Five years after Inscryption made players question whether they should really trust a talking stoat, the unsettling card game is finally coming to mobile. Developer Daniel Mullins Games announced the port during a fifth-anniversary livestream over the weekend, opening the door for more players to experience its peculiar mix of deck-building, escape-room puzzles, and psychological horror. There’s a catch, though: the mobile version isn’t quite ready, and the developers haven’t announced a release date yet.
Inscryption is coming to mobile, but you’ll have to wait a little longer
Originally released for PC on October 19, 2021, Inscryption blends roguelike card battles with environmental puzzles and a story that gets increasingly strange the deeper players venture. What begins as a grim card game against a mysterious opponent gradually becomes something much harder to categorize. That mix helped the game stand out in a crowded indie market, and its arrival on mobile could introduce the experience to players who haven’t tried it on PC or consoles. The developers say they’re still working to get the port right, so the announcement is a heads-up rather than an invitation to download it today.
There’s no confirmed launch date or detailed breakdown of the mobile release just yet. The announcement also doesn’t spell out pricing or exactly which mobile platforms will get the game. For now, the important bit is that Inscryption is making the jump without a promised pile of new features or content. The goal is to bring the existing experience to more people, rather than turn the game into an ongoing project that keeps adding things long after its story has been told.
Don’t expect new Inscryption DLC anytime soon
If the mobile announcement sparked hopes of new cards, mechanics, or downloadable content, Daniel Mullins Games has some bad news. In a follow-up announcement on Reddit, the team said it considers Inscryption complete, both narratively and in terms of gameplay.
It doesn’t want to add content simply to capitalize on the game’s success, arguing that preserving the atmosphere and identity of the original experience matters more. That’s a fairly firm answer to the community’s requests for more content, even if it leaves the door open to future possibilities for the wider Inscryption universe.

The team’s attention is currently on Pony Island 2: Panda Circus, the long-awaited follow-up to Daniel Mullins’ 2016 game. It’s scheduled to arrive on Steam on April 27, 2027, giving the studio another decidedly strange project to focus on while the mobile port takes shape. For Inscryption fans, the message is simple: the game is getting a new home, not a new chapter. And honestly, there’s something refreshing about a developer resisting the temptation to keep feeding a successful game with expansions just because people want more. The cabin is opening its doors to a new audience, but that doesn’t mean the story needs another hand of cards.

Putting an active cooling fan inside a gaming smartphone is not a revolutionary idea. Red Magic phones have done this for a while, but Honor apparently thinks a single fan isn't enough to cool the demanding Qualcomm flagship chip, so it included two in its new Win 2 gaming smartphone.
The Chinese company unveiled the device alongside the Honor Win RT2 and Win Turbo2, both of which come with a ridiculous 12,070mAh battery.

Microsoft has spent years treating Game Pass as the centerpiece of Xbox, but the subscription service has become something of a problem for the company. Subscriber growth has fallen far short of internal expectations, while putting expensive first-party games on the service from day one has reportedly hurt the full-price sales Microsoft still relies on.
According to Fortune, Sharma is planning a major Game Pass overhaul that would let players choose some features à la carte, including add-ons for console-only games, cloud gaming, and multiplayer, while keeping a tiered subscription structure.

Microsoft has made plenty of waves with its upcoming Project Helix console, and it appears the company is planning a whole family of devices rather than a single gaming box. Beyond the expected performance leap, it seems the upcoming console will deliver another surprise, and not the good kind, mind you. Here's a hint: an astronomical price hike.
According to an expansive profile of Xbox chief Asha Sharma, Microsoft is eyeing a next-gen handheld for 2027, followed by Project Helix in 2028. The catch is the price. The next-gen Xbox could carry a steep asking price unless Microsoft absorbs part of the cost and eats into its margins, or even sells the console at a loss in the hope of making the money back through its services.
