Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun Boom

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun Boom is a standalone mobile adaptation of the retro shooter Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun. Nitro Games brings the campaigns and the fast boomer shooter feel to smartphones, but does not use a simple 1:1 port. Controls, interface and individual game mechanics are specifically adapted for mobile devices.

Players once again take on the role of a Space Marine and fight their way through cultists, traitors and demons. At launch, the campaigns Graia and Forges of Corruption are included.

Boltgun Boom releases on Sep 23, 2026 for iOS and Android. Nitro Games confirmed the exact date a few days before launch in a developer interview. The German App Store page lists the same date for the iPhone version.

The download is free; the full game follows a free-to-try model with a one-time unlock. Nitro Games explicitly describes a premium approach with no ads or energy systems.

At launch there are two native mobile versions: iOS and Android. The iOS version is listed on the App Store under product ID 6767193770, and the Android version on Google Play Store under com.nitrogames.boltgunboom.

A PC or console version of Boltgun Boom has not been announced. There, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun remains the standalone original, while Boltgun Boom was developed specifically for smartphone controls.

Boltgun Boom remains a fast first-person shooter with retro visuals, high movement speed and heavy Warhammer weapons. Nitro Games names speed, intensity and the direct weapon impact as the core elements that should be kept on mobile.

To do this, touch controls, aiming and combat flow were specifically adjusted. According to Nitro Games, Auroch Digital was closely involved in the implementation and provided feedback, assets and support, so that the mobile version still feels like Boltgun despite its own control logic.

At launch, Boltgun Boom bundles content from Graia and Forges of Corruption. Nitro Games describes the mobile version as an adaptation with different chapters of the Boltgun series. Additional mobile DLCs or a separate season pass have not been announced so far.

For the iPhone version, Apple lists iOS 17.0 or later and a download size of around 3.4 GB. A native Google Play version has been announced for Android; Nitro Games does not currently publish minimum hardware specs on the official product overview.
