Game of Thrones: Kingsroad Mobile Requirements & Tested Devices (iOS / Android)

Quick Answer

Kingsroad is a demanding, always-online action RPG that launched on mobile first and came to PC on May 14, 2026. Here is the full picture of what each platform needs:

Platform	Official requirement	Real-world picture
iOS	iOS 15.0+ with A12 Bionic or later	iPhone XS and newer run it; newer chips run it much better
iPadOS	iPadOS 15.0+ (compatible iPad models per App Store)	Recent iPads are strong; check your model on the listing
Android	No published spec sheet (Play Store filters devices)	Flagship chips smooth; recent mid-range playable at reduced settings
PC (Steam)	i5-2500K / GTX 1060 6GB / 8 GB RAM / 60 GB / DX12	Runs well above minimum on most gaming PCs
Steam Deck	Officially Playable	Works with settings tweaks; see our Steam Deck guide

Official iOS Requirements (iPhone & iPad)

From Apple's App Store listing:

• iPhone: Requires iOS 15.0 or later and a device with an A12 Bionic chip or later. Apple lists the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max as early compatible models — the A12 generation. Every flagship since (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16 series) is comfortably above the floor.
• iPad: Requires iPadOS 15.0 or later; Apple lists the specific compatible iPad models on the listing. Modern iPad Air and iPad Pro models run the game well; community reports on the iPad Air M4 describe a strong experience.

What this means in practice:

• iPhone 11 and newer: fine. The A13 onward clears the minimum cleanly; frame pacing improves with each generation.
• iPhone XS / XS Max: the official floor — it runs, but expect reduced settings and shorter sessions before thermal throttling.
• iPhone X and older: not supported (below the A12 requirement).

Android Requirements: What We Know

Netmarble does not publish one official Android minimum spec on the store page. Instead, Google Play automatically hides or greys out the install button on devices it filters as incompatible — that is the fastest official signal for your specific phone.

Beyond that gate, community experience across launch-year and recent devices paints a consistent picture:

Tier	Typical devices (community-reported)	Expected experience
Smooth	Recent flagships: Snapdragon 8-series (8 Gen 1/2/3), Dimensity 9000-series and up, iPhone 13-class and better	High/ultra presets, stable frame pacing
Playable	Recent upper mid-range: Snapdragon 7-series, Dimensity 7000/8000-series, Samsung A5x/A6x with newer chips, Redmi Note and POCO mid-range	Low–medium presets, occasional dips in crowds and boss fights
Struggle	Older mid-range and budget chips (e.g., Dimensity 700-class, 4 GB RAM devices)	Frequent stutters, touch delay, thermal throttling

Two caveats matter:

1. Device reports vary even within the same model line — chip variant (Exynos vs Snapdragon), RAM, thermal design, and background load change results. Treat the table as a starting point, not a guarantee.
2. The game patches often, and each patch can shift performance. A device that struggled in June may run better after September's optimizations, and vice versa.

If your phone is in the "Playable" tier, our best mobile settings guide and FPS boost guide are the difference between playable and pleasant. If taps feel delayed even at stable frame rates, see the mobile touch troubleshooting guide.

Storage, Download Size, and Internet

• It is an always-online game. There is no offline mode; play requires a stable internet connection (Wi-Fi recommended for patches and world boss sessions).
• Storage: the PC version lists 60 GB officially. The mobile install is a multi-gigabyte download that grows with patches — keep 10+ GB free on your phone before installing to avoid mid-patch surprises.
• Account: progress is account-based and syncs across mobile and PC once linked — see the crossplay and cross-progression guide.

Official PC Requirements (For Comparison)

If you are weighing mobile against PC, the official Steam requirements are:

Tier	CPU	RAM	GPU	Storage
Minimum	Intel Core i5-2500K / AMD FX-8350	8 GB	GeForce GTX 1060 6GB	60 GB (SSD recommended)
Recommended	Intel Core i7-9700 / AMD Ryzen 5 5500	16 GB	RTX 2070 / RX 5700 XT / Arc A770	60 GB (SSD recommended)

DirectX 12 and a broadband connection are required. The Steam Deck is officially rated Playable, and any gaming PC from roughly 2016 onward clears the minimum. Our mobile vs PC guide covers which platform suits which player, and the Steam Deck settings guide covers handheld tuning.

How to Check Whether Your Device Can Run It

1. iPhone/iPad: open the App Store listing and check the Information section — it states the iOS version and chip requirement and will hide the download button on unsupported devices.
2. Android: search for the game in Google Play — if your device is filtered out, the install button will be unavailable or the listing will say it is not compatible.
3. Borderline device? Try it within the refund/return window where your store offers one, start at the lowest graphics preset, and use the tuning guides above before judging performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Kingsroad work on iPhone 11 / 12 / 13?

Yes. All three exceed the A12 Bionic minimum. The 11 is the closest to the floor and benefits most from reduced settings; 12 and 13 models are comfortably above it.

Does Kingsroad work on Samsung A15 / A26 / A35?

It depends on the chip inside your specific model and market variant. Recent A-series phones with newer mid-range chips are community-reported as playable at reduced settings; older or budget variants may be filtered out by the Play Store entirely. The install-button check in the previous section is the fastest answer for your exact phone.

Can I play Kingsroad on a tablet?

Yes — iPadOS 15+ iPads per the App Store listing, and Android tablets that pass the Play Store compatibility check. Large-screen play benefits from the game's controller support; see our controller guide.

Why does my phone overheat when playing?

Kingsroad renders a dense open world and pushes sustained GPU load. Thermals are the usual ceiling on mobile. Lower the graphics preset, remove the case while playing, avoid charging mid-session, and shorten boss-fight sessions — the FPS boost guide covers the settings order that reduces heat fastest.
