My Arms Are Longer Now release date on Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 is 11 March 2027. Nintendo gave both platforms and the exact date at its October Indie World presentation for this offbeat stealth-comedy game from developer Toot Games and publisher Jackbox Games.
You’re a thief with an absurdly long, flexible arm. The game turns the arm into a tool for reaching through vents, slipping past obstacles and stealing objects while a weary detective tries to work out who’s responsible. It’s a single-player heist comedy, not another Jackbox party collection.
My Arms Are Longer Now release date on Switch consoles
Nintendo’s announcement names 11 March 2027 for both Switch systems. Jackbox Games and Toot Games have announced the same 11 March 2027 release date for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and both Nintendo Switch consoles.
There is no stated UK Nintendo eShop price in the showcase. Anyone comparing versions should use the correct store entry rather than importing a PC price or release date into the Switch listing.
How does the stretchy-arm gameplay work?
The player controls one grotesquely elastic arm, moving it through tight spaces to grab objects from places a regular thief could never reach. The premise mixes stealth and environmental puzzles with physical comedy.
Nintendo demonstrates reaching through vents, beneath furniture and out of windows. The aim is to make the most of an extremely unusual body part, rather than moving an ordinary character around a standard platforming course.
What can you steal?
The objects range from loose change to increasingly strange possessions, with missions built around getting a hand on valuables while avoiding detection. The range of possible thefts is a big part of the comedy.
Jackbox has described heists involving bicycles and children’s birthday parties. You can even put a sock over the arm and try to charm a lonely guard.
My Arms Are Longer Now release date: the detective
A detective who is close to retirement investigates the crime spree. He narrates and questions the victims, giving the ridiculous thefts a hard-boiled crime-story backdrop.
Nintendo’s preview highlights 48 voiced characters, featuring Australian comedians. That is a specific announced production detail, not evidence that every character is playable or that the game has a 48-person multiplayer mode.
Can you customise the arm?
Yes. Nintendo mentions options including arm hair, tattoos and bite marks. Those changes fit the game’s deliberately odd humour and give players ways to make the stretchy limb look even stranger.
Tattoos, arm hair and bite marks let you customise the arm itself, matching the game’s deliberately revolting sense of humour.
Does Jackbox make this a party game?
Jackbox Games is the publisher, but Toot Games developed the actual title. The Steam store identifies it as a single-player experience, built around puzzles, stealth and comedy.
It shouldn’t be labelled as a Jackbox Party Pack game merely because of the publishing relationship. There is no official announcement of local couch parties, online voting rounds or required group sizes for the Nintendo versions.
