Bandai Namco Brings My Hero Ultra Rumble to Mobile
The My Hero Academia battle royale game is set to launch on iOS and Android without cross-play support with other platforms.
Updated on Nov. 5, 2026 in Gaming
Bandai Namco announced that My Hero Ultra Rumble will arrive on iOS and Android mobile devices. The mobile versions will not include cross-play support with the game's existing console and PC releases.
Why it matters
The announcement extends access to the My Hero Academia-themed battle royale title to mobile players worldwide. Because the mobile builds differ in gameplay balance, players on different platforms will play separately.
The mobile versions are expected to support around 24 players per session, matching the original releases. The game has launched 19 seasons, with new seasons arriving every two months, each adding playable characters; the mobile release date was not announced.
The players
Bandai Namco
Bandai Namco is a Japanese entertainment company that publishes and develops video games, including the My Hero Ultra Rumble franchise.
The details
The mobile version was announced in a Jump manga magazine. The original console and PC releases from 2023 for PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and PC received cross-play support with the 10th seasonal update in March 2025, but the mobile versions will not join that cross-play system.
Timeline
2023: Original release on PS4, Switch, Xbox One, and PC.
March 2025: Cross-play support added with the 10th seasonal update.
September 2026: Game reaches its third anniversary with the 19th season launched.
Platform Expansion Pattern
The mobile announcement departs from the March 2025 cross-play update that connected the game's console and PC players. Mobile players will instead play separately, reflecting the gameplay balance differences the publisher cited.
Players who want the game on a phone will be able to download it on iOS and Android once released. Those players will not be able to join matches with friends who play on consoles or PC.
The takeaway
Mobile players should check platform compatibility before planning to play with friends on other systems. The mobile release brings the game to new devices, but separate matchmaking means cross-platform groups will not be able to join the same sessions.
