WoW on mobile is coming!

There it is guys, you will soon be able to play WoW on your Samsung tablets/Surface Pros

These said tablets can also be hooked up to a SIM card to play WoW on your phone service

Android phones also use ARM chips called Snapdragon, so that’s most likely the next step

Days are upon us

Umm, people already were?

I can remember threads when the Surface Pro first came out about people playing WoW on it.

Soo, what is the big deal here?

That it is now officially supported?

Probably a lot easier to compile support for “Windows on Arm” since they already support Apple’s M1 chip. That chip is also ARM based. Will probably be able to play on Apple’s M1 based iPads that just came out as well.

That was on x64 based chips these are alot different

Doesn’t the Surface Pro use Intel X86 (CISC-Based) chips? ARM chips are RISC based and need different instructions.

Time and past time for this to happen.

I am still unsure what the big deal is.

People played WoW on mobile devices before, people will continue to play WoW on mobile devices with official support.

The glass is at 50% whether you see it as half full or half empty.

I don’t know, and I don’t see how it makes that much of a difference about playing WoW on mobile devices, that ship sailed years ago.

So a crappy game with no world content… on a crappy tablet…

psssh, eve has a web client in beta. I am told its not that bad actually.

Not a smartphone level of play (even if it was yeah…I’d not do it) but you don’t need a tower or laptop of doom to run it either.

WoW has an architecture so that even people with potatoes can run it with. Their “harsh” requirements that come up so often…aren’t so harsh in the grand scheme of gaming. Imo. Smaller scale systems not a far fetched idea here really.

Not really bothered by it myself. I play on an M1 powered Mac Mini. The Mac Mini is more powerful than the five year old Windows PC (i5 6500 with Nividia 1080) that I played on previously.

Yep.

Some saw the swtich going but but the size man! Okay, what about the size?

Many hours enjoyed playing switch skyrim on the go. Taking my kid to say 2 hours of back to back events…it was 2 hours of skyrim I’d not have if only house play.

With the new iPad Pro’s running the M1 chip I wonder if we’ll ever get an iOS version?

And if so then how would addons work? Really can’t play without certain addons…
