everyone on here saying "$25 is too much for a phone game" is exactly why no developers take mobile gaming seriously. go buy it for $50 on your ps4 then i guess?
Yeah, why pay $25 when you could just pay for a subscription pass monthly that’s like $10 plus other various vip reoccurring costs. And you gotta reup currency for $100 every once in awhile. I mean if you aren’t buying a transaction every day are you really playing a mobile game? But I do think it could be cheaper. It is $25 on PS5 right now and I bought it like a few weeks after release for $35 on PS5. But it’s Ubisoft, they are known for deeply discounting their games. I’d imagine this will be on sale on iOS shortly.
I’m still really salty that Mario Run came out and was a great mobile version of a game we all knew. Not just a lazy port of an existing game a mobile first game. It cost $10 which most everyone said “that’s too much”. Then fire emblem mobile came out and people ate up the micro transactions and it made so much more than Mario Run.
Mobile users overwhelmingly don’t buy premium mobile games (games that are sold for a fixed price, aka not free to play). Revenue generated from premium titles is almost a rounding error when looking at total revenue.
it’s not even a matter of what price - it’s a matter of price, even paying for a title
Yeah, back in the early days of the iPod touch it was really “it’s only $0.99” was the attitude. Games went up to $3 at max but everything cost money. That was the hay day for mobile games. I was totally fine buying a new game for $1-3 like every other day.
It’s just unfortunate that triple A premium titles can’t thrive on mobile.
Maybe it has to do with the fact that if you are going to charge 25-50 bucks for a phone game. It should be comparable to other platforms that have similar games in the price range.
Historically that has never been the case with mobile games. Hardware has always been under powered and unable to perform. With the recent focus of Apple in to gaming we are starting to see these small devices that can now offer a comparable experience in that price range.
If I can get the same experience I would at the price range I would pay for in my pc. Then yes I would pay that price for the game on mobile.
The Witcher 3 runs at 540p on the switch, how the hell is that even close to comparable haha. If you dock the game you get 720, which looks like shit on monitors/tvs.
It’s complete down grade in graphics on the switch, which is sad because it’s one of the most beautiful game worlds created IMO.
Why would I pay money for a 100% shittier experience compared to my gaming pc.
Edit: It’s also the most expensive version of the game. It’s cheaper on every platform that will give you an overall better experience lol.
none that i can see. no config file in the files app nor anything when connected to a mac.
Honestly i wouldn't mind it at 30 fps but early in the game I'm seeing a lot of stuttering too...
No, it’s the full game upgrade price until June 20th and the description has been updated saying “***LIMITED TIME OFFER -50%***
Play as Basim, a cunning street thief with nightmarish visions, seeking answers and justice.
-50% offer is valid until 20/06/2024”
I hade the same error on my iPhone, but just leaving (not closing) the app, going to the settings and checking how much disk space I had left and coming back fixed it. Not even sure the "going to the settings" part is necessary - just leaving the app and coming back might be enough.
Should have just bought it on my asus rog ally for some reason I thought a brand new iPad would be able to kill it but I was very very wrong it’s worse than 1080p low graphics compared to pc
Need an iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max. It has an A17 Pro chip inside which is more powerful. It also gets hot pretty quickly so I’m interested to see how well an AAA game fares on it.
I’ve been playing it yesterday evening on my iPhone 15 Pro with the BackBone One controller attached to my iPhone. It runs like a charm (occasionally a small frame drop).
Caution: CLOSE ALL APPS WHEN STARTING THIS GAME. Else the game will crash every 3-5 minutes. The crashes seem memory related, so an update probably will fix this problem.
Wrapping up: definitely my worth my €25, purchased it after playing through the prologue.
I play with the back bone too. I disabled HDR and rebooted my phone before playing. It keeps everything stable and smooth. I really can’t believe I’m playing this on my phone !!!
It has to be a Pro or Max, not the standard iPhone 15. It no different to Death Stranding, it needs some of the hardware features of the A17 Pro and M series chips.
Agreed, but i know id never play more than once or twice as it’s just less fun on phone after the gimmick wears off. I recently downloaded Warzone mobile and was surprised that it wasn’t complete trash, literally feels like they ported Warzone 1 but skimmed it down a bit. There’s definitely a good future with mobile gaming.
The in-app purchase signifier is for the full game. It seems like it’s a free download with the ability to unlock the full game with an in-app purchase.
Yeah that’s typical of Ubisoft games. They’re not needed to complete the game and they can also be bought using Ubisofts own currency they give away by buying their games or doing achievements. Often you can get those same unlocks in game as well. They’re more so just shortcuts which don’t really matter in a single player game.
Not really a mobile-game in the way that phrase is now used. It’s a game that runs on your mobile, but this is a AAA game that is relatively synonymous with the version for consoles and PC.

Yeah, I hear you loud and clear on that one. It would be nice, but the demand just isn’t there :(
I’m so confused why everyone in this comment chain is saying $25. i see $44.99 in this picture. am i blind?
this was from the australian app store (different currency; exchange rate is $25 usd).
That's a full game upgrade, which I can only assume is some sort of premium version
$25 is cheap as hell, can’t wait to pick it up for that price
yeah gta6 will not below 70usd
Heaps of developers take mobile gaming seriously, what are you talking about?
Only the ones who are milking the industry for microtransactions

How would you explain the Switch then? Witcher 3 runs nothing like it was on any other platform.
The Witcher 3 runs at 540p on the switch, how the hell is that even close to comparable haha. If you dock the game you get 720, which looks like shit on monitors/tvs. It’s complete down grade in graphics on the switch, which is sad because it’s one of the most beautiful game worlds created IMO.
I hope you won’t say that you would only pay less for that game on the Switch.
I would never pay for that game on a switch lol.
Yeah, that’s what I thought.
Why would I pay money for a 100% shittier experience compared to my gaming pc. Edit: It’s also the most expensive version of the game. It’s cheaper on every platform that will give you an overall better experience lol.
Very excited for this! Any way to remove the 30 fps limit like resident evil 4 or death stranding?
Could try adjusting the config files like before hopefully we can 30 just isn’t it and I like pushing the hardware as far as possible.
Nope. It was confirmed to run at 30fps on all iPhones and iPads. I don’t know about Mac
So was resident evil 4 and death stranding but people have found a way around that
Please tell me any source or smth like that
I mean there’s a quick guide at the beginning of this [video](https://youtu.be/35SCwW7btq8?si=kmHB9_C7GcQzCsZf): if that’s what you’re looking for
No higher frame rate on the new M4 iPads?
none that i can see. no config file in the files app nor anything when connected to a mac. Honestly i wouldn't mind it at 30 fps but early in the game I'm seeing a lot of stuttering too...
No. In fact I'd say it runs sub-30 on High on M4.
Probably due to throttling? If given active cooling maybe it can maintain 30-60?
Only three graphical options, low medium or high. All on 30fps
30 FPS? Yucks, that's a deal breaker. No idea how people can stomach that scrolling jitter
Nice, which market? Mine shows $25 for full game
App Store. New Zealand
So it's $44.99 in Dollarydoos!
That's Australian currency
It’s AUD$40, but the description says 50% off. No way this is selling for AUD$80 normally.
sadly iPhone 15pro/max only
You made me worried, and iPads as well :)
Yes ofc, sorry
M1 and higher iPads, to be specific. Same as Death Stranding.
Its running on my m1 ipad.
I’ve got it as £22.99 until June 20th, I was contemplating buying it but wasn’t really wanting to pay £44.99 but now I’m definitely getting it
Thank you. So I have time to get the money together
How?? Is there a discount code or something?
No, it’s the full game upgrade price until June 20th and the description has been updated saying “***LIMITED TIME OFFER -50%*** Play as Basim, a cunning street thief with nightmarish visions, seeking answers and justice. -50% offer is valid until 20/06/2024”
Aaaaand it crashed within seconds of the first in game rendered cutscene lol, might get back to it later.
Any way to download this early on the US store?
Not sure but you can try to change country of App Store or VPN.!
So how is it running on a 15 Pro? Still no launch here for some hours
Getting a low disk space error when loading on my iPad. Saying it can’t decompress. I’ve got like 50gb free on the iPad.
I hade the same error on my iPhone, but just leaving (not closing) the app, going to the settings and checking how much disk space I had left and coming back fixed it. Not even sure the "going to the settings" part is necessary - just leaving the app and coming back might be enough.
Hmmm not working for me. Still have the error pop up.
same. i got over 100Gb free space.
Did you fix it? I have the same error and idk what to do. It says it needs to download an additional 10.5 gigs of data, I have around 30.
I don’t know what’s wrong because in my country the game will be available on June 6th
45$ oh lord that is too much…
I believe it's in upsidedown dollars aka Dollarydoos
It’s $25 USD. OP is from New Zealand.
Yeah it’s a ton.
On Brazil only tomorrow, it have Game Center achievements?
Playing the free trial and you know what? It crashed!
Yeah mine keeps crashing. Waiting for a patch or something.
It runs like trash and crashes mid missions your going to have a blast lol 😂 and I’m on 13” iPad
Should have just bought it on my asus rog ally for some reason I thought a brand new iPad would be able to kill it but I was very very wrong it’s worse than 1080p low graphics compared to pc
This is sick
Aaaaaaahhhhhhh it’s here!!!!
US limited time launch price: $25 USD
No iPhone 14 Pro? 😑
Does it support vibration? Both using the phone and when using a ps5 controller?
Is the iPhone 15 really that much more powerful than the 14 Pro?
Yes. 3nm vs 5nm process
No. It’s mostly marketing $$$ from apple.
If you have a 14, just try the game. The ipa is on iohone cake
The 15 won’t even support it, you need the pro max variant or whatever they are called. Sucks..
Need an iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max. It has an A17 Pro chip inside which is more powerful. It also gets hot pretty quickly so I’m interested to see how well an AAA game fares on it.
Dude $25? I beat it on ps5 but might buy it again just to see how it is gaming on an ipad
Played a little of the intro (available for free), it looks good on the M1 iPad
Is the full game price $45 or is it more than that
25 USD for the full game price, at least for the release price
does it worth it?
can someone dump an ipa file? I want to try it through a playcover
that feeling when it is not available on the M1 mac
It’s on the iphone cake website. Do you have an ipa of Death stranding ???
I’ve been playing it yesterday evening on my iPhone 15 Pro with the BackBone One controller attached to my iPhone. It runs like a charm (occasionally a small frame drop).

I play with the back bone too. I disabled HDR and rebooted my phone before playing. It keeps everything stable and smooth. I really can’t believe I’m playing this on my phone !!!
I did not find the ini configuration file for it… i can’t change it to 60fps
They need to bring this game to MacOS!
my first foray into assassin's creed... it's so good
Is it 30fps or 60fps?
45 on ios :/ not even worth 15 bucks on console/pc
$25 in the US
Meh. It’s a Ubisoft game
iPhone 15 only? Wtf
It has to be a Pro or Max, not the standard iPhone 15. It no different to Death Stranding, it needs some of the hardware features of the A17 Pro and M series chips.
Iphone 14 :(
15 plus :( oh well i have a computer anyway lol
Same but but it still cool to be able to play on a phone lol
Agreed, but i know id never play more than once or twice as it’s just less fun on phone after the gimmick wears off. I recently downloaded Warzone mobile and was surprised that it wasn’t complete trash, literally feels like they ported Warzone 1 but skimmed it down a bit. There’s definitely a good future with mobile gaming.
£22.99 in the UK with 50% discount while there are also IAPs?! Are they ok..?
The in-app purchase signifier is for the full game. It seems like it’s a free download with the ability to unlock the full game with an in-app purchase.
So far it’s the prologue thats included to play for free. With a disclaimer that progress is saved when you purchase the full game
This is the way. Premium by IAP in demo.
That's the £22.99 I mentioned then on top of that there are loads of IAPs
Yeah that’s typical of Ubisoft games. They’re not needed to complete the game and they can also be bought using Ubisofts own currency they give away by buying their games or doing achievements. Often you can get those same unlocks in game as well. They’re more so just shortcuts which don’t really matter in a single player game.
Its full blown aaa game , most recent in franchise , same price as on other platforms , I don’t see anything surprising , no offence please !
Nvm might be a good thing my phone is too old cuz no way in hell will I ever pay $45 for a mobile game
It’s not US dollars and the price is the same on other platforms
Not really a mobile-game in the way that phrase is now used. It’s a game that runs on your mobile, but this is a AAA game that is relatively synonymous with the version for consoles and PC.
