The acclaimed action-adventure game, The Pathless, returns to mobile devices! Previously an Apple Arcade and console exclusive, this archery-focused exploration title is now available as a standalone iOS release. Re-experience the vast open world and satisfying archery combat without needing an Apple Arcade subscription or a console.
Developed by the creators of Abzû, The Pathless maintains a minimalist aesthetic without sacrificing depth. Players assume the role of a nameless hunter, tasked with lifting a curse from a mysterious island using mystical powers and a trusty bow and arrow.
We highly recommend The Pathless (for three compelling reasons, which we previously highlighted). Its standalone iOS release is fantastic news!

While some Apple Arcade titles vanish after removal from the service, The Pathless's journey is a positive example. Its initial Apple Arcade presence may have been crucial to securing this standalone mobile release. Originally intended as a console exclusive, the game's positive reception on Apple Arcade likely paved the way for its wider mobile availability.
