Not as a native mobile game yet. As of October 30, 2026, AdHoc Studio has announced a December 9, 2026 release for iOS and Android, but the mobile game has not launched. Android users can visit the official Google Play listing and use the advance option shown there; AdHoc says iPhone preorders are coming soon, but no live iPhone listing was available in its announcement. If you own Dispatch on PS5 or Steam PC, you can stream that existing copy to a phone now—but streaming is not the same as installing the mobile release.

This guide reflects the announced schedule and store information available on October 30, 2026. AdHoc Studio’s first-anniversary announcement gives December 9, 2026 as the mobile release date. That is a developer-announced date, not confirmation that the game is already available to download. AdHoc Studio’s announcement

How do I download Dispatch on Android?

Before the announced release date, open the official Dispatch listing on Google Play, confirm that AdHoc Studio, Inc. is the publisher, and use the advance action displayed in your region. The listing examined on October 30 showed “Add to wishlist,” while AdHoc describes the advance action as preregistration. On or after December 9, return to the same official listing and select Install if the game is available there.

  1. Open the official listing. Use Dispatch on Google Play, and check that the publisher is AdHoc Studio, Inc. This helps distinguish the announced game from unrelated apps with a similar name.
  2. Before launch, choose the option you actually see. The inspected listing displayed “Add to wishlist.” AdHoc calls the advance action preregistration, but buttons can vary by region or change as launch approaches. Do not assume a particular button will appear for every account.
  3. Return on or after December 9. Check the official listing again. If it shows the game as released and offers Install in your region, use that control to download the native Android version.
  4. Check the listing before installing. Confirm the publisher and the game name on the store page, rather than relying on a search result or an unofficial download page.

Google Play’s description includes the future-tense promotional line “PLAY THE FIRST FOUR EPISODES FOR FREE.” That wording does not mean the mobile game had launched by October 30. The developer’s dated announcement is the relevant source for the announced release schedule. Google Play listing · AdHoc Studio announcement

Before releasing your hand, make sure the phone is firmly fixed. (Not applicable to rough walls, wooden surfaces, and other uneven surfaces)

How do I download Dispatch on iPhone?

Wait for an official App Store listing before trying to preorder or download the iPhone version. AdHoc says App Store preorders are coming soon, but its October 22 announcement does not provide a live iPhone product page or confirm that a preorder is open.

  1. Look for the official listing as launch approaches. Search the App Store for Dispatch and verify that AdHoc Studio is identified as the developer. The announcement does not supply an App Store URL, so do not rely on a guessed product link.
  2. If a preorder control appears, use it only on the verified listing. Preorder availability and the precise button can depend on the store and region.
  3. When the game is released, return to that listing. Download it using the App Store’s available control if the native game is available in your region.

Until an official listing appears, there is no confirmed iPhone download button to follow. A phone streaming a console or computer copy is a separate option, described below.

When does Dispatch come to iOS and Android, and what will it cost?

AdHoc Studio announced December 9, 2026 for the mobile release. The developer also announced four free opening episodes and a $19.99 USD unlock for the full game, with prices varying by region. These are announced terms as of October 30, not a post-launch check of final store prices or availability. AdHoc Studio’s announcement

Mobile access Announced terms
Opening episodes First four episodes free
Full game $19.99 USD unlock; regional prices may vary
Release date December 9, 2026, as announced by AdHoc Studio

Price and release information checked against the developer announcement on October 30, 2026. Verify the store listing for the final price and availability where you live.

The announced mobile release is the base game rebuilt for touch and vertical play. The announcement does not say that a PC or console purchase transfers to mobile, nor that PC or console Deluxe content is included. AdHoc describes the mobile regions as those where the PC and console game is sold, except China and Japan; store availability should still be checked for the individual country and platform.

Apple EarPods Headphones with USB-C Plug, Wired Ear Buds with Built-in Remote to Control Music, Phone Calls, and Volume
  • SUPERIOR COMFORT — Unlike traditional circular ear buds, the design of EarPods is defined by the geometry of the ear. Which makes them more comfortable for more people than any other ear bud–style headphones.
  • HIGH-QUALITY AUDIO — The speakers inside EarPods have been engineered to maximize sound output and minimize sound loss, which means you get high-quality audio.
  • BUILT-IN REMOTE — EarPods with USB-C plug also include a built-in remote that lets you adjust the volume, control the playback of music and video, and answer or end calls with a pinch of the cord.
  • COMPATIBILITY — Works with all devices that have a USB-C port.
  • INTEGRATED MICROPHONE — A built-in microphone precisely captures your voice while you’re on the phone, taking a FaceTime call, or summoning Siri — so you’re always heard loud and clear.

What will Dispatch’s mobile version be like?

Dispatch combines dialogue choices with assigning heroes to respond to emergencies. AdHoc describes the mobile version as redesigned for touch and vertical play; that is the developer’s published description, not a claim based on hands-on use.

The Android listing describes two presentation options: Cinematic, which is widescreen, and Dynamic, which switches to a vertical presentation when the phone is turned upright. Check the available settings and listing on your device after release; the examined Android description does not establish whether every detail or setting is identical on iPhone.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

The Google Play listing gives the game a Mature 17+ rating and lists violence, blood, sexual content, nudity, and language. That rating information is specific to the examined Google Play listing. Parents and players should check the rating and content information displayed by their own store before downloading.

AdHoc’s announcement says the mobile release will support Google Play Games on PC. That is a separate announcement from native phone availability and does not establish that the game is already playable on every computer, or specify the requirements for that PC route.

Can I play Dispatch on my phone before the mobile release?

Yes, if you already own the game on a supported host platform and can stream from that host. The PS5 and Steam PC routes below run the game on your console or computer and send its video and controls to your phone; neither installs the future native mobile game.

Stream a PS5 copy with PS Remote Play

PlayStation lists Dispatch as a PS5 game and marks it as supporting Remote Play. Your PS5 runs the game; the phone acts as the Remote Play screen and control interface. Owning a PS4 alone is not the route established by the Dispatch listing. PlayStation’s Dispatch page

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.
  1. Make sure the game is available on your PS5. Remote Play streams a game running on the console; it does not provide a mobile copy of Dispatch.
  2. Install Sony’s PS Remote Play app on your iPhone or Android phone and configure the app and PS5 using Sony’s setup instructions.
  3. Connect the app to the PS5 and start the installed game through the Remote Play session.
  4. Choose your controls. Sony provides on-screen controls, and supported hardware controllers are optional. A Backbone One PlayStation Edition mobile controller is one possible phone-controller search; Sony identifies it as compatible with PS Remote Play on iOS 15 or later and Android 10.0 or later. Check the connector and exact phone variant before buying. A Sony DualSense wireless controller is another optional route; Sony lists support on iOS 14.5 or later and Android 12 or later, with feature caveats. These are Remote Play accessory compatibility notes, not requirements for the native mobile game. Sony Remote Play guidance

Sony’s general Remote Play guidance specifies at least 5 Mbps and recommends 15 Mbps for a better experience. Those figures apply to Remote Play, not to the native Dispatch app’s network requirements. If you stream over mobile data, the session uses data from your plan. Remote Play is also different from PlayStation Plus Premium cloud streaming: the route here uses your own PS5 as the host, rather than relying on a cloud-streaming catalog or the game’s trial conditions. Sony Remote Play guidance

Stream a Steam PC copy with Steam Link

If you own Dispatch on Steam PC, Valve documents Steam Link for iPhone and Android. Steam runs on the host computer, and Steam Link streams the running PC game to your phone. This is not a standalone mobile installation and does not establish that a separate mobile purchase is included with the PC copy. Valve’s Remote Play page

  1. Install Steam Link on your phone from the relevant app store.
  2. Run Steam on the computer that has your Dispatch copy, and start the game on that host PC.
  3. Connect Steam Link to the computer by following the app’s pairing and connection flow.
  4. Stream the running game to your phone. The computer must remain the host; Steam Link does not turn the phone into an independent installation of Dispatch.

Which streaming route makes sense?

Choose according to the copy you already own and the equipment you can keep available. A PS5 owner can use Sony’s console-hosted Remote Play route; a Steam PC owner can use Steam Link with the computer as host. Either route requires the relevant host to run the game, whereas the announced mobile release is intended as a native, touch-oriented version.

  • Already own the PS5 version? Use PS Remote Play if your console and phone can connect and you are comfortable with a streamed session.
  • Already own the Steam PC version? Use Steam Link if the computer can run the game and remain available as the host.
  • Want to play without a console or computer host? Wait for the native release and check the official store listing when it launches.
  • Considering a controller? Remote Play can use on-screen controls; a compatible physical controller is optional. Do not infer native mobile controller support from Remote Play accessory compatibility.

No particular third-party cloud catalog is established here as a guaranteed way to play Dispatch. Streaming through a host you own and installing the native game are the documented paths relevant to this question.

What should I check if the game is not available in my store?

Check the official store page and the announced timing before treating an unavailable button as a download problem. Availability can depend on the platform and region, and the mobile release date is still in the future as of October 30, 2026.

  • Before December 9: Android may show an advance option rather than Install; the inspected Google Play listing showed “Add to wishlist.” For iPhone, AdHoc says preorders are coming soon, but the announcement did not include a live App Store listing.
  • On or after December 9: Reopen the official listing and check whether the release is available in your country. The developer’s announcement specifies PC and console regions except China and Japan, but that does not guarantee that every mobile storefront will expose the game at the same moment.
  • If the listing looks unrelated: Confirm the publisher is AdHoc Studio or AdHoc Studio, Inc. Do not substitute an unofficial APK, an emulator, or an app with a similar title for the official mobile release.
  • If you are using Remote Play: Confirm you are connecting to the correct host platform and remember that it must run the game. Sony’s 5 Mbps minimum and 15 Mbps recommendation concern Remote Play, not a native installation.

The announcement and store pages do not establish a mobile download size, minimum phone model, offline-play support, mobile cloud-save behavior, cross-save support, or native iOS/Android controller compatibility. Check the final platform listing for device requirements and features rather than applying console or Remote Play specifications to the mobile app.

How should I decide whether to wait or stream now?

If your goal is to play on a phone without a host device, waiting for the announced native release is the direct path. If you already own a PS5 or Steam PC copy and want access before December 9, stream from that platform; the trade-off is that the console or PC remains part of the setup.

The date and launch terms are announcements, so check the relevant store again near release and on or after December 9. AdHoc’s first-anniversary post also says the game has reached more than five million players; that is the developer’s player figure, not a claim about copies sold.

How we picked the ways to play

The options here are limited to routes identified by the game’s developer, official platform listings, or the platform operator: the announced native iOS and Android release, PS5 Remote Play, and Steam Link streaming from a host PC. The distinction that matters is whether the game installs on the phone or runs on another device and streams to it. No unverified cloud catalog or unofficial download is presented as an established Dispatch option.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I play Dispatch on a Chromebook?
