Is The Bazaar on mobile?
Not yet. Tempo aimed for the end of October 2026, and the app still isn't in the stores. Here is what it will cost, how to play it on your phone today, and what to play while you wait.
No, not yet. The Bazaar mobile app is not in the App Store or on Google Play as of November 10, 2026. On October 15, Tempo announced it was aiming for "a simultaneous iOS and Android launch by the end of October", pending app-store approval. That date has passed, Tempo hasn't given a new one, and its November 4 patch notes don't mention mobile. Android players can try Tempo's own beta meanwhile.
We're a small team making an auto battler for phones, so we're waiting for this one too. Below is what the phone version will cost, the two official ways to play The Bazaar on a phone today, and five games like it that are already on iPhone and Android.
When does The Bazaar come out on iPhone and Android?
Tempo hasn't said. Its announcement put iPhone and Android on the same day, once both stores approve the app, and store review is the one step a studio can't schedule. Since then Tempo has kept patching the PC game. The next sign will be the store listings themselves, or a new post on Steam or X. We'll update this page the day the app appears.
The Bazaar is made by Tempo, the studio led by Andrey "Reynad" Yanyuk, a former Hearthstone pro and streamer who first announced the game in 2018. It came out on Steam for Windows and macOS on August 13, 2025. You pick a hero and travel day by day, buying items and arranging them on a board, and each item fires on its own cooldown in fights against monsters and against other players' saved boards. A run aims for ten wins before your Prestige runs out. The game is in English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Turkish and Thai.
Is The Bazaar free on mobile?
The app will be. Free accounts can play one hero, Vanessa, and one purchase unlocks the full game. Tempo calls it "Buy It Anywhere, Own It Everywhere": you link your Tempo account, and the copy you bought works on Steam, iPhone and Android alike. If you already own The Bazaar, you pay nothing more. For new players, the announcement lists $29.99 through Steam.
The same change ends hero add-ons. Today on Steam, the base game is $19.99 and extra heroes are sold separately. From the mobile launch, every paid copy includes every hero, copies people already own included, and players who bought heroes separately get exclusive animated skins for them.
How to play The Bazaar on your phone today
On Android: Tempo's beta. Since October 15, Tempo has offered a beta .apk, linked from its announcement, that you install by hand. It signs in to your usual account and plays on the live servers, against the usual opponents and with your collection. Tempo itself gives two warnings: the beta doesn't have every hero unlocked, and real-money purchases in it are real. There's no iPhone beta.
On iPhone, iPad or Android: Steam Link. Valve's free app for iPhone and iPad and Android streams the game from your own Windows PC or Mac running Steam. The game runs on the computer, and your phone shows the screen and sends your taps. You need the game on your Steam account, the computer switched on and a good connection. The Bazaar suits it, since fights play out on their own and nothing depends on split-second timing. It's the same way people play Slay the Spire 2 on mobile for now.
Search for The Bazaar on mobile and you'll also find APK mirror sites offering the game for free. Tempo doesn't run them, and we wouldn't sign in to our own account through a file from a stranger. The only official .apk is the one in Tempo's announcement.

Our game
Path of Orren
- Free, coming soon to iPhone and Android
- Join the waitlist
Full disclosure: this one is ours, so it isn't ranked with the others. Path of Orren is the game our small team is making, a free dark-fantasy party roguelike for iPhone, iPad and Android. Where The Bazaar builds one hero's board of items, Orren builds a party: you choose which heroes join, where each one stands and what each one carries, then lead them down a road of fights, forges, treasures and strange events. The battles play out on their own, and the choices you make between them decide who makes it to the end. Finish a run and your survivors become a company that meets other players' companies in the Arena. No ads. It isn't out yet: join the waitlist to play it first.
1Backpack Battles
- iPhone
- Android
- $9.99, no ads
- PC: $14.99
The closest thing to The Bazaar on a phone. The board is a grid-shaped backpack: you buy items and fit them in, and where each one sits decides which items boost each other. Fights play out on their own against other players' saved backpacks, and a run is ten wins before five losses. $9.99 on iPhone and Android, with no in-app purchases.
2Super Auto Pets
Buy pets from a small shop, merge copies and line up five of them against another player's saved team. Turns take seconds, so it fits a short break, and the strategy goes deeper than the cute art suggests. The base game is free and complete. Optional pet packs add other pets to play with, not stronger ones.
3Hearthstone Battlegrounds
Before The Bazaar, Reynad was known for Hearthstone, and Battlegrounds is its auto battler mode. Each of eight players picks a hero with its own power, buys minions from a tavern and turns copies into golden versions. It's free inside the Hearthstone app, with one warning: the paid Battlegrounds season pass gives you more heroes to choose from at the start of each game, and many players call that pay-to-win.
4TFT: Teamfight Tactics
Riot's auto battler is the biggest of the eight-player kind. Buy champions from a shared shop, combine copies into stronger ones and stack trait bonuses on a hex board. A new set of champions and traits arrives every few months, so it never stays solved for long. Free on iPhone and Android, and the shop sells cosmetics.
5Batomon Showdown
- iPhone
- Android
- $5.99, no ads
- PC: $14.99
A creature-collecting auto battler where items count as much as in The Bazaar, but for a whole team: pick a trainer, build a team of monsters with items and trinkets, and take on other players' saved teams. It came out on Android in September 2026 and on iPhone in October, for $5.99 on both stores.
For phone games beyond auto battlers, see our list of the best mobile strategy games. We'll update this page as soon as The Bazaar reaches the App Store and Google Play.
