    Hmmm, I updated my device from 7.0.3 to the most recent one, and these issues, which didn't happen before, started plaguing me as well. That's why I just hate updates. I guess I'll be bothering 2k as well, though I wouldn't get my hopes up.

    It just struck me that XCOM: EU and EW are to my knowledge the most notable examples of products which have been reduced in content to worm their way past the 4 GB cap (even though this hardly affects the experience for me)...

    ...but that with the new asset slicing and ODR technologies in iOS 9, it could be possible for Firaxis to squeeze quite a few additional maps into the app (iMore reports that space savings can exceed 50%, with asset slicing alone accounting for 20-40%). And, hey, perhaps our sour soldiers can finally start vocalizing their desires and concerns without hissing through gritted teeth and pursed lips ;)

    I've no idea if adding free content to a year old game could be made even a minor priority at Firaxis/2K. But even if there is no chance for another abandoned fishing village in which to cap extraterrestial fools, this might bode well for an eventual XCOM 2 iOS release.

    From what I've read in this thread, they've still to fix issues of broken/glitched sounds due to iOS8, so I can't see them upgrading the app to iOS9. Maybe XCOM 2, but not XCOM: EU/EW...

    The devs have stated time and time again that it will be PC only. At best, you can hope that it is successful enough that they farm out a port to Aspyr or someone in the future.

    Can't you read? It mentions that it will be time exclusive to PC and then it will be released to other formats like MAC (OS X) and Linux. Even the official trailer in the end has the logo of mac and linux.

    And maybe it will be released to game consoles. We are not sure but I bet it will be sooner or later.

    This is a top notch pc game, that is as great on my ipad as it's on the pc.
    Playing this on the bus, while everyone is banging their heads at candy crunch, worth every penny :D

    Never played Xcom but I love TBS games like FFT, agarest war, blazing souls, etc. so I am about to hit the buy button so hard, but I don't know if it works on iOS 9 since Apple LOVES to break games. So is this working on iOS 9.1? If so, buying it.

    Check Based Xatu's post 2-3 posts on top of yours. He says that aside from a few sound hiccups, it works well on iOS 9.

    This game is incredible on my Pro 12.9. I thought it was great on my iphone but it is tough to go back and play it on there now after playing it on the big screen. Absolutely fantastic.

    Hopefully someday Xcom 2 gets released on ios.

    I'm with you too! Too pity that xcom 2 is so demanding in graphics and has low performance.. You need to have a good computer to fully enjoy it ...
