Growtopia, commonly abbreviated as GT, is a massively multiplayer online sandbox video game developed by Ubisoft Abu Dhabi and formerly by indie developers Robinson Technologies and Hamumu Software where players can farm, build worlds, converse with others, and engage in player versus player combat.[1] The game was initially released for Android in November 2012, and later for iOS, Microsoft Windows, and OS X in 2013. It was also released for the Nintendo Switch,[2] PlayStation 4,[3] and Xbox One in 2019,[4] but support for each console would later be discontinued on July 30, 2020.[5]

On February 28, 2017, a Ubisoft acquirement of Growtopia was announced and completed during Ubisoft's 2016-17 fourth quarter, with the original developers becoming design and general advisors for the game's continued development.[6] Growtopia utilizes the freemium model.[7]
