Sea of Stars Hits Android and iOS April 7 With No Microtransactions

Playdigious announced that Sea of Stars, the award-winning turn-based RPG from Sabotage Studio, will come to Android and iOS on April 7, 2026 as a single purchase with no ads and no microtransactions. The company opened pre-orders and pre-registrations with a 10 percent launch discount, listing the price at $8.99 instead of $9.99 for early buyers.

The announcement, made January 16, positions the mobile release as a faithful port of a modern homage to classic turn-based RPG design. Players will take control of protagonists Valere and Zale and use the franchise’s trademark timed-hit combat and combo mechanics. Exploration will retain its non-tile-based feel through swimming, jumping, and vaulting, while dynamic lighting and a story-rich campaign aim to preserve the atmosphere that won the game praise on other platforms.

Mobile players can expect the same cozy side activities that helped Sea of Stars stand out on PC and consoles. Fishing, cooking, and tavern minigames remain part of the package, adding low-pressure diversion between battles and exploration. Those features, combined with robust combat systems, make the game appealing to players who like deep RPG loop design without the pressure of microtransactions or constant monetization hooks.

The single-purchase model is the clearest practical benefit for mobile audiences. Sea of Stars will be sold as a low-priced premium app with no ads and no in-app purchases, a contrast to many mobile RPGs that rely on gacha, battle-pass, or consumable economies. For players who prefer one-time buys and full narrative experiences, the mobile launch offers a portable alternative to console or PC play and a straightforward way to support an indie studio.

For community members tracking premium ports and indie RPGs on mobile, the April 7 release date gives time to compare platform performance and to lock in the 10 percent pre-order discount now. Pre-orders are already open, and the discounted price is listed at $8.99 during the pre-order window. Whether you care most about tight timed-hit gameplay, exploratory overworld movement, or cozy minigames, Sea of Stars’ mobile arrival brings a full-package RPG to phones and tablets without the usual monetization strings.

Expect more details on platform-specific features and technical performance as launch approaches; in the meantime, pre-ordering secures the small discount and guarantees access on day one when Sea of Stars arrives on April 7.
