Mobile and Steam Deck

Phones and tablets: the browser version

Open the official site in your phone's browser and tap Enter World. There is nothing to install and no account. The game draws its own on-screen touch controls. What decides whether it runs is WebGPU, the graphics feature the browser version needs.

Android: what you need

• Chrome 121 or newer on Android 12 or newer, on a phone with a Qualcomm (Adreno), ARM (Mali) or Intel GPU. That is where Chrome turns WebGPU on by default.
• Phones with an Imagination (PowerVR) GPU need Android 16.
• On Samsung Xclipse GPUs (some Galaxy models) and other GPUs, Chrome has not switched WebGPU on by default yet.
• Samsung Internet also supports WebGPU. Firefox for Android does not by default.

On Android the first tap puts the game in fullscreen and locks it to landscape, so the browser bars get out of the way. Long-pressing does not open the browser's menu.

iPhone and iPad: what you need

• iOS or iPadOS 18 or newer (or iOS 17.4+ with WebGPU enabled in Safari Feature Flags), where WebGPU is officially supported.
• Switching browsers does not help. Chrome and the other iPhone and iPad browsers run on Safari's engine, so they get the same WebGPU support as Safari.
• iPhone browsers cannot put a web page in fullscreen or lock its orientation. Turn the phone sideways yourself, and expect the browser bars to stay.

First run on a phone

• The first seconds stutter while the game prepares its shaders. This settles once they are built.
• If the graphics driver crashes, the game says so on screen. Reload the page to play on.
• "This browser has no WebGPU" means your browser or system is too old, or your GPU is not supported yet. Update both; if that does not help, see Winlator below.
• Settings worth changing: lower Render Scale for a steadier frame rate (it draws the 3D world at a fraction of the screen's resolution), and adjust UI Scale and HUD Scale so the interface fits a small screen.
• Late waves put hundreds of enemies on screen; close other apps and keep the phone charged.

Winlator: the Windows build on Android

Winlator is a free, open-source Android app that runs Windows (x86_64) programs with Wine and Box64. You can try it with the official Windows build of Azeroth Survivors, which needs no WebGPU. It is worth the setup only if your phone's browser cannot run the game.

1. Install Winlator only from its GitHub releases page (version 11.2 at the time of writing). Open it once and let it finish setting up.
2. On the phone, download the Windows build from the official page. It is a .rar archive: extract the whole folder with an archive app that opens .rar files.
3. In Winlator, create a container, start it, and open the game's .exe from the extracted folder. Winlator's own tips suggest adding a shortcut on its home screen, where you can keep separate settings for one game.
4. If it is unstable, Winlator's tips suggest trying a different Box64 preset in the container's Advanced settings.

Never install an APK that claims to be Azeroth Survivors itself. Winlator is a separate tool; the game only ever comes from the official page.

Steam Deck

Azeroth Survivors is not on Steam, so there is no store page and no Steam Deck rating. Both routes below are unofficial, and we have not tested them on a Deck ourselves. The game supports gamepads: by default the left stick moves, the right stick turns the view, A jumps, and the bumpers and triggers zoom. Stick dead zone, camera speed and axis inversion are in Options → Gamepad.

With either route, addons work as on any PC: with the Windows build, use Options → AddOns → Open AddOns Folder; in the browser, install a .zip. See the addons guide.
