SimplePlanes 2 Mobile Release Date: The Direct Answer
There is no confirmed SimplePlanes 2 mobile release date.
The game launched April 23, 2026 on PC via Steam Early Access — Windows and macOS only. Jundroo, the developer, has confirmed that mobile is planned but hasn't committed to a specific window. Based on statements in the official FAQ and community forums, the target is late 2026 or 2027.
The simplest version: if you're on iPhone, iPad, or Android right now, you cannot play SimplePlanes 2. That won't change until Jundroo makes an announcement.
SimplePlanes 2 on PC: What Launched in April 2026
SimplePlanes 2 entered Steam Early Access on April 23, 2026, priced at $19.99 (with a 10% launch discount bringing it to $17.99 for the first 14 days). The PC version launched to Very Positive reviews — 90% of 585 user reviews were positive as of early May.
The PC Early Access build as of April 2026 — the same foundation the mobile port will be based on.
The PC launch includes:
- A 787 square kilometer explorable archipelago
- Procedural wing parts using NACA airfoil profiles
- Multiplayer lobbies for up to 10 players
- Backwards compatibility with 1,000,000+ crafts from the original SimplePlanes
- Procedural missile creation and underwater parts
- VR support listed as a planned Early Access feature
Jundroo has stated the Early Access period will run approximately one year. That puts a potential 1.0 PC launch around April 2027.

Mobile Version: What Jundroo Has Said
The official SimplePlanes 2 FAQ addresses mobile directly. The short version: it's coming, but after PC.
A community-built variable-geometry aircraft in the PC Early Access build — the starting point for the eventual mobile version.
Jundroo's stated position is that they plan "to eventually work on bringing SimplePlanes 2 to mobile" and will give updates when the time comes. The development forum thread titled "SimplePlanes 2: how will you bring it to mobile" drew an official response noting they don't expect to delay mobile indefinitely but acknowledged a slip to 2027 is possible.
That's the extent of the public commitment — no date, no beta signup, no platform-specific announcement. The FAQ also notes that after mobile, console and Meta Quest are described as possible future platforms.
The honest read: mobile is not being actively built right now. The PC Early Access is the current focus. Mobile development will likely start after the PC version reaches a stable state, which matches the "approximately one year" EA timeline.
iOS vs Android: Which Platform First?
Jundroo hasn't specified. The original SimplePlanes released simultaneously on iOS and Android on December 10, 2014, at $5.99 on iOS. SimpleRockets 2 (Jundroo's rocket-building game, now called Juno: New Origins) also launched on both mobile platforms in the same window.
The pattern from both previous Jundroo games suggests a simultaneous iOS and Android release is more likely than a staggered one. But no announcement has been made for SimplePlanes 2.

What the Original SimplePlanes Mobile Tells Us
The original SimplePlanes launched on PC in December 2014 and hit iOS and Android on the same day. The mobile version cost $5.99 — not free-to-play. Jundroo has historically kept its games as paid apps rather than going ad-supported or freemium.
That matters for expectations. SimplePlanes 2 mobile, when it arrives, will likely be a paid download. The PC version costs $19.99; mobile pricing tends to be lower, but Jundroo hasn't indicated a free-to-play model. Anyone waiting for a free mobile version should not count on it.
The original also supported mods on mobile — though Android later lost that capability when Google dropped 32-bit app support. SimplePlanes 2 is built on a newer architecture, so mod support on mobile is plausible but unconfirmed.
One practical point: SimplePlanes 2 is significantly more complex than its predecessor. Procedural NACA wing editing and 10-player multiplayer sessions are computationally heavier than what the original asked of phones in 2014. Jundroo will need to either scale down features for mobile or require newer hardware. That engineering work is part of why mobile follows PC, not the other way around.
