About Goat Simulator

Goat Simulator 3 is a direct sequel to Goat Simulator, a silly game that started life as an April Fool’s joke born out of a game jam. In 2014, Goat Simulator became a true goat simulation sensation, selling millions of units across consoles and PC, as well as ‘earning’ ports to Nintendo Switch, iOS, Android, and most recently Apple Arcade.
 
Goat Simulator 3 builds on everything fans of the first game loved, raising the baa to brand new heights (sometimes literally). Goat Simulator 3 originally launched on the Epic Games Store, as well as Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 on 17th November 2022, before arriving on Mobile in December 2023, and Steam in February 2024.
