Another Axiom announced Gorilla Tag, Quest’s most popular game, is coming to mobile devices in a standalone game, titled Gorilla Tag: Monke Mayhem.
The free-to-play sandbox game is slated to land on iOS and Android devices sometime next year, with other platforms planned to be announced at a later date. As it is, it seems the studio is keeping the original version exclusive to VR headsets.
Another Axiom says it’s still in deep development of the mobile title, although broad testing is expected to come in the near future. In the meantime, the studio showed off a work-in-progress version at GorillaCon 2026, which took place during VidCon last week.
For now, the studio says instances will support up to 50 players, although in the past the company has experimented with server architectures that have allowed them to support up to 75 players in its sci-fi sports follow-up Orion Drift.
As one of the most-downloaded Quest games several years in a row since its 2021 early access release, the arm-swinging game of monkey tag has a very good chance of appealing to its core audience—essentially teens and pre-teens—and more importantly taking the game’s revenue to new heights.
Granted, the mobile version will lose Gorilla Tag’s infectious locomotion method, as users instead rely on on-screen UI, although it’s clear word of mouth has gotten around the playground. Another Axiom hasn’t shared any recent figures since it first announced the game had topped $100 million revenue in mid-2024, which the studio said included around 3 million monthly active users.
Notably, this follows a recent trend of VR developers looking towards flatscreen users to boost engagement, with notable VR-to-flatscreen offerings including Vertigo Games’ Arizona Sunshine, Polyarc Games Moss, and Meta’s own social VR platform Horizon Worlds focusing on mobile moving forward.
