The new Tomb Raider Mobile is turning heads by delivering a console-like experience on phones and tablets. But after all, what are the minimum requirements to run the game on Android and iOS?
Based on available information and official App Store data (including compatibility and file size), we’ve gathered everything you need to know before downloading.
Tomb Raider Mobile – iOS Requirements (Confirmed)
According to the official App Store listing, the game requires:
- System: iOS 18.0 or later
- Processor: A12 Bionic chip or later
- Storage space: Approximately 9.6 GB
- Category: Action
- Developer: Feral Interactive Ltd
Compatible iPhones
The game runs on devices with A12 Bionic or later, including:
- iPhone XS / XS Max / XR
- iPhone 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max
- iPhone SE (2nd and 3rd generation)
- iPhone 12 series
- iPhone 13 series
- iPhone 14 series
- iPhone 15 series
- iPhone 16 series
- iPhone 17 series
- Newer models compatible with iOS 18
In other words, any iPhone released from 2018 onwards (with A12 or later) should officially run the game.
Compatible iPads
It also requires:
- iPadOS 18 or later
- A12 chip or newer
Including iPad mini 5th generation and later, iPad 8th generation+, iPad Air 3rd generation+, and recent Pro models.
Tomb Raider Mobile – Android Requirements (Expected – Not Official)
There is still no final confirmation for the Android version, but based on the game’s size (nearly 10 GB) and expected graphical level, the likely requirements are:
- Android 12 or higher
- Processor: Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 or higher (recommended)
- RAM: Minimum 6 GB
- Storage: Approximately 10 GB free space
Recommended processors
In addition to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, good performance is expected on:
- Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1
- Snapdragon 8 Gen 2
- Snapdragon 8 Gen 3
- Dimensity 9000 / 9200 / 9300
- Exynos 2200 or higher
Mid-range phones with Snapdragon 7 Gen 1/7+ Gen 2 might run it, but possibly with reduced graphics.
How much space does the game take up?
- iOS: 9.6 GB download, 16 GB installed.
- Android (estimated): ~16 GB
It is recommended to have at least 20 GB free to avoid issues with additional downloads and future updates.
Can Tomb Raider Mobile run on a low-end phone?
Probably not.
The game seems focused on high-end or premium mid-range devices. If your device has:
- 4 GB of RAM
- Older Snapdragon 6xx or 7xx
- Android below 12
It’s very likely that it won’t run or will have very poor performance.
Is it worth upgrading your phone to play it?
If you already have:
- iPhone with A12 or later → You can download it without worry
- Android with Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 or better → Should run well
If your device is below that, it might be worth waiting for official tests before investing in an upgrade.
Price and release
Tomb Raider will be released on February 12, 2026 with a suggested price of US$ 19.99. The game is already available for pre-registration on the Google Play Store and App Store.
With this initiative, Feral Interactive reinforces its strategy of bringing complete console experiences to mobile, proving that it is possible to faithfully play AAA titles on your phone as well.
