The Pathless Returns on iOS as Standalone App

The Pathless returns to iOS as a standalone release, offering mobile players another chance to experience this acclaimed action-adventure title. Previously an Apple Arcade exclusive, this archery-focused exploration game is now available without a subscription.

This minimalist masterpiece from the creators of Abzû boasts a vast open world and engaging combat. Players assume the role of a hunter, tasked with lifting a curse from a mysterious island using mystical abilities and their trusty bow and arrow.

We highly recommend The Pathless – its return as a standalone iOS title is excellent news. While some Apple Arcade games disappear after leaving the service, The Pathless's journey demonstrates the platform's potential to launch games into wider mobile availability. Initially planned as a console exclusive, its Apple Arcade debut generated enough positive feedback to warrant this standalone mobile release.
