Obviously there’s the iOS re lease, but you’re also able to get both Android and iOS versions on your tablet as well as your phone. The supported devices have been greatly expanded since the early access. If you still haven’t gotten it yet, go on and take a look. At least we finally have Arena on mobile, for both Android and iOS devices. How to Get Arena on the Google Play Store Increased overall performance, a higher FPS, a wider range of aspect ratios, greater connection stability, and a ton of bug fixes were just some of Wizards’ mentioned improvements. There have been some changes between the early access and the full release, which happened on March 25. Some people had trouble finding and downloading the app, while other players couldn’t log in or just generally experienced plenty of bugs and glitches as they tried to play, but we’ll get to that in a bit. There were… a lot of issues, to put it mildly. Like I’ve mentioned a couple times, the early access version of Android’s MTG Arena was released on January 28.

Nobody got any answers until a 2019 earnings call with Brian Goldner, the Hasbro Chairman and CEO, revealed that they were planning on release Arena to mobile in 2020. Questions would continue about half a year after that, and then again in June 2019. That was back in June 2020, and it isn’t even where this story starts.Īs far back as 2018, Reddit threads popped up discussing the possibility of Arena moving over to mobile devices. We’ve touched on it before, but players have been wondering about a mobile release since before Wizards announced their release for Mac OS.
