Dispatch from AdHoc Studio is coming to iOS and Android at a price of $19.99, adding mobile to a lineup that already covers Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. According to Gematsu, the phone and tablet version is now officially on the way.

It is a bold move for a story-driven comedy, and honestly, it makes a lot of sense. Dispatch is the kind of game you play in chunks, and that suits a phone far better than people tend to assume.
Dispatch on iOS and Android: price and platforms
The mobile version is listed at $19.99. That is a premium price for a mobile game, where most players are used to free downloads with a pile of microtransactions on top. A flat fee for the whole thing is a refreshing approach, and it tells you AdHoc Studio sees this as a proper version of the game rather than a cut-down spin-off.
With iOS and Android joining the list, Dispatch will be available on seven platforms:
- Nintendo Switch 2
- Nintendo Switch
- PlayStation 5
- Xbox Series X|S
- PC
- iOS
- Android
That is about as wide a spread as an indie-scale studio can realistically aim for. Few games manage to be on every major console, PC and both mobile storefronts.
Why Dispatch makes sense on mobile
Narrative games have always done well on touchscreens. Tapping through dialogue and picking responses feels natural there, and you can pick the game up on a commute and put it down again without losing the thread. Dispatch is built around that kind of choice-driven, character-first storytelling, so the jump to mobile should feel more natural than a lot of ports do.
My one real concern is the usual one for any mobile port: interface and performance. Touch controls need to feel considered, not just bolted on, and the game needs to run well on mid-range phones rather than only the latest flagships. Until people get hands-on time, that is the thing to watch.
Still, the $19.99 price will make some people hesitate when the App Store is full of cheap alternatives. If you already own Dispatch on console or PC, this is mostly a convenience play. If you have never touched it, mobile could be the easiest way to see what the fuss is about.
