The launch demonstrates that high‑budget, console‑quality games can succeed on mobile platforms, expanding revenue opportunities and setting new expectations for premium mobile gaming.
Mobile gaming has evolved from casual titles to full‑blown experiences that rival traditional consoles. Feral Interactive, known for expertly adapting PC and console games for macOS and Linux, leveraged its technical expertise to bring Tomb Raider to Android and iOS. By preserving the original engine’s fidelity and adding mobile‑specific controls such as gyroscopic aiming, the company bridges the gap between handheld convenience and high‑end gameplay, appealing to both franchise veterans and new mobile‑first gamers.
The Tomb Raider port does more than simply replicate the console version; it enriches the offering with twelve free DLC packs, new outfits, and a bonus Challenge Tomb. These additions, combined with full gamepad and mouse‑and‑keyboard support, create a comprehensive package that justifies its $19.99 price point. The game’s setting on the mysterious Yamatai island introduces survival elements—crafting, resource gathering, and combat against cultists—that differentiate it from previous mobile adaptations and encourage longer play sessions.
Industry analysts view this release as a bellwether for premium mobile titles. As 5G networks mature and smartphones gain more processing power, developers are increasingly confident that console‑grade experiences can generate sustainable revenue on app stores. Feral’s successful launch could inspire other studios to revisit their flagship franchises for mobile, potentially reshaping the market’s revenue distribution and raising consumer expectations for quality and depth in mobile gaming.
Feral Interactive launches Tomb Raider on Android and iOS
Feral Interactive has finally launched their highly anticipated action title, Tomb Raider, which is now available on both Android and iOS for $19.99. This marks the first full‑console Tomb Raider experience to be fully ported to mobile, following its announcement back in December 2025.
So we can now finally experience Lara Croft’s journey from novice explorer to the legend she is. Stranded on the mysterious isle of Yamatai after a shipwreck, you must overcome your limits to survive as the dense forest hides murderous cultists, mercenaries, tombs and dangerous wildlife.
Gameplay‑wise, you get to explore ancient ruins, hunt for materials, craft gear, and unlock skills to survive the island’s threats. As you progress by puzzling, platforming, and fighting enemies, you’ll uncover relics and ancient scrolls that gradually reveal Yamatai’s ancient secrets.
Overall, this game is absolutely worth the premium price you’re paying, since it includes 12 free DLC packs with extra upgrades, outfits and a bonus Challenge Tomb, along with fully optimized gameplay, optional gyroscopic aiming, full gamepad and MnK support, and more. I can’t wait to get my hands on it.

Tomb Raider is now available on both Android and iOS for $19.99 / £12.99 / €15,99. You can download the game via the Google Play Store or the App Store.
