A Cult Classic Has Returned! After Reaching 40+ Million Players Since 2001, Icy Tower Launches on Steam in November

Göteborg, Sweden – October 28, 2026 | From the original developers of the original Icy Tower comes a complete remake of the same name, launching on PC and Mac (via Steam) on November 10.

Icy Tower is a fast-paced vertical platformer where you try to climb as high as possible in an endless tower. With over 40 million players since its initial launch back in 2001, the original team is excited to bring a completely new version to Steam.

Chain impossible combo jumps, bounce off walls, and risk everything for new high scores. But one mistake and it is back to the bottom. Designed with a simple pickup-and-play approach, Icy Tower aims to provide that "one more try" arcade gameplay from yesteryear. 

As the difficulty ramps up, Icy Tower will push your timing, precision, and nerves to the limit. Jump through the many colorful biomes of the tower, ranging from ancient temples to libraries and roaring volcanoes!

"Icy Tower is very close to our hearts and it becoming a part of a lot of people's childhood has been nothing short of amazing," say original creators Johan and Anders. "We're super proud of the new version and are sure it will delight old fans as well as new ones."

Icy Tower is slated to release on PC and Mac (via Steam) on November 10, 2026 for $11.99 USD. For more information, be sure to follow the game's progress on the publisher's official Discord.
