How to access mobile games in soft launch

As you know, new mobile games are often released in several stages. This is known as a soft launch: before being available in your country, the game is first released in a certain part of the world. For those of you in a hurry, who don't want to wait for the game to arrive on your stores, we have the solution. Here's how to access mobile games in soft launch on Android and iOS, using a VPN!

Enjoy iOS and Android mobile games in soft launch with a VPN

Using a VPN (virtual private network) is the only way to access Android and iOS mobile games stores in other countries. For example, if the mobile games in soft launch you are waiting for are available in China or France, the VPN will allow you to simulate a connection in one of these countries. You can then download the game on your smartphone as if you were a Chinese or French user.

Games pre-registered on PLay Store

In other words, there's no need to wait for the mobile game you're interested in to be released in your region! Initially, the VPN was not designed for this use (it is in fact a service dedicated to security). But it's proving to be a great tool for impatient gamers!

How to access mobile games in soft launch with a VPN?

  • If you're playing on Android: start by setting the connection country from your VPN application. Then download the APK of the game you're interested in from a reliable site. This will allow you to bypass the official Android store. Another solution is to change the connection country of your Play Store account. Note that this can only be done once a year. We therefore advise you to have a dedicated Play Store account for mobile games in soft launch!
  • If you play on iOS: once again, choose your connection country on your VPN application, then change the connection country on your App Store account.

Obviously, the connection country you choose must be the same on your VPN app and on your Play Store or App Store account!

VPN on smartphone: how does it work?

VPNs on smartphones work in exactly the same way as VPNs on PCs. It is a software capable of encrypting your data, so as to protect it, particularly when you are using a public network. Other users, especially the unwary, won't be able to access it.

Your data passes through tunnels of sorts, via remote servers located in other countries to make your data anonymous. Thanks to this principle, you can simulate your connection from another location, and thus access the blinds in the chosen country. So using remote servers is the perfect way to enjoy iOS or Android mobile games in soft launch with ease!

 

Using a VPN for mobile games soft launches

More generally, VPNs help you get around restrictions. So you'll be able to enjoy content that you can't access in your region. As we said, this could be new mobile games in soft launch on Play Store and App Store, but also the catalogues of streaming services, for example.

Many VPNs are available on the market. While they don't all offer the same variety of services and features, they all work on the same principle as we've just explained. Choose the one that's right for you, so you can try out all the mobile games in soft launch that catch your eye!
