Starting April 9, 2026, Puyo Puyo Puzzle Pop on Apple Arcade has added a new "Puyo Garden" mode, where players can raise their very own puyo character.
Raise Your Own Puyo in Puyo Garden
The new Puyo Garden mode lets players select a puyo, give it a name, and settle into a relaxed daily life together. Activities include poking your puyo, giving it snacks, and exercising with it — all ways to deepen the bond with your puyo companion.
Puyo Battle
Once a puyo is raised, it can enter a battle — but whether you win or lose is entirely up to your puyo!
Deco Puyo
Accumulate points to unlock stylish costumes for your puyo. There are plenty of outfits to find and equip.
About Puyo Puyo Puzzle Pop
Puyo Puyo Puzzle Pop is the latest entry in the Puyo Puyo series. The game delivers the satisfying chain-clearing action classic to the series — connect four or more same-colored blobs to clear them — available to play anytime, anywhere.
Multiple rule sets are included: from classics like "Puyo Puyo Tsu" and "Puyo Puyo Fever" to "Nazo Puyo" and "Chibi Puyo Hakkutsu," offering a wide range of gameplay styles.
In addition to "Minna de Puyo Puyo," an online multiplayer mode for up to four players, the game features numerous solo modes including "Adventure" (a fully original story), "Tokoton" (a high-score single-player challenge), "Lesson" (for learning Puyo Puyo rules and techniques), and "Photo Mode" (for creating custom comedy skits).
About the Puyo Puyo Series
The Puyo Puyo series is an action puzzle game loved around the world for over 30 years. The original Puyo Puyo debuted in 1991 on MSX2 and the Famicom Disk System, followed by the arcade and Mega Drive versions from SEGA in 1992. The game became a massive hit thanks to its simple rules, charming characters, and the introduction of competitive head-to-head gameplay — a first for falling-block puzzle games. The series has since expanded across home consoles, PCs, and smartphones, attracting fans of all ages and generations.
As a JeSU (Japan esports Union) certified title, Puyo Puyo also has an active presence in the esports scene, with professional players competing at events both in Japan and internationally. In 2026, the series celebrates its 35th anniversary.
