Sea of Stars is coming to mobile.
The retro-inspired RPG hits iOS and Android on April 7th. I enjoyed the game when I played it on my Steam Deck in 2023, and it’s been steadily updated since, including with a free DLC.

Nothing will “inevitably” hike smartphone prices because of rising memory costs.
That’s according to Nothing CEO Carl Pei, who, in a big post on X, also said that:
