Apple has kicked off a neat event on the App Store. As part of the platform’s Indie Games Week, some well-known titles are hitting iPhones and iPads, some of which you can grab now. Arguably the biggest name among the bunch is No Man’s Sky.
After Hello Games brought No Man’s Sky to Mac in 2023, someone on the team claimed they could get the game running on an iPhone, according to studio co-founder Sean Murray. While the iPhone and iPad version includes all of the space exploration and survival game’s updates from the last decade, it has the same initial restrictions as the Nintendo Switch port — you won’t be able to access multiplayer or settlements on iOS or iPadOS at the outset. Hello Games did eventually bring those features to the Switch 2 version. “Based on feedback and player numbers we will support iOS in a similar way,” Murray said.
The iOS port has rebuilt touch controls. It supports TV casting, controller inputs and mouse and keyboard on iPad. What’s more, No Man’s Sky takes up less than 5GB of storage on iPhone and iPad. “A lot of PC and console games, if they can make the jump to mobile at all, are confined to the very latest iOS devices, but we are super-proud that we have been able to make No Man’s Sky playable on iPhone 11 and 3rd generation iPad Air and above,” Murray said.
