Where can you play Clash of Clans, and when did each version launch?
Supercell launched Clash of Clans globally in August 2012 after a Canada tablet beta under the Magic codename, and the same village is still sold on Apple, Google Play, and Windows. The US App Store lists iPhone and iPad. Google Play lists Android phones and tablets plus Windows through Google Play Games. A Google Play Games soft launch opened in Canada, Chile, and Singapore on 10 October 2023, then worldwide PC play followed on 23 October 2023 using the Android client with a mouse. Google Play Games is Windows-only. Official pages opened for this research do not state a first Android calendar day, so that date is omitted rather than copied from third-party databases.
How do Clans, wars, and cross-play work?
A Clan can hold up to 50 players across Member, Elder, Co-leader, and Leader ranks, and it is the hub for chat, donations, Clan Games, Clan Wars, and Clan War Leagues. Leaders and Co-leaders start a Clan War once the Clan has at least 5 members; each selected fighter may attack two enemy War Bases and cannot hit the same base twice. Clan War Leagues run as a monthly week of wars at 15 vs 15 or 30 vs 30, with Champion league locked to 15 vs 15 and a sign-up floor of 15 selected players. US store copy also describes Ranked Mode, Legend League, Friendly Challenges, Friendly Wars, spectator views, and Builder Base Versus Battles, plus a Goblin King campaign and Practice Mode for solo attacks. Supercell's PC announcement says you can fight players on every supported platform, and that Supercell ID loads the same village on phone and Windows. Opening the game on one device logs that account out of the others. Clan chat is filtered, reportable, and stricter on Family Friendly teams.
What does Clash of Clans cost, and what is the Gold Pass?
The US App Store and Google Play list Clash of Clans as free to download, with optional real-money items, including random items. On 29 October 2026 Apple's US in-app list showed Pocketful of Gems and a Resource Pack at 0.99 USD, a Pile of Gems at 4.99 USD, a Bag of Gems at 9.99 USD, a Sack of Gems at 19.99 USD, rotating Special Offers at 2.99, 4.99, and 9.99 USD, and Gold Pass at both 4.99 and 6.99 USD. Supercell's Parent's Guide puts the US store in-app range at 0.99 to 99.99 USD before tax. The Gold Pass is a seasonal reward track that has existed since 2018. A 16 February 2026 Clash blog said a rebuilt pass would go live on 1 March 2026, with daily tasks, Choice Nodes, a 5x Hoggy Bank payout, and a Prospector helper from Town Hall 10. Support articles still describe Gold Pass access from Town Hall 7. Passes bought on the Supercell Store sit in a Supercell ID inventory of up to 8 and can be activated in a later season. Purchases are optional.
What age ratings and parent tools apply?
PEGI rates Clash of Clans 7 for mild violence against small human characters and fantastical creatures, and notes online chat and in-app purchases. US Google Play and the Google Play PC store show IARC Everyone 10+ with Fantasy Violence, Users Interact, and In-Game Purchases. Apple's US listing uses a 13+ label with frequent Guns or Other Weapons, infrequent Cartoon or Fantasy Violence, messaging and chat, and in-app age-assurance controls. An ESRB title search returned no Clash of Clans record, and a USK title search returned no entries, so a Wikidata lead of USK 6 is not used here. Supercell's terms require a legal guardian's agreement for anyone under the age of majority. The Parent's Guide covers device purchase locks, screen-time tools, clan-chat filters, and in-game reporting.
How do you play on a Windows PC?
From 23 October 2023 the same Clash of Clans village runs on Windows through Google Play Games, with mouse controls and the Android client. Gameplay matches the phone. Progress syncs through Supercell ID, and the same account cannot stay logged in on PC and mobile together. Google Play Games is Windows-only; there is no Mac or Linux client in the announcement. Minimum Google Play Games hardware figures are recorded in the PC needs table on this page.
How is a village saved if the device changes?
Supercell ID is the official way to keep a Home Village when a phone, tablet, or PC changes. The PC FAQ says logging in with that ID loads the same progress on mobile and Windows. The ID site says a village can move across mobile devices and tablets, and that several accounts of the same game can sit on one device. Terms of Service say that once ID is attached, it cannot be disconnected from that game account. Support for older hardware tells Amazon Appstore players, and players on operating systems below the current App Store and Google Play floors, to bind ID and reinstall from a supported store. Accounts unused for 180 days may be terminated under the terms.

FAQ
Do you have to spend money to play Clash of Clans?
No. US stores and Supercell's Parent's Guide describe the download as free, with optional in-app purchases that can be disabled in device settings.
Can one village stay open on a phone and a PC at the same time?
No. Supercell's PC FAQ says launching Clash of Clans on one device immediately logs that account out of any other device.
How many languages does the US App Store list?
21: English, Arabic, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Malay, Norwegian Bokmål, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Thai, Traditional Chinese, Turkish, and Vietnamese.
What happens if a Clash of Clans account sits unused?
Supercell's Terms of Service, effective 6 November 2024, reserve the right to terminate any account that has been inactive for 180 days.
Is there a Mac or Linux version?
No. The 23 October 2023 PC post states that Google Play Games is only for Windows.
Our take
Clash of Clans suits players who want a long-running Home Village to upgrade and a Clan to war with, on a phone, tablet, or Windows PC. The village is the same on every supported store, so the practical choice is the device already in your pocket, plus a Windows PC if you want a larger screen and a mouse. Bind Supercell ID before switching hardware, because Amazon Appstore support has ended and older operating systems drop off the live client. Play is always online. Optional Gold Pass and gem packs sit in the shop; the US App Store listed Gold Pass at both 4.99 and 6.99 USD on 29 October 2026. Clan chat and in-app purchases are part of the listing, so set device purchase locks if a child will play.
Best for: Players who want a persistent village and Clan Wars on a phone or tablet; Windows PC players who already have a mobile village on Supercell ID; Groups that want 15 vs 15 or 30 vs 30 Clan War Leagues.
Not for: Anyone who needs offline play; Mac or Linux PC players looking for a native client; Amazon Appstore-only devices; Players who want a one-time boxed campaign with no live shop or clan chat.
Which version: Use the same village on iOS, iPadOS, Android, or Windows Google Play Games via Supercell ID. Pick the device you already use; PC is Windows-only and logs the phone out if that account opens there.
