"No Way Home" Leaves Apple Arcade for iOS

Author:Kristen Update:Jan 14,2026
  • No Way Home has expanded beyond Apple Arcade and is now available for iOS devices
  • Immerse yourself in a captivating hand-drawn space shooter experience
  • Battle swarms of enemies, freely explore diverse environments, and accomplish challenging missions

While Apple Arcade boasts incredible titles (including some truly standout games), it suffers from the same drawback as all subscription gaming services: exclusivity limitations. When you discover a must-play game surrounded by less appealing options, you face an unfortunate dilemma – subscribe solely for that title or miss out entirely.

Fortunately, exclusive agreements sometimes expire, as demonstrated by SMG Studio's twin-stick shooter No Way Home now reaching broader audiences. This visually striking space adventure delivers both frenetic action and an engaging narrative.

The game thrusts you into deep space as captain of an astral liner suddenly encased in ice. After your ship's AI ejects you moments before catastrophic asteroid damage, you awaken stranded in unfamiliar territory – quite literally finding yourself with No Way Home.

Unlike conventional twin-stick shooters focusing solely on bullet-dodging action, No Way Home blends Elite: Dangerous-style exploration with traditional space combat. Players navigate expansive environments, undertake varied missions, and engage in tactical battles.

Personally, I detect welcome similarities to Sunless Sea's atmospheric storytelling merged with satisfying shooter mechanics. This innovative combination of narrative depth, exploration freedom, and strategic combat creates a refreshing formula that many gamers will appreciate seeing on the standard App Store.
