Spotify has introduced its version of the classic “Snake” game as “Eat this Playlist.” The arcade game follows the same concept but your snake-esque character eats playlists and consumes the tracks to grow. Read on to learn what the “Eat This Playlist” game is on Spotify and how to play it on any device.
If you haven’t gotten the Eat This Playlist game on Spotify yet, we’ll help you get access to the game on your iPhone or Android device. This guide will clear all your doubts and problems about Spotify’s latest in-app experience that’s taking users down the lane of nostalgia.
What Is ”Eat This Playlist” On Spotify?
Spotify Eat This Playlist is a new game on the Spotify app inspired by the traditional “Snake” game you may have played on your Nokia feature phone or any other older device. In this game, players must consume as many playlists as possible while controlling their character.
Just like playing Snake, you need to control the character which is built with the cover art of the tracks you consume and ensure that it doesn’t hit the borders or itself while moving. As you consume each playlist, your character (Snake of tracks) will grow bigger, and it’ll grow smaller if you hit the border or your body.
You will get three chances before the game gets over. Once it’s over, you can restart and start consuming different playlists and tracks to explore them. Spotify users love the classic arcade within the app and talk about it on social media.
Eat This Playlist Lets You Explore New Tracks & Playlists:
When you play Eat This Playlist on Spotify and consume a playlist, its tracks are denoted with small squares displaying the album art. Spotify also plays the track that’s present on the screen. Once your snake eats a track, the next one in the playlist appears as food and starts playing.
It offers a cool way to relive the nostalgia while exploring amazing songs. There are also other effects available within the game. Spotify changes the background colour on the screen to match the album art, and your growing snake will feature many songs from the playlist.
You can add the currently playing track to your library by tapping the “+” button in the top left corner. However, ensure you’re quick, or your game may end. If it gets over, tap the “Try again” button to start over, but Spotify won’t begin from the first track in the playlist but from where you left off.
How To Play “Eat This Playlist” On Spotify?
You need access to the game to play “Eat This Playlist” on Spotify. Currently, it’s not available for everyone. If it’s available on your device, follow these steps to play it:
Step-1: Launch Spotify and visit “Your Library” from the bottom navigation bar.
Step-2: Now select a playlist with at least 20 songs or more. You can choose any playlist you’ve created or the ones that Spotify provides. For instance, you can select the Daily Mix or Weekly Mix.
Step-3: On the playlist, tap the three dots and choose “Eat This Playlist” from the available options.
Step-4: Spotify will then launch the game. Remember that the game won’t begin if the playlist doesn’t have enough tracks. Don’t try it with smaller playlists.
Step-5: Control your musical snake and start devouring the tracks from the playlist. Once the game is over, you can tap “Try again” or quit it to play it later.
That’s how you play Eat This Playlist on Spotify.
Can You Play Eat This Playlist On Spotify PC App?
No, Spotify’s new Snak game-inspired Eat This Playlist is not currently available on the desktop app. It’s only limited to the mobile app. Thus, PC players can’t play the game right now. However, there’s a workaround for you. You can install an Android emulator and run Spotify to access the game on a PC.
Spotify may also bring the fun game to the desktop app, with its rapidly increasing popularity. Social media is full of music listeners showing off their Eat This Playlist scores. However, nothing is confirmed at this time. If there is an update from their end, we will update this section.
Eat This Playlist Not Available: How To Get It?
Many Spotify users complain that the “Eat This Playlist” game is unavailable within their app. There are reports about it on social media and web forums related to Spotify. We went through the official Spotify forum to find a cause for this issue, where users reported the error.
Spotify has confirmed via a Moderator that the Eat This Playlist functionality is currently in the testing phase and only available to “iOS” users. That’s why the game is available for iPhone users while Android users are currently left out. However, it’s not available for all iPhone/ iPad users either.
If you want to get Eat This Playlist on your Spotify app, make sure that you keep the app updated to the latest version. You can turn on auto-updates for Spotify so that when the makers roll out new features, you’ll be the first to get access. Android users can also join the beta program via the Google Play Store.
When Will Eat This Playlist Be Available For All Spotify Users?
Spotify will soon expand the “Eat This Playlist” feature to more users, including Android ones. The Snake-inspired game is currently in the testing phase and is only available to a limited number of iOS users. If you’re using Spotify on your iPhone, you can immediately try the game.
However, if you are an Android user, you must wait until Spotify makes the game available for all users. There is no specified timeline for when that will happen. You can expect the Eat This Playlist game to become available for everyone by the end of this month or the next one.
It’s likely that Spotify will fasten the procedure due to the game’s increasing popularity. At least that’s what happened with past features that were received well among users.
