Fast answer
The answer before the background
Cup Heroes version numbers must be tied to a platform. The checked Apple mobile build is 4.1.1, following the 4.0.1 deckbuilding revision and a major 3.0-era progression redesign. Xbox and Nintendo Switch products launched through QubicGames in December 2025, while the checked PlayStation product lists PS4 and PS5 editions and a June 19, 2026 PS5 release. An old version or YouTube video may show different currencies, cards, modes or menus and should not be used as a current guide without its date and device.
Mobile milestones
Track systems, not just numbers
| Version period | Verified milestone | Guide impact |
|---|---|---|
| 2.8–2.9 (late 2025) | Infinite Waves and S-Gear enchantment work | Older gear and mode advice belongs to that progression model. |
| 3.0.1–3.0.7 | New progression, art, currencies, migration and Infinite Waves balance | Pre-3.0 screenshots may not match current accounts. |
| 3.1–3.3 | News, Ranked, biographies, guild hall, guild market, quests and achievements | Social and competitive guides need feature dates. |
| 4.0.1–4.0.3 | Deckbuilding with 450+ cards and follow-up fixes | Build guides must use the card-era client. |
| 4.1.0–4.1.1 | Ball Phase skip, Ranked rollout and balance/fix work | Current mobile baseline at review time. |
Console line
Keep QubicGames releases separate from mobile numbering
Official Xbox and Nintendo pages place their console launches in December 2025. The PlayStation concept page currently includes PS4 and PS5 editions and identifies June 19, 2026 for the PS5 product. These are storefront release records, not proof that the consoles run Apple's numbered 4.1.1 build.
Console editions also expose platform-specific achievements, cloud behavior, controls, packs and currencies. A trophy, reroll or hero answer from PS5 should be checked on PS5 before it is merged into an Android guide. Publisher credit and shared game art do not guarantee identical save schemas or balance.
Old builds
Do not install an archive to recreate a video
- Record the video's upload date, visible platform, app version and menu layout before using it as evidence.
- Compare the shown system with the milestone table; pre-deckbuilding builds cannot answer current card questions.
- Treat APK and IPA archives as unsupported distributions even when the number looks authentic.
- Use the current store's update history and client number as the authoritative build for that device.
- When a legacy mechanic matters, describe it historically instead of presenting an unavailable method as current.
How to report
Use a version stamp readers can reproduce
A useful guide header states platform, displayed version, store review date and the exact system tested. It also notes staged access, because version 4.1.1 describes Ranked rolling out gradually to new players. This is stronger evidence than saying updated today without a build number.
Patch notes summarize intended changes, but the client verifies whether a feature reached the account. When the two disagree, preserve both facts: report what the official note says and what was observed on the named platform, without inventing a universal rollout date.
FAQ
Common questions

The checked Apple mobile listing shows 4.1.1. Other stores and consoles may use different current numbers.
When did deckbuilding arrive?
Apple version 4.0.1 introduced the deckbuilding system and advertised more than 450 unique cards.
When did Cup Heroes release on consoles?
Official Xbox and Nintendo records show December 2025 releases; the checked PlayStation page lists a June 19, 2026 PS5 release and PS4/PS5 editions.
Can I install an old version from an APK archive?
That is not the supported update path and can create security, save and entitlement problems. Use the current official store build.
