📱 MobilePokémon Go Fest 2026 saw its second most lucrative day ever, but is that good or bad?
I think it's fair to say that Pokémon is quite a lucrative franchise. It's not often a card game has people kicking down the door of innocent shop owners to nick them, after all. But it's not just in the physical game that Pokémon is raking in the dough! As aptly demonstrated by Pokémon Go Fest 2026, which saw Niantic's hit AR creature collector not only bringing in massive attendance, but also raking in an estimated $15.1 million! That's a bit shy of their record for a single day with $17 million, but a truly eye-watering number nonetheless! And a pretty huge endorsement of Go's ongoing popularity. ...

🟩 Xbox, MobileRatchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble opens pre-registration for a multiplayer take on the iconic duo
Back in the day, whenever I visited my friend's house, one of the games that really made me regret having an Xbox was Ratchet & Clank, a fast, stylish shooter-slash-platformer with plenty of charm. Since then, the franchise has been in the doldrums a bit, but it could be making a comeback on mobile very soon. That's because Ratchet & Clank: Ranger Rumble, the upcoming mobile spinoff, has finally opened pre-registration on iOS and Android! First announced all the way back in November, it may not be the new single-player entry that fans have been hoping for, but it's interesting nonetheless. ...

📱 MobileNFL Retro Bowl 27 is set to return to a world of retro American Football on Apple Arcade
There are few sporting organisations with as massive a pull as the American NFL. After all, American football is known as the country's game for a reason. But while most gaming adaptations focus on flashy graphics, as well as the pomp and circumstance, NFL Retro Bowl '27 goes in a different direction. Ditching the realistic graphics, NFL Retro Bowl '27 follows on from the 26 edition in taking things back to a retro, pixellated art style. Even the gameplay has been refined down to its bare essence. But don't mistake minimalism for simplicity! Because NFL Retro Bowl '27 offers just as much challenge as its sister series, and even more than last year's Retro Bowl 26! ...

📱 MobileFate: Reawakened's Prometheus DLC has you stealing fire (back) from the gods
With the launch of Fate: Reawakened last year, we saw the rerelease of an overlooked classic on mobile. With revamped graphics and gameplay, Fate offered a surprisingly robust hack 'n slash package. And it's a package only set to increase in content with the launch of the new Prometheus DLC! At a glance, you can probably guess what Prometheus is all about. It takes your intrepid hero to the titular city, where the protective, sacred Golden Flame has been nicked and plunged the area into darkness. With a brand-new Pegasus pet by your side, it's up to you to return the Golden Flame to the city and save it from darkness, you know, no pressure. ...

📱 MobileBlack Desert Mobile's coming updates focus on streamlined content and faster progression
As I've said before, an MMORPG lives and dies by its ability to adapt to an audience's changing tastes. The older they are, the more games of this genre need to evolve to keep up with the times. And at the 2026 Heidel Ball, we got a hint of what was coming to Black Desert Mobile! Overall, you can expect two things: faster progression and streamlined content, as they put it. What this means is that many key systems are going to be getting an overhaul. We saw that already with the tweaks to skill assignments, skill sigils and the new transcendent class category introduced earlier this month. ...

📱 MobileMy Mini Shop Simulator lets you hire, fire and run your own supermarket exactly the way you want
There's definitely some kind of cynical take on the fact that nowadays, one of the biggest fantasies that games seek to let you live out is having any form of stable employment. That chilling thought aside, My Mini Shop Simulator lets you jump into the shoes of a solo supermarket owner and run your store how you want! You know the drill here if you're at all familiar with the management or tycoon format. You'll be running around the shop floor handling customers, stacking shelves and deciding how to organise your store.

📱 MobileRingdown has you keeping a switchboard running in the midst of London's business rush
There have been some odd ideas for puzzlers over the years, but Ringdown is the first time I've seen a telephone switchboard take centre stage. But make no mistake, just because the idea is retro doesn't make it primitive, and in the fast-paced world of 1960s London, you'll find Ringdown offers plenty of challenge. The gameplay is simple; you operate a telephone switchboard. Which, for our younger readers, was a physical location which connected callers to the receiver by slotting a wire manually into a plug. And in Ringdown, the challenge lies in taking the correct colour cable and plugging it into the correct jack. ... MORE(https://www.pocketgamer.com/ringdown/out-now-on-ios/)
