The Pathless returns to iOS as a standalone release! This action-adventure title, previously an Apple Arcade exclusive, is now available for mobile play without a subscription. Experience its vast open world and precise archery combat.
Developed by the creators of Abzû, The Pathless maintains a minimalist aesthetic while delivering substantial gameplay. Players assume the role of a hunter, tasked with lifting a curse from a sprawling island using mystical abilities and a bow and arrow.
We highly recommend The Pathless (previously featured in our "three reasons to play" article). Its standalone release on iOS is welcome news.
While some Apple Arcade games disappear after leaving the service, The Pathless's journey highlights a different path. Initially slated as a console exclusive, its Apple Arcade presence proved successful, leading to this standalone mobile release. This demonstrates the potential for Apple Arcade to act as a launchpad for broader mobile distribution.
