Guild Wars on Mobile

Guild Wars Reforged (Mobile) was released by ArenaNet worldwide on June 24, 2026, on Android and Apple devices, with mobile authentication and payments provided by the Google Play and Apple App infrastructures. Previously, Guild Wars Reforged (Mobile) was released on May 19th, 2026 in select territories only (Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the Philippines, with Korea added shortly thereafter). Mobile play is fully supported and shares the same servers as the PC and Steam Deck clients.

Mobile client

Guild Wars Reforged is available as an official mobile client for iOS and Android devices. Mobile players share the same Live servers as PC and Steam Deck players and there is no special marking in-game distinguishing a mobile player from others. Accounts and progress are fully shared across all platforms when using an ArenaNet account that has a Guild Wars Reforged entitlement. (ArenaNet accounts with Guild Wars 2 are not authenticated unless there is also a Guild Wars Reforged account.)

The mobile clients can be downloaded from the appropriate official store:

Account

There are two types of accounts for mobile players:

Existing accounts

Existing Guild Wars Reforged players can log in on mobile using their existing ArenaNet email-based account or Steam account that has a Guild Wars Reforged entitlement. Accounts and progress are fully shared across platforms with no additional cost. Existing account holders get no ads regardless of login method.

New mobile account

Players who download the mobile client are offered a choice to login with an existing ArenaNet email-based account or login using a Mobile ID tied to their Apple or Google account. Using a mobile account gives ad-supported access to the Prophecies campaign with some restrictions. Chat, player-to-player trading, the ability to invite other players to a party (but you can be invited), and PvP modes are not available. Mobile ID players can optionally link their mobile account to an email-based ArenaNet account to carry their progress to PC or Steam Deck.

Installation

iOS

The iOS version of the client comes preinstalled with the initial game data required to create a character and begin the Prophecies campaign. No large initial download is required before starting. Avoid switching away from the app during any patching or downloading as this is likely to cause a disconnect. If this happens you need to fully exit the app and restart it to resume.

Warning: iOS version 26.4 or later is required. Earlier versions have a memory management issue that will cause the game to restart unexpectedly. Update your device before launching the client.

Android

The Android version currently patches in-game from scratch after installation. This means a significant download of gw.dat will occur on first launch. Note that the loading bar is currently unreliable. Avoid switching away from the app during downloading as this is likely to cause a disconnect requiring a full restart of the app.

Device Compatibility

• Official testing regarding device compatibility as of July 22, 2026: Feedback:Game updates/20260722
• Community research is ongoing, and may be found on the Research subpage.

User Interface

The mobile client features a new user interface and control setup specifically designed for mobile play similar in approach to the Steam Deck UI. The game is designed to be played in landscape mode and should automatically force this orientation. Controls use virtual joysticks for movement. Most of the UI can be navigated by tapping to move to a point on the map. The mobile UI is fully customizable just like on PC.

Notes

• Login with Steam on mobile was added with the July 21, 2026 update.
