Gamers Think These PC and Console Titles Belong on Mobile

There have been several mobile game ports to PC and Consoles in the past. The most recent ones are Assassin's Creed and Resident Evil for iOS, and the upcoming Hitman: Absolution. Not all games, however, have a PC adaptation, and hence the debate heats up.

What are some of the great PC titles that should get a mobile release? Here in today's rankings, I will list down the PC/Console games that have a solid fan backing of being included in the top 10 mobile game ports rankings.

Top 10 Best Possible Mobile Game Ports

Are you a fan of bike racing games? If so, then make sure to check our rankings for the Best Bike Racing Games you can play right now.

10. Forza

Forza is the premium racing franchise that has gained many fans in recent years. Forza has been a prominent feature in the racing genre, and its success in recent releases shows. The vibrant, adrenaline-pumping gameplay of Forza will fit perfectly for mobile gamers and will definitely make it a success.

With the Real Racing 3 shutting down recently, a void is created that Forza can very easily fill. Forza had its presence as a mobile game earlier, as Forza Street, with the game being delisted from platforms and shutting down completely back in 2022. With Racing games being one of the most popular genres, mobile game ports of Forza could actually work wonders.

9. Halo

Halo has top-tier story and multiplayer modes, which saw this franchise make a name for itself. Despite having multiple first-person shooters for PC, Halo's fanbase remains loyal and strong.

Although the mobile FPS space is already crowded with titles like COD Mobile, Free Fire, PUBG Mobile, ranking among the Top 10 Best Mobile FPS Games, Halo still has the capacity to transfer its own audience to mobile. Surprisingly enough, there has never been a Halo on mobile, and we are due for a mobile-exclusive release for a long time.

8. Dishonoured

Bethesda's Dishonored has been one of the best stealth video games since its release. The game combines unique power-ups, and its striking premise drew millions. Having Dishonored for mobile will be hugely successful, given that this particular genre isn't widely explored for smartphones.

There was a Dishonored mobile title, however, Dishonored: Rat Assassin, available on iPhone, but delisted later. Given that the series is nearing its end on PC, earlier releases, if ported for mobile, will surely be adored by fans and players worldwide.

7. Splinter Cell

Again, a classic release from the glory days of Ubisoft. Splinter Cell needs no introduction. The game, once held as a benchmark for stealth games, hasn't seen a new AAA release for some time now. Given its unique stealth gameplay, Splinter Cell would fit perfectly for mobile gamers if it were ported to mobile.

Splinter Cell Conviction, a mobile title, was once released by Gameloft in the past. However, due to optimisation issues and poor reviews, the game was shut down quickly. Splinter Cell screams a good shot at mobile gaming, and hopefully, with the advancements in the mobile gaming industry, it will get its due mobile release soon.

6. Prototype

Prototype is an underrated game by Radical Entertainment. The game creates its own universe where a virus has turned half the city into zombies, and among all that, you try to bring order to chaos. Prototype is known for the coolest powers and overpowered features it equips you with.

Due to the rampage and chaos that the game has, along with its unique game world, Prototype will make one of the best mobile game ports if released. Given its success on PC, it's surprising that Prototype never had a mobile release. There is untapped potential for Prototype as a mobile title, and I am sure the fans will love it as well.

5. Far Cry

Far Cry is one of the best action open-world game franchises due to the chaotic gameplay it offers. It's a series loved by many, and almost all the releases have been a hit. First-person shooters in general do very well in the mobile gaming industry, and combined with the story and open world elements of Far Cry, it would definitely be a hit.

Far Cry had never been on mobile as an exclusive title, and we can only hope it will change soon, as the game certainly has the potential to become one of the best mobile game ports.

4. Sleeping Dogs

A gem of a title, Sleeping Dogs, is probably the most underrated game on the list. It takes you to Hong Kong and places you right between the Chinese Street gangs. From a story set in an interactive open world to great parkour gameplay, its one of the best fighting games out there.

Despite all of its uniqueness, Sleeping Dogs has never received any mobile release. Although there are rumours of a mobile edition coming soon, we can only hope as Sleeping Dogs would be a great addition to AAA games on mobile.

3. Fallout

Moving to our top three mobile game ports, Fallout is Bethesda's open-world apocalyptic sandbox survival RPG series. Being one of the most successful RPG series on the market, Fallout has had multiple sequels. The game's main constant concept features a wasteland from the remains of a nuclear war, imitating the post-apocalyptic setting very effectively while offering creative freedom.

Fallout Shelter, a vault management mobile title from the same franchise, is currently available. However, if you want the real Fallout wasteland experience on mobile, hopefully, Bethesda listens, as Fallout has the potential to be one of the best mobile game ports.

2. Baldur's Gate

Baldur's Gate deserves a place in any ranking. The series has always been a favourite among the RPG gamers, with a sequel now being announced as a Baldur's Gate TV Show for HBO. The game drew fans across genres to itself, with its engaging storyline and story-altering decisions.

Being a turn-based title, Baldur's Gate would fit well with the mobile gaming mechanics, with two mobile games released in 2012. Hence, there is a good chance that with the success of Baldur's Gate 3, it could transition to one of the best mobile game ports.

1. The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim

Skyrim is one such game that created headways for future RPGs and set the standards very high for later releases. The game, being a true sandbox at heart, featured huge explorative maps and unending adventures. Skyrim's environment is unparalleled and one of the best PC games out there.

Hence, a mobile adaptation of Skyrim is what we need, given the popularity of the game even 15 years later. There have been The Elder Scrolls mobile releases, but none delivered the experience of Skyrim. With Oblivion remastered version already out and Elder Scrolls 6 nowhere near a release, a mobile adaptation of Skyrim would treat us well.
