My Arms Are Longer Now Release Date Brings the Long Arm of Crime to March
Apparently, the perfect thief does not need lockpicks, elaborate gadgets or even particularly strong morals. One extremely long and unpleasant arm will do. Toot Games and publisher Jackbox Games have confirmed that My Arms Are Longer Now will launch on March 11, 2027, for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
The date was revealed during Nintendo’s latest Indie World Showcase alongside a new gameplay and release date trailer, giving another look at the 2D stealth comedy’s unusual approach to petty crime.
We first covered My Arms Are Longer Now when Jackbox Games announced its publishing partnership earlier this year. The March release now gives Toot Games’ debut a firm landing point, while also marking the first external game published through Jackbox’s expanding publishing label.
One Very Long Arm Makes for a Strange Heist
My Arms Are Longer Now puts players in control of a thief whose primary criminal advantage is exactly what the title promises. The arm can stretch through environments, snake around obstacles and retract back towards its owner, allowing players to steal anything they can reach while keeping security from discovering where the suspicious limb actually begins.
Money and valuables are obvious targets, but Toot Games is considerably less selective than that. Bikes, household items and even family pets can apparently become fair game, with each environment effectively functioning as a playground for increasingly ridiculous theft.
Getting something within grabbing distance is only the beginning. Players can work their arm through vents and underneath seats, manipulate objects around the environment and improvise solutions when someone stands between them and their next questionable acquisition.
One example even involves putting a sock over the hand to fool a security guard. Clearly, flawless disguise technology has peaked.
A Detective Is Following the Trail of Missing Stuff
Repeated theft naturally attracts attention, and a steadily deteriorating detective is attempting to work out who is behind the growing trail of disappearances.
That gives the game a loose narrative thread connecting its environmental puzzles and physical comedy, with players finding different ways to avoid detection while continuing to steal things they absolutely do not need.
The concept originated with Melbourne-based Toot Games, whose deliberately scrappy visual style turns the extended arm into both a useful tool and an awkward physical problem. Jackbox describes the game as a single-player blend of stealth, comedy and environmental problem-solving.
My Arms Are Longer Now Starts Jackbox Games’ Publishing Push
The release is notable beyond the arm itself. My Arms Are Longer Now is the debut game from Toot Games and the first external title being published by Jackbox Games, expanding the company beyond the party games it has traditionally developed and published internally.
Jackbox has already had a busy 2026 with The Jackbox Party Pack 12 continuing its multiplayer formula, but its work with Toot Games shows how its taste for accessible comedy could translate beyond the party-game space.
My Arms Are Longer Now launches March 11, 2027, for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
