Binding of Isaac Platforms — PS5, 3DS, Vita, Switch and Every Version Compared
The Binding of Isaac platforms: PC, Switch, PS4/5, Xbox — and the version history (Rebirth, Afterbirth, Repentance). Which version to buy and whether the old Flash version still matters.
Binding of Isaac Platforms — Every Version and Where to Play
The Binding of Isaac is on PC, Switch, PS4/5, and Xbox — with an important catch: the game has multiple versions (the 2011 Flash original, and the Rebirth remake with its expansions). If you're searching "isaac platforms," you want the platform list and the version guide — because buying the wrong version is the classic mistake. Here's everything.
The Version History (Read Before Buying)
| Version | What it is | Status |
|---|---|---|
| The original (Flash, 2011) | The first Isaac — Flash-based, 9 chapters, no expansions | Legacy (still sold standalone on Steam) |
| Rebirth (2014) | The full remake — new art, new engine, expansions | The definitive version |
| Afterbirth (2015) | Rebirth expansion 1 | Part of the complete edition |
| Afterbirth+ (2017) | Rebirth expansion 2 (mods!) | Part of the complete edition |
| Repentance (2021) | The final expansion — 500+ items, new chapters | The complete Isaac |
The buy rule: get Rebirth + all expansions (the "Complete Bundle" — Rebirth + Afterbirth + Afterbirth+ + Repentance). The Flash original is a historical curiosity, not the game people mean today.
The Platform List
| Platform | Version available | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PC (Steam) | All versions (Flash + Rebirth + expansions) | The lead platform — mods (Afterbirth+ and Repentance have Steam Workshop support) |
| Nintendo Switch | Rebirth + Repentance (complete) | The popular portable pick — Isaac's run-based loop fits handheld play |
| PlayStation 4/5 | Rebirth + expansions | Full version |
| Xbox One/Series | Rebirth + expansions | Full version |
| Mobile (iOS/Android) | Rebirth (older version) | Not the full game — mobile Isaac is an old Rebirth build without expansions; avoid for the real experience |
Mobile "Binding of Isaac" is an outdated Rebirth build (no Afterbirth/Repentance, no new content, and it's been delisted on some stores). The real game is PC/Switch/console — don't judge Isaac by the mobile version.
Crossplay & Co-op
- No crossplay — each platform has its own version/community
- Co-op: local co-op exists (2-player, the "couch co-op" mode with the second player as a ghost/baby) — same-screen only, no online co-op in the base game
- Mods: PC-only (Steam Workshop for Afterbirth+/Repentance)
Which Platform Should You Play On?
| Situation | Pick |
|---|---|
| Mods + newest content first | PC (Steam) |
| Portable runs | Switch — the classic "Isaac on the go" pick |
| Couch co-op | Any console (local co-op) |
| Cheapest entry | Watch sales — the complete bundle hits 50-75% off regularly on Steam |
The consensus: PC for the full experience (mods, all content), Switch for portability. Both run the complete Repentance version.
