Dispatch mobile release date: Dec. 9 on iOS and Android, first four episodes free and $19.99 for the full game

Dispatch, AdHoc Studio’s superhero workplace comedy, is coming to phones, and half of it is free. Here’s when Dispatch launches on iOS and Android, what it costs and where it’s available.

When does Dispatch come to iOS and Android?

On Wednesday, Dec. 9, 2026. AdHoc announced the date on Oct. 22, exactly one year after Dispatch premiered on PS5 and Steam. The mobile version launches on iOS and Android, with support for Google Play Games on PC.

AdHoc points players to pre-registration on Google Play, where the Dispatch listing is live, and says App Store pre-orders are coming soon. AdHoc hasn’t announced a launch time.

How much is Dispatch on mobile?

The first four episodes are free, the entire opening half of the story. After that, unlocking the full game costs $19.99 in the US, and prices vary by region.

The free part matches the first two weeks of the original weekly release, Episodes 1 and 2 on Oct. 22, 2025, and Episodes 3 and 4 on Oct. 29. The $19.99 unlock opens Episodes 5 to 8.

What’s in Dispatch mobile

The mobile version is the base game, all eight episodes, rebuilt for touch and vertical play. Dispatch splits its time between choice-driven story scenes, voiced by a cast led by Aaron Paul as Robert Robertson, and the dispatch desk, where players send heroes to emergencies and manage the team. Both have been reworked for touchscreens. The Google Play listing offers two ways to play: Cinematic mode, full widescreen, and Dynamic mode, which shifts into a vertical layout when you turn the phone upright.

AdHoc lists the base game for mobile. It hasn’t announced the Digital Deluxe content, including the new Commentary and Storyboard modes, for phones.

Which countries get Dispatch on mobile?

Every region where Dispatch is sold on PC and console, except China and Japan. AdHoc hasn’t given a reason for the two exclusions.

Dispatch on every platform

AdHoc says more than five million players have played Dispatch. A second season hasn’t been announced, as our Dispatch season 2 release date page explains.
