Gangster Mirage City enters soft launch in the Philippines

Gangster Mirage City has reportedly entered soft launch in the Philippines, and the phrase GTA-like open-world mobile game will always make ears rise like a cat hearing a snack bag. The game has not had the full official fireworks show yet, but AppMagic tracking points to early availability, which usually means the publisher is quietly measuring installs, retention and whether players immediately try to drive into everything.

Open-world crime games are tricky on mobile because ambition is cheap and optimisation is not. If Gangster Mirage City can deliver big-city freedom without turning phones into pocket heaters, it could become a serious one to watch.
