A pirated iOS port of Blue Prince deceived people to pay $ 10


The Apple App Store review has once again left at least one unofficial mobile port of a new hot game game through – this time, for Blue prince. But shortly after publishing this article, the port we found disappeared from the App Store.

In a spouse Monday,, Blue prince The developer, Dogubomb, and his publisher, Raw Fury, said that they had “received game reports claiming to be Blue prince On iOS. Currently, the game is only available on Steam, Xbox and PlayStation.

Before it was deleted, I easily found an iOS copy of the game just by looking Blue prince On the App Store – it was the first research result. The icon seemed to be the icon of a hypothetical mobile version of the game, the list had screenshots which indeed seemed to Blue princeAnd the description of the game corresponded to the description on Steam.

But on the list of the iOS clone, the seller of the game was listed as “Samet Altinay”, and I do not find any link between this person and Blue prince Apart from this application. Copyright has also been attributed to “Dogbomb” – notice the missing “U”.

I bought the unofficial version now made from Blue princewhich cost $ 9.99 and installed it on my iPhone 16 pro to test it. In a few minutes of play, it seemed to be a barely modified version of reality Blue prince Game, but with some adjustments to make it better suited to mobile, like a virtual joystick. I also quickly met a major bug: when I tried to cross one of the doors of the entrance hall, I fell on the ground.

Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comments. Before the list was withdrawn, the unofficial mobile port was paid 8 application in the IOS entertainment category. When I published the article, he had only three stars review, with the writer saying that they also struck a bug that made them fall on the ground.

If you, like me, buy this clone version of the game, you may want to try to get a refund. Apple has an assistance document on how to request a refund On his website.

Dogubomb and Raw Fury have not officially announced an iOS port of Blue prince. “We have no news on the other platforms at the moment, but if that changes, we will make an official announcement,” they said in their position. “While we are investigating, we ask you not to buy or download these applications.”
