DIGIMON UP
DIGIMON UP is a free mobile game about raising one Digimon of your own and watching it grow stronger over time. You play as a Tamer, the human partner who feeds a chosen Digimon, trains it, gives it better equipment, and guides it through a chain of transformations called Digivolution until it reaches its strongest forms. Most fighting happens automatically, so progress continues while you are away and you come back to collect rewards and decide what to improve next. Alongside your main partner you collect other Digimon and familiar Tamers from the Digimon series, who join battles as helpers and change how your team fights. Bandai Namco Entertainment runs the game as an ongoing service and draws it in newly created pixel art.

Latest update
As of September 9, 2026, Apple's App Store lists Version 1.3.1 as the current DIGIMON UP client. The Google Play listing was last updated on September 2, the same day the current live content cycle began.
The newest featured Buddy is Takato Matsuki & Guilmon, whose EX+ Buddy Summon runs through September 16 at 14:59 UTC+9. The pairing is designed around strengthening Normal Attacks while weakening an enemy's defenses against Normal Attack damage.
Apollomon is the matching EX+ SP Support and runs on the same schedule. Apollomon is built for Counterattack teams, providing Counterattack Damage UP together with an effect that reduces Stun Chance when Counterattack activates. A limited Bond EXP UP event runs during the same period and multiplies Partner Digimon Bond EXP by x10.
On September 3, Bandai Namco published balance adjustments for several Support Digimon and Skill Cards based on their usage rates. SSR Support Digimon including Hi-Commandramon, Sistermon Noir and Lavorvomon received stat increases, GR and LR Support Digimon received smaller increases, and the LR+ Skill Card We Have to Stop Fighting! had its cooldown extended from 18.0 to 23.0 seconds. Bandai Namco stated that further adjustments may follow when usage rates differ too widely.
Lost Sector Tower returned with the September 2 update after being suspended for allowing faster progression than intended, which created large Crest differences between players. Its maximum playable stage is currently capped at Stage 120 while affected Crests and compensation are handled separately.

Platforms and availability
DIGIMON UP officially supports Android and iOS / iPadOS. Android players can install the game through Google Play, while iPhone and iPad users can download it through Apple's App Store.
Bandai Namco's official website lists only App Store and Google Play as distribution platforms. There is currently no officially listed native Windows, macOS, PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch version.
The game is offered internationally and supports English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, and Traditional Chinese through Apple's current storefront listing.
Bandai Namco warns that some devices may remain unsupported even if they use a listed operating system, so meeting the basic OS requirement does not guarantee compatibility on every phone or tablet.
Gameplay and setting
DIGIMON UP centers on raising a Partner Digimon. Players choose a partner, feed it, train it, strengthen its equipment and supporting systems, and continue through multiple Digivolution stages with the goal of reaching Mega Digivolution.
The game uses newly created pixel art for its Digimon and Tamer presentation. Familiar Digimon franchise concepts are incorporated throughout the progression systems, including Digivices, Digimon Card Game-inspired elements, Tamers, Partner Digimon, and characters drawn from multiple generations of Digimon media.
Combat strength extends beyond the main Partner Digimon. Support Digimon, SP Supports, Buddies, Skill Cards, Overdrives, equipment, and Digivice Passive Bonuses can alter damage, defense, attack speed, critical effects, counterattacks, and other battle properties.
Buddies pair recognizable Tamers with Digimon, including Tai Kamiya & Agumon, Davis Motomiya & Veemon, Matt Ishida & Gabumon, and Takato Matsuki & Guilmon. SP Supports provide another layer of combat specialization through Digimon such as Aegiochusmon, MetalGarurumon, and Apollomon.
The Hologram Device is tied to equipment and progression, while the Super Hologram Device provides an alternative for spending larger quantities of Hologram Tickets at once and pursuing rare gear more efficiently.
Long-term activities and systems include Training Ground, dungeons, Battle Terminal content, D-1 Grand Prix, Lost Sector Tower, Crest progression, Apocalymon Wall, Bond Levels, summons, server-based account progression, events, and idle reward systems.
Accounts are separated by server. Selecting an unused server creates separate progression on that server rather than transferring an existing Tamer, Partner Digimon, inventory, and account progress.
