My Arms Are Longer Now Console Release Expands Jackbox Games’ Weird New Heist
My Arms Are Longer Now is stretching beyond PC, with Jackbox Games and Toot Games confirming that the comedic heist puzzler will also launch on consoles in 2027.
The announcement arrived in the form of a new cinematic trailer, which debuted at BitSummit in Kyoto, Japan, and included fresh gameplay footage from the upcoming single-player game. My Arms Are Longer Now is still set to launch on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store later this year, with PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and Nintendo Switch 2 versions planned after that.
For Jackbox Games, the update continues an interesting shift away from its party-game identity. The publisher’s partnership with Australian indie team Toot Games already suggested a broader appetite for comedy-driven projects, and My Arms Are Longer Now now has a clearer route toward a much wider audience.
A Comedy Heist Game Built Around One Ridiculous Arm
The hook of the game remains wonderfully direct. Players control a thief whose extremely long arm becomes both the main tool and the main problem. Each level is built around using that arm to interact with environments, solve puzzles, and pull off increasingly ridiculous crimes.
The examples already shared suggest a tone centred on petty chaos rather than serious criminal fantasy, ranging from stealing bicycles to ruining children’s birthday parties. That is where the game’s personality comes through. My Arms Are Longer Now is not simply using comedy as decoration. Its humour appears tied directly to how awkward, messy, and physically strange it is to manipulate objects from a distance.
Toot Games Brings Indie Comedy Experience To The Project
My Arms Are Longer Now is being developed by a small Australian team led by Matthew Jackson and Millie Holten. Jackson previously worked as a game designer on Need for Speed: No Limits and was nominated for Excellence in Micro Games at the 2023 Freeplay Awards.
Holten is known for creating Long Head, a web comedy series that has garnered tens of millions of views and earned a nomination from the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts. That background helps explain why My Arms Are Longer Now feels so focused on physical comedy and visual absurdity.
The result could be a useful fit for Jackbox Games’ publishing label. While it is not a party game, it still sits comfortably within Jackbox’s wider comedic sensibility, built around simple ideas that become funnier once players start experimenting with them.
PC Arrives First Before A Wider Console Push
The game will launch first on Steam and Epic Games Store later this year, where players can wishlist it now. Console versions are expected to follow in early 2027.
The staggered release gives the game time to build momentum on PC before reaching a broader console audience. That could work well for a comedy puzzle game where clips, strange solutions, and unexpected failures are likely to become part of the appeal.
For now, the new trailer gives My Arms Are Longer Now another push into the spotlight. It remains one of Jackbox Games’ strangest upcoming publishing bets, but also one that makes immediate sense once the premise clicks.
