trailer shows the pixel-art Digivolution and battle presentation referenced across the game's marketing.
