The Pathless Returns to iOS

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

This minimalist title, from the creators of Abzû, offers a rich experience. Players assume the role of a hunter, tasked with lifting a curse from a vast island using mystical abilities and a trusty bow and arrow.

We enthusiastically welcome The Pathless's standalone iOS debut. While some Apple Arcade titles disappear after removal from the service, The Pathless's journey highlights a potential benefit of the platform. Initially slated for console-only release, its Apple Arcade inclusion generated positive feedback, ultimately paving the way for this standalone mobile version.
