History[]
War Brokers Mobile was first suggested on January 6th, 2018, by a now deleted Discord user. The main Developer of War Brokers, JoJa15, responded:
"We would love to have it on mobile too. There are a couple of challenges to doing so. The main problem with iOS or Android would be controls added, the second would probably be performancece. Touch phones do not lend themselves to first person shooter controls where you need quick reflexes and pinpoint precision. Phones are getting faster so performance might be ok but it might be limited to phones of the last couple years. Also, network performance can be spotty on phones sometimes so that is an additional challenge." ― JoJa15 (January 6, 2018)
Although many attempts have been made to play War Brokers on other devices, like a Samsung Smart Fridge, the most recent developments came when developer Dipper uploaded a photo of War Brokers being run on a 2018 Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 on April 24th, 2020. It is also stated in a message by JoJa15 that the same game had successfully ran on a Google Pixel 2XL.
It was later revealed that the 2XL and the Mi Pad 4 were running a .apk file, instead of a browser, to access the game.
On May 6th, 2020, developer JoJa15 posted a link to download a .apk file, and announced that War Brokers Mobile has entered Alpha testing and that any player with an Android mobile device could participate. However, the file will not run on any other phone operating system, like iOS.
On February 3rd, 2021, developer Dipper posted a custom .io link (https://warbrokers.io/mobile.php) and announced that War Brokers Mobile was now available for any player with an iOS device. However, it was recommended that the player use an Apple device above an iPhone 12 or iPad Pro, because any older devices could run out of RAM memory while running the game.

Controls[]
War Brokers Mobile is distinct from War Brokers in the fact that it is utilizing a touch screen to control the players’ actions.
- At the bottom left corner of the screen, there is a digital analog stick, which controls the players' forward, backwards, and side strafe motions, equivalent to the WASD or Arrow key controls.
- Focal movement is controlled by dragging a touch device across the screen in the direction the player chooses to look at.
- There are 4 digital buttons on the bottom right corner of the screen.
