No Man’s Sky made its iPhone and iPad debut on October 28, with FORSAKEN included on day one. The mobile version includes all 40-plus updates, and its opening portion is free to try through the App Store, according to Hello Games’ October 28 announcement.
The free trial is available to owners of iPhone 11 models and newer, as well as third-generation iPad Air models and newer. Hello Games says the port features custom touch controls and accounts for battery life and device thermals, with the game delivered in a single 4GB download.
FORSAKEN also brings its haunted salvage activities to mobile. Travellers can search derelict hulks, abandoned freighters, planetary dig sites, and infested outposts for mementos, then trade them for biomechanical Corvette modules. New cockpits and an interior set add more ship-building options.
