Starting from July 19th 2022, Into the Breach will also be released for the first time on Android and iOS mobile devices.

"Once released, you download the game from the App Store / Good Play Store. Then you'll need to login with your Netflix account and it will play like any other app." (Subset Games' Twitter post/reply)
"It will only be playable via Netflix for the foreseeable future." (Subset Games' Twitter post/reply)
