Five best FPS games for mobile in 2025
The five best mobile FPS titles in 2024 are as follows:
5) Delta Force Hawk Ops Mobile
The first trailer of the Delta Force Hawk Ops Mobile looked nothing more than another first-person battle royale game with the same looter-shooter mechanics as other BR titles wherein players fight off each other to survive on a deserted island using the available resources.
However, as its second trailer and gameplay clips were released after the title's Gemini test in China, we are assured the title is filled with an action-packed warfare simulation that mobile gamers might have never seen before.
The title has been designed for all gaming platforms, including PlayStation, Xbox, and iOS and Android devices. It's loaded with thrilling visuals, futuristic high-tech gadgets, unique in-game mechanics, and a gripping storyline.
4) Rainbow Six mobile
Developed by Ubisoft, Tom Cancy’s Rainbow Six Mobile is another multiplayer FPS and tactical shooter title coming this year. Announced in April 2022, the game is set to arrive somewhere around April 2025, reportedly.
Rainbow Six Mobile is a free-to-play game featuring Classic Attack vs Defense mode. It offers fast-paced 5v5 matches, which makes for intense close-quarter combat. Players can also assume the role of an in-game character to acquire unique abilities and gadgets.
The game has fairly realistic graphics, considering it's a mobile game. However, novices may have a hard time learning its complicated weapon-handling mechanics and controllers.
To install the game on iOS devices, iOS 14.4 or later is required, along with an A12 Bionic chip or later and 730.6 MB of space (excluding the in-game installation).
3) Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile
Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile features Verdansk and Rebirth Island as playable maps. It is compatible with Android devices that offer at least 3 GB of RAM and runs Android Adreno 618 or later. For iOS devices, the title requires iOS/ iPadOS 15.0 or later with the A12 bionic chip or better.
The title offers excellent sound effects and a worthwhile experience overall for those seeking a classic battle royale experience.
2) Valorant Mobile
The mobile version of one of the most beloved FPS games, Valorant Mobile, can hit the mobile gaming scene around this July.
Currently undergoing a closed beta test exclusively in China, Valorant Mobile is set to revolutionize the mobile gaming culture and increase its fanbase. It will feature a Replication Mode, classic 5v5 mode, Deathmatch sessions, and customizable HUD options. Currently, no official announcement of the upcoming title's file size for any devices has been made.
To counter the issues ensuing from precise gunfight encounters and weapon recoil, the developer has incorporated a gyroscopic mechanism to help players control the weapon recoil easily. However, since it's unlikely that the game will have an aim assist feature, players could take some time to get accustomed to the gyroscope feature.
The title features animation, sound effects, and map textures like its PC variant.
1) Arena Breakout Season 2
Arena Breakout Season 2 has a new map set in Guoyapos Bay City, which used to be the biggest naval base in the Dark Zone, as per the game's description on the Play Store. Set in the wartorn region of Kamona, you can perform raids and high-stakes extractions.
Arena Breakout is a next-level FPS game and is an extraction looter shooter title. Released on July 10, 2023, it requires Android 5.0 or later and 2GB of space (for Android devices). For iOS devices, 3.7 GB of space is needed, and iOS 11.0 or later.
Developer Tencent Games has designed the game to give it life-like visuals and graphics. Moreover, the title doesn't feature a single health bar but different HP percentages for every body part. This makes for a realistic gaming experience that not many mobile FPS games offer.
