Squido Studio has launched the Early Access edition of Brainrot Animals, a colorful mining and creature-collecting game. The game benefited from a successful limited alpha phase, and now expands with a new world, new creatures, and major progression updates.
What is Brainrot Animals?
In Brainrot Animals, players earn coins, mine, hatch eggs, and build squads of “brainrot” pets. The game is designed to be easy to pick up and fun to replay: fast mining gameplay, simple progression, and plenty of surprises as players uncover new pets and upgrades.
Inspired by viral internet culture, Brainrot Animals features the internet’s wildest meme characters as fully playable pets. As stated above, the Early Access version of the game has expanded with a new world and thus, new creatures. Furthermore, a major progression update has been designed to keep players exploring and discovering more than ever.
Early Access Additions
With the start of Early Access, the game introduces World 2, a brand-new area accessible from the World 1 spawn cannon. World 2 brings new steampunk and sci-fi inspired environments, better loot, new breakable types, and six additional resource currencies that expand mining variety and rewards.
Players will also find ten new pets spanning Tiers 11–20, including quirky newcomers like Espresso Signora, Spaghetti Tualetti, Luis Traffico, and Orcalero Orcala, plus five secret creatures waiting to be discovered.
According to developer Squido Studio, Early Access is “an important step” in the development of Brainrot Animals. This phase gives the team the chance to refine systems, add new worlds, and continue expanding the creature roster with input from the community.
Brainrot Animals Launch
Brainrot Animals is now available as an Early Access title on Meta Quest headsets. To celebrate the launch, a new Astrorot Bundle is also available for players to purchase. The game is a free-to-play title, similar to Squido Studio’s Grand Theft Animals. That title was essentially an empty playground, and while there was some buzz at launch has seemingly fallen flat since. Can Brainrot Animals fare better?
