What makes a great mobile open world
A map worth exploring, controls that work on glass, and performance that does not drain your battery in an hour.
How we tested
Every game was played for at least ten hours on two phones, with notes on loading times, controller support and storage size.
Before you download
Most of these games need 4 GB or more of free space. Check your storage and install from official stores only.
