Neo Artifacts iOS Release: Is There An iPhone Version, And When Will It Launch?
Yes, Neo Artifacts has a full iPhone and iPad version launching simultaneously with Android on March 5, 2026, with its own dedicated App Store listing already live and confirmed by both the official site and multiple regional App Store pages.
Is there an iPhone version of Neo Artifacts?
Neo Artifacts is confirmed for iOS as a simultaneous global launch alongside Android, with Dragonest Games listing it as “Expected March 5, 2026” across multiple regional App Stores including Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan. The App Store listing is published by Long Entertainment Company Limited (Dragonest’s parent publisher) under app ID 6569253108, and is listed as free to download with in-app purchases.
The iOS version is not a scaled-back port — it is a full release with the same tactical SRPG content, Artifacter roster, story, and gacha system as the Android build. The listing is designed for iPad, meaning it’s optimised for larger screens while also running on iPhone and iPod touch.
When does Neo Artifacts launch on iOS?
The App Store listing explicitly states “Expected March 5, 2026” across all confirmed regional stores, making this the only official iOS launch date published by Dragonest. Reddit’s gachagaming community confirms the same date for both iOS and Android globally. Thai gaming coverage specifies the launch is simultaneous on iOS and Android in all supported regions with no iOS-only delay.

iOS device requirements
The App Store listing publishes official minimum requirements for every Apple device type, making Neo Artifacts one of the most broadly compatible new gacha releases in terms of supported OS versions.
Official iOS requirements
| Device | Minimum OS required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| iPhone | iOS 12 or later | Covers iPhone 5s and all newer models |
| iPad | iPadOS 12 or later | Covers iPad Air 2, iPad mini 4, and all newer models |
| iPod touch | iOS 12 or later | 7th generation iPod touch supported |
| Mac (Apple Silicon) | macOS 11.0 or later with M1 chip or later | Playable natively on M1/M2/M3 Macs via App Store |
| Apple Vision Pro | visionOS 1.0 or later | Compatible with Apple’s spatial computing headset |
The iOS 12 minimum means virtually any iPhone from the past decade can technically run Neo Artifacts, but for a smooth experience on older devices like iPhone 8 or XR, lowering in-game graphics settings is strongly recommended.
iOS download size and what to expect
The App Store listing puts the initial download package at approximately 4 GB, after which Neo Artifacts downloads the remaining game data on first launch — bringing the total install to around 12.61 GB. iOS handles this in two stages automatically: the App Store downloads the base 4 GB package, then the game itself pulls remaining assets the first time you open it.
iOS storage breakdown
| Stage | Size | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| App Store base download | ~4 GB | Required before game launches for the first time |
| In-game data download | ~8–9 GB additional | Downloads automatically on first launch; keep Wi-Fi connected |
| Total install size | ~12.61 GB | Confirmed across multiple CBT gameplay records |
| Recommended free space | 15–20 GB | Accounts for patches and future content updates |
Keep your iPhone or iPad plugged in and on Wi-Fi during first launch — the in-game asset download is large enough that it will drain a significant portion of your battery and may be interrupted if you switch to mobile data.
Language support on iOS
The official App Store listing confirms Neo Artifacts launches with three languages on iOS at global release.
Supported languages at launch
| Language | Platform availability |
|---|---|
| English | Full iOS and Android support at global launch |
| Japanese | Full iOS and Android support at global launch |
| Traditional Chinese | Full iOS and Android support at global launch |
Simplified Chinese (for the CN client) uses a separate app entirely; the global App Store version listed here is the EN/JP/TW build only.
How to pre-register and download on iOS
The App Store listing is already live and searchable, so iOS players can mark it for pre-order or notification ahead of the March 5 launch right now.
- Open the App Store on your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Silicon Mac.
- Search “Neo Artifacts” or navigate directly using app ID 6569253108.
- Tap “Pre-Order” (or “Get” if servers have already opened) to be notified automatically when the game goes live on March 5.
- Pre-register on the official site at artifacts.dragonest.com to lock in pre-registration milestone rewards separately from the App Store notification.
- Free up at least 15–20 GB of storage before March 5 so the base download and in-game data pull complete without interruption.
- Log in by March 5 to claim the Cumulus Collection launch bundle and all pre-registration milestone rewards via in-game mail.
For Mac users with M1 or later chips, Neo Artifacts can be downloaded directly from the Mac App Store, no emulator needed, making it one of the few new gacha titles with native Mac support at launch.
