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 the vast open world and precise archery combat that captivated us upon its initial release. Developed by the creators of Abzû, The Pathless offers a minimalist yet richly detailed experience. Players assume the role of a hunter, tasked with lifting a curse from a mysterious island using mystical powers and a trusty bow and arrow.
We highly recommend The Pathless (and previously highlighted three compelling reasons to play it!). Its return as a standalone iOS title is welcome news.
While some Apple Arcade titles disappear after their initial run, The Pathless's journey showcases a different path. Initially slated for console exclusivity, its Apple Arcade appearance generated positive feedback, leading to this standalone mobile release. This demonstrates the potential for Apple Arcade to act as a springboard for wider mobile accessibility.
