About Don't Starve Together

Don't Starve Together on mobile is Klei's multiplayer survival game, ported by Playdigious and sold once — $9.99 on both stores — with online co-op and skins shared with your PC or console account. It shipped on July 21, 2026, weighs 1.9 GB on iPhone and needs iOS 15.6 or Android 8. The compromises are in the details: a Bolt skin shop to $49.99 inside a paid game, and touch controls that make tilling soil and Wanda's backstep watch a chore, per the first reviews.

Don't Starve Together Review: The Whole Constant for $9.99, Skins Extra

$9.99 Once, Online Servers, and Your PC Skins Come With You

The price is one purchase — $9.99 on Google Play and the App Store on the day we checked — and what it buys is the complete standalone multiplayer Don't Starve: The Constant, its seasons, giants and ruins, the full character roster with their own perks, world-generation settings to tune the difficulty, and online play in private games or public servers. The port feature that matters most is Shared Unlocks: link your account to the PC and console game and the skins and characters you already own appear on the phone. The store pages do not state whether phone players share servers with PC players. Cloud saves cover Android devices and controllers are supported. Two months in, the numbers are modest — over 10,000 installs and 2,660 reviews at 4.2 on Play, 400 App Store ratings at 4.1 — and the July 2026 review with the most votes opens with relief that it exists at all.

Tilling, Backstep Watches and an Inventory Bug Playdigious Fixed

The touch complaints are specific to Don't Starve's fiddliness. The 10-vote July 25, 2026 review reports that tilling soil moves the previous till spot instead of creating a new one, which makes farming tedious, and asks for drag-and-drop so items can be dropped into the sea. An August 30 review from a Wanda player explains the cost of a two-tap interface: her backstep watch is the dodge, and on touch it takes a tap to select and a tap to activate, a second she does not have. The bug that got fixed is the inventory: an August 15 review with 8 votes describes items snapping back to their slots so food spoiled in the field, Playdigious pointed to update 1.3.0, and the reviewer confirmed the fix held through long sessions. The Android build reached version 2.1.1 on September 16, 2026, the iOS build 1.2.3 two days later — a patch cadence of roughly one a month since launch.

Bolts to $49.99 Inside a Paid Game, and 1.9 GB on iOS 15.6

The shop is the asterisk. Both stores list in-app purchases: Google Play from $2.99 to $49.99, and the App Store's ladder is Bolt Chests — 3,000 Bolts for $2.99, 5,500 for $4.99, then $9.99, $19.99 and a Humongous chest at $49.99 — a currency for cosmetic skins, the same system as the PC game. Nothing sold affects survival, and neither store shows an advertising badge or loot boxes, but a $49.99 top tier inside a $9.99 game is worth knowing before you buy for a child. Requirements are iOS 15.6 with 1.9 GB free, or Android 8.0. Google's data-safety card declares no data collected and none shared with third parties. Rated Teen on Play and 13+ by Apple, in 11 languages, with Playdigious as the port developer and support desk. Prices are regional.

Pros

The full multiplayer Don't Starve for $9.99, no ads, no energy
Online co-op in private games or public servers, plus local co-op per the listing
Shared Unlocks bring skins and characters from your PC or console account
Controller support, cloud saves and world settings to tune difficulty
Playdigious shipped the inventory fix within weeks of the report

Cons

Bolt skin chests up to $49.99 inside a paid game
Tilling and quick-use items such as Wanda's watch fight the two-tap touch scheme
1.9 GB on iPhone with iOS 15.6 as the floor
4.1–4.2 ratings — a rougher reception than Playdigious's other ports

Verdict

A 7.8 for the real Don't Starve Together on a phone at one price, sharing skins with the PC game — and a mark off for a $49.99 skin chest inside a paid app and touch controls that turn farming into work. Take it if you want to survive with friends online and can add a controller for long sittings. Skip it if you want a purely offline survival game, if your phone is below iOS 15.6 or Android 8, or if a cosmetic shop in a game you already paid for grates.

Gameplay9The Constant in full — seasons, giants, ruins, the whole roster — with online servers and world settings.

Controls6Controller support helps; on touch, tilling misfires and Wanda's backstep watch needs two taps, per 2026 reviews.

Replay value9Klei's years of content, random worlds and public servers; skins from PC carry over.

Graphics & sound8The ink-and-paper Constant at 1.9 GB, readable on a phone; the crowded HUD is the trade.

Monetisation7$9.99 once and no ads, but a Bolt shop to $49.99 for skins sits inside the paid game.

Frequently asked questions

Can you play Don't Starve Together offline?

The store pages describe it as a multiplayer survival game and list no offline mode: public servers, private games with friends and Shared Unlocks all need a connection. Treat it as online-first, and if you want a guaranteed offline survival game, the single-player Don't Starve is the port to buy instead.

Is Don't Starve Together free on mobile?

No. It is a paid app at $9.99 on Google Play and the App Store, with no advertising badge — and it also carries a skin shop: Bolt Chests from $2.99 to a $49.99 Humongous chest on the App Store, cosmetic only, the same currency as on PC. Nothing sold changes survival. Prices vary by region.

What phone do you need for Don't Starve Together?

iOS 15.6 or newer with 1.9 GB free, or Android 8.0 or newer. A controller is supported and, given the touch complaints about tilling and quick-use items, worth having for long sessions. The July 2026 reviews report it running smoothly on their devices; the store pages do not list a recommended chipset.

Can you play Don't Starve Together with friends?

Yes — that is the game: private co-op games and public servers online, and the listing also mentions local co-op. Shared Unlocks link accounts so skins and characters match your PC or console game; whether phone players can join PC servers is not stated on the store pages, so check in-game before planning a mixed group.

How much time does Don't Starve Together take?

Survival is measured in in-game days and a world can run for hundreds of them; a session is however long your camp lasts, and there are no real-time timers, passes or daily tasks pulling you back. The touch interface adds time to fiddly jobs — farming and quick-use items, per the 2026 reviews — which is the port's main cost against the PC version.
