Infinity BladeOne of the most impressive iOS games of its time, it was long-delisted but is back for the first time in years, albeit unofficially.
As early as 2007, the first-generation iPhone was released and took the world by storm. This was Apple’s first attempt at a phone, offering a beautiful touchscreen filled with a variety of apps and games that were very intuitive and unique compared to its competitors. Graphically, for the most part, there’s nothing impressive about it, at least not until 2010’s Infinity Blade, which was actually developed by Fortnite maker Epic Games , you probably haven’t thought about it in years. But unfortunately, the action RPG was pulled along with its two sequels in 2018 due to issues with updating the game on modern hardware. The game has been unplayable since then, but PC Gamer reports that a dedicated group of fans have managed to make it playable on PC via a port of the game.

As revealed by the Infinity Blade Reddit subreddit (yes, there are subreddits for everything), the port features “upgraded textures, graphics, and various PC-specific optimizations such as keybindings, audio sliders, file management wait”. The port appears to have been done anonymously, and on the Internet Archive page where the port is listed, the modder who made the port explains that “all efforts put into this port were purely to preserve lost media.” Of course, although the game has been out since 2018 It hasn’t been available for purchase since 2020, and it hasn’t been available for download since 2020, but it’s still possible that Epic Games might propose a removal, so don’t expect it to be around forever.
Honestly, Infinity Blade was the first game that made me think, “Wow, can I play this on an iPhone?” Well, technically I only had an iPod Touch at the time, but you know what I mean. Of course, mobile gaming has come a long way since then, with phones allowing you to play games like Genshin Impact without any major issues. Yes, I feel old now, why do you ask?
