Pathless Triumphantly Returns to iOS with Standalone App Store Launch

The Pathless, previously an Apple Arcade and console exclusive, returns to iOS as a standalone mobile release! This action-adventure title, celebrated for its expansive world and precise archery combat, is now accessible without an Apple Arcade subscription or console.

Experience the minimalist yet richly detailed world created by the Abzû team. Players assume the role of a hunter, tasked with lifting a curse from a vast island using mystical abilities and their trusty bow and arrow.

We highly recommend The Pathless (and previously provided three compelling reasons to play it). Its standalone iOS release is fantastic news!

While some Apple Arcade games disappear after their initial run, The Pathless's journey highlights a different perspective. Initially planned as a console exclusive, its Apple Arcade inclusion proved pivotal. The positive reception on Apple Arcade likely spurred this standalone mobile release.
