THQ Nordic has released Gothic Classic on iOS, marking the game's debut on Apple's mobile platform. The iOS version arrives following recent launches on PlayStation and Xbox consoles, expanding the classic RPG's reach beyond its original PC release and earlier Nintendo Switch port.

The iOS edition features optimized touch controls designed for touchscreen play, alongside full physical gamepad support for players preferring traditional controls. The game includes cloud saves and Game Center support. THQ Nordic emphasizes that the mobile version contains the complete 50+ hour experience without cuts, simplified mechanics, or mobile monetization.

Gothic Classic is priced at $10.99 on the App Store, compared to $29.99 for the console versions. The game originally released as a pre-order bonus for Gothic 1 Remake before becoming a standalone title across multiple platforms.

Players return to the penal colony of Khorinis, where the game's seamless 3D world features a 24-hour simulated NPC routine. The core gameplay involves aligning with one of three rival camps, mastering diverse weapons and spells, and navigating a reactive world where survival is the primary objective.
