Mimic Party on PS5 and Xbox
Short answer: there is no console version. Here is what works instead, for free, in five minutes.
Is there a PS5 or Xbox version?
No. The Steam game called Mimic Party is a Windows title. There is no PlayStation 5 release, no Xbox release and no Nintendo Switch release, and the studio has not announced one. If a site claims to sell you a console key for it, it is not selling you the game.
The reason is mostly technical. The whole game rests on every player recording their voice at the same time, each on their own microphone. A console has one controller mic at best, shared by the whole room, which is the opposite of what the format needs.
What actually works in a living room
Give everyone their own screen. MimicBox runs in a browser, so each player uses the phone already in their pocket while you all sit around the same television. One person creates a room, shares the five letter code, and everyone is in.
That setup is closer to what a console party game tries to do than a console can manage. Six people, six microphones, no controller to pass around, no split screen, nothing to install.
- Works on iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows, Mac and Chromebook.
- No account, no download, no purchase.
- Two to six players in a private room.
- Also playable on one phone passed around the table.
Can I open it in the console browser?
We would rather be honest: do not count on it. The Xbox browser can open the page, but microphone access on a console browser is unreliable, and the PS5 browser is hidden and limited. The game needs a working microphone, so a console browser is the one place we cannot promise it will run.
Use phones. It takes ten seconds per player and it always works.
What the game is, in one paragraph
Everyone hears the same short sound, a meme, a cartoon effect, a movie line. A countdown starts and everyone records their imitation at the same time, one take only. Each take is played back to the room and scored out of 100 on rhythm, melody and duration, then everyone votes for the funniest one. The best total after the last round wins. Read the full rules or try the solo mode first.
FAQ
Is Mimic Party coming to PS5?
Nothing has been announced. The Steam game is Windows only, and the one microphone per player requirement makes a console port unlikely.
Is there an Xbox version?
No. Same answer as PlayStation: the game exists on Steam for Windows, and nowhere else officially.
What about Nintendo Switch?
No Switch version either. The Switch has no general purpose browser, so the web version is not an option there.
Is MimicBox free?
Yes, completely. No account, no download, no purchase. See [Mimic Party free online](/en/mimic-party-free-online/).
