Pocket God was updated often with new 'episodes', a themed update that adds new features to the Pocket God world, such as new islands, items, or minigames. Other packs, such as the Halloween, holiday, and alien themes, have since been added. In the Good Will Haunting update, a downloadable content (DLC) store was added with changeable skins for the T-Rex. Also, Buddy Challenges were implemented with OpenFeint. In the Idle Hands 2: Caught With Your Pants Down update more idle features were added to the Pygmies when they are not in use. The Ooga Jump update added the first crossover minigame, Ooga Jump, which was followed by a Harbor Master crossover. The Fun n' Games until A Pygmy Gets Hurt update added mini-games for consecutive coconut bounces, consecutive shark snaps, underwater skewer, pygmy bowling, and hurricane zaps. The episodes A New Home, Dead Pygmy Walking, and The Pyg Chill added additional islands to the game, which can be toggled from the menu bar. One of the game's most notable features is the regular release of updates introducing additional content. The 'March of the Fire Ants' update also added a new feature known as OpenFeint, where players can access chat rooms, leaderboards, achievements, and announcements during gameplay.

Most of these features can be toggled on the game's menu bar. Built-in features of iOS, the iPad, and iPod Touch are used, such as the accelerometer to simulate gravity and earthquakes. These range from benevolent powers, such as giving the islanders a fishing rod, to destructive, such as summoning a hurricane, or simply entertaining, such as levitating the Pygmies. The primitive islanders, known as Pygmies, are subject to the player's god powers. The player takes the role of an omnipotent being who rules over an island and controls everything.

The Facebook version was released December 23, 2010. It was released for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch on January 9, 2009, and released for Verizon Wireless on September 1, 2010, Android on December 1, 2010, and Windows Phone on December 4, 2010.
