PUBG Mobile Flash (Tencent/Level Infinite)
This new edition of PUBG Mobile is out now worldwide on iOS and Android and offers the series’ familiar battle royale gameplay, but in a less memory and power-hungry app. Tencent-owned publisher Level Infinite said it had 27m pre-registrations ahead of launch.
Transformers: Eternal War (Wanda Cinemas Games/Hasbro)
Transformers: Eternal War launched on iOS and Android on November 12, and at the time of writing is number one on the UK iPhone charts. Developed by Wanda Cinemas Games with Hasbro, it’s an idle adventure RPG where players build squads of Autobots and Decepticons.
Apple Arcade’s end-of-year line-up
Sega’s football management sim Football Manager 27 Touch launched on Apple Arcade on November 10, with an upgraded match engine, new scouting and match preparation tools, and an interface redesigned for iPhone. 2K’s NBA 2K27 Arcade Edition is also out now on the service, and adds all 15 WNBA teams this year.
On December 3, the subscription service will add EA/Popcap’s Plants vs. Zombies: Replanted, Ubisoft’s Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown+ (with all its DLC), Playstack’s roguelike card game Solitaire(ish) and StoryToys’ Lego Duplo Playtime.
UnGodly (Azra Games)
Players recruit a squad of heroes called Primals and fight in real-time combat. The free-to-play game is coming to PC and consoles in 2027.
My Hero Ultra Rumble Mobile (Bandai Namco)
Bandai Namco has opened pre-registration on iOS and Android for My Hero Ultra Rumble Mobile, a mobile version of its free-to-play My Hero Academia battle royale. It doesn’t have a release date yet.
It’s a separate game from the console and PC versions, with no cross-play between them, though iOS and Android players can play together.
Roll & Merge: Farm Go (Outfit7)
Judging by its store screenshots, it combines dice rolling with merging and building.
The Roottrees Are Dead (Evil Trout/IndieArk)
Set in 1998, it has players piecing together the family tree of the Roottree sisters after a private jet crash, using archives, newspapers and photographs. It launched on PC in 2025, where it has a Metacritic score of 86.
Replaced (Thunderful Games)
Cyberpunk adventure Replaced is coming to Google Play on December 8, with pre-registration open now. Players control R.E.A.C.H., an AI trapped in a human body, in an alternate 1980s America rendered in 2.5D pixel art.
Ludo Go (Easybrain)
Fishing Trip (Ten Square Games)
It’s a more relaxed take than Fishing Clash and Let’s Fish, and introduces a new monetisation model for the company, with rewarded ads expected to play a bigger part than in its other games.
RaivoBull (2Agree Studios)
Matches last two minutes, with players carrying sheep back to their team’s base. Outside of battles, players build their own villages and can visit friends’ villages.
Blotkins (Conto IT)
German developer Conto IT released Blotkins on November 9, a premium creature-collecting game built around the iPhone Duo’s fold.
Players drop ink on one half of the screen, then close the phone so the hinge presses it onto the other half. The resulting blot becomes a small creature with a name and a field-guide entry. On other iPhones and iPad, the fold happens on screen. It costs £7.99, with no ads or in-app purchases.
Football Kick and Bitfold (9io)
Studio 9io has launched two free, ad-free games designed for the iPhone Duo on the App Store.
In Football Kick, players fold the phone like a laptop so the bottom half becomes the pitch and the top half the goal, then swipe the ball across the fold. Bitfold turns the folded phone into a retro clamshell console, with twelve original games.
Casus Terrae (Really Real Games)
Casus Terrae is a ten-level arcade shooter that runs entirely on Apple Watch, with a companion iPhone app.
Players barrel-roll with a flick of the wrist, and two watches can team up in online co-op. The full game is free for a limited time.
Space Racing Warriors (L33t Pro Games)
Space Racing Warriors, a free-to-play anti-gravity combat racer from Spanish developer L33t Pro Games, needs no download and runs in the browser on PC, mobile and tablet.
It’s built in HTML5 and optimised for low- and mid-range devices. It’s also coming to Steam next week.
