Kingdom Rush 6: Genesis launched on 24 September 2026, and its pricing is now a matter of store record rather than media reports. The short version: $6.99 on both mobile stores, $19.99 on Steam, with a 10% launch discount bringing the PC version to $17.99 at the time of writing. Every figure on this page was read from the live store listings on 26 September 2026, in the US region.

The Confirmed Prices
| Store | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Steam (PC) | $19.99 | 10% launch discount at the time of writing: $17.99 |
| App Store (iOS) | $6.99 | Released 24 September 2026, 07:00 UTC |
| Google Play (Android) | $6.99 | Same launch day |
Prices above are US-region readings. Regional stores carry regional currencies, so your local price may differ. The end date of the Steam launch discount has not been announced; if you are reading this later, check whether the 10% is still applied at check-out.
The $6.99 Story, Resolved
Before launch, almost every media report put the game at $6.99. Ironhide never confirmed a number, the Steam page carried no price field at all, and our earlier version of this page treated $6.99 as an unconfirmed figure. That caution is now resolved in both directions at once:
- $6.99 was right, for mobile. Both the App Store and Google Play listings opened at exactly that figure.
- $6.99 was never the PC price. Steam opened at $19.99, nearly three times the mobile figure. Coverage that applied the mobile number to the PC release was wrong.
The gap between the two is large, but it is not unusual for this series: the mobile and PC versions of Kingdom Rush games have always been sold as separate purchases, and the Steam builds have historically carried higher price tags than the phone builds. There is no cross-buy between Steam and mobile: buying one does not grant the other. If you are choosing between them, the platforms page compares what each version supports, and the emulator guide explains what running the Android build on a desktop does and does not get you.
What Premium Content Costs
The base purchase is not the whole cost picture, and the two platforms handle it differently.
- On mobile, premium content is sold as in-app purchases: the five premium towers and the eight heroes beyond the free first four can be bought individually.
- On Steam, there are no purchases beyond the game itself: the same premium towers and heroes unlock by playing, through star gates earned across the campaign, which run from 7 stars for the first locked tower up to 80 stars for the last hero.
That split is the community wiki's record of the release build rather than an Ironhide publishing, so treat the shape as reliable and the exact in-game prices as something to check in your own store. The unlock details for each unit are on the towers and heroes pages.
Franchise Price Context
Here is how the earlier games are currently listed on Steam, with Genesis now added at the top. These are live store prices rather than launch prices, and sales change them regularly.
| Game | Steam price (list) |
|---|---|
| Kingdom Rush 6: Genesis | $19.99 |
| Kingdom Rush | $6.49 |
| Kingdom Rush: Frontiers | $6.49 |
| Kingdom Rush: Origins | $9.75 |
| Kingdom Rush: Vengeance | $12.99 |
| Legends of Kingdom Rush | $14.99 |
Genesis opens above every previous entry in the series. Whether that price holds through the first sales is a separate question from whether the game is worth it; for what the game actually contains, start with the gameplay overview.
How To Buy
There is exactly one legitimate channel per platform, and no others have ever existed for this game:
- On PC: the Steam store page, at $19.99 list. There was never a pre-order window and there is no other PC storefront.
- On iOS: the App Store listing, at $6.99.
- On Android: the Google Play listing, at $6.99.
There is no physical edition, no collector's edition and no bundle of any kind: the game has only ever been sold as a digital release on those three stores. Anyone selling "keys" outside them is not an official channel.
