Differences from PC (from hands-on reports; re-verified on launch day)
| Item | Mobile | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Controls | Virtual stick + aim assist | Assist strength is adjustable. Veterans: turn most of it off — the auto-aim fights your steering |
| Pacing | Shorter sessions | Rush hour chopped into 15-minute slices — visibly commute-shaped |
| Graphics | Trimmed, not blurry | The hole's lighting survives; the deepest fog is simplified. Acceptable |
| UI | Fully rearranged | Finger-first: order/serve hitboxes are 30% larger than PC |
| Exclusives | None found so far | The official line is "full content" — read backwards: no mobile-only story (for now) |
Buying advice for three kinds of people
| Who | Advice | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Brand-new players | Start on mobile, full stop | Entirely viable — our Beginner Guide was rewritten mobile-first. One warning: do not dive to the bottom on a subway; you will miss your stop |
| PC veterans (double-dip inclined) | Wait for launch day | Two questions decide: save sync, DLC inclusion. Double-dip only on double-yes; any no means you are paying for faith |
| PC veterans (nostalgia only) | Not recommended | Your muscle memory lives on a keyboard. Mobile asks you to relearn the hands — unless a second "first time as Dave" is exactly what you want |
