What's New in Hosted Games

3.2.6

June 6, 2026

3.2.6: • Fixed a crashing bug when receiving a push notification. New in v3: • Purchases now automatically restore (when you’re logged in). • Check out the newly improved Troubleshooting section in Settings. • Fixed a bug where cheats (and other places where stats change on the stats screen) weren’t working. • Performance improvements. • Search for authors and game series. • We now hide the clock and battery (the “status bar”). You can go to the Settings tab and enable “Show clock and battery,” if you like. • “Top Rated” now sorts by average rating. (On the Store tab, we filter out games with fewer than 25 ratings.) If you enjoy “Hosted Games,” please leave us a written review! It really helps.

Glitching text input

I love this app, but I wanted to let you guys know that I'm running into a big. I'm trying to play The Soul Stone War, and whenever it wants me to input text, the game freezes. It's keeping me from playing the game entirely.

Disgusting piece of trash company

Hosted games disgust on a level that I cannot express here. Hopefully they go bankrupt. I hope.

The grim and I

I’m not sure if this is where I should go for technical difficulties, but I can’t seem to get a hold of this one. I am on my sister’s account and she purchased this one, but I can’t seem to play it because they won’t let me restore purchases on the rare occasions it does let me restore purchases. It says that this one is not purchased. But I know she purchased it because she played it all the way to completion it usually makes me wait for a long time before I can restore purchases, but it usually gives them to me eventually, but not this one

Great stories but the ad system is annoying

I’ve noticed that for a lot of games, the amount of times where you’ll have to leave for 20 minutes and then watch an ad to continue is ridiculous. For example, the “Life of a Mercenary” game has several moments where you’ll need to wait, then watch an ad, and then only a few screens later the same thing happens. It’s very frustrating.
