War Thunder Mobile (formerly known as War Thunder Edge [1]) is a game produced by Gajin Entertainment and publicly released on August 15, 2023. It was produced as the mobile format of the game War Thunder. [2][3]
The game consists of three modes, similar to the original: Ground, Air, and Naval. With vehicles ranging from the Second World War to contemporary vehicles. Similar to the main game, there is a tech tree system, having to unlock one vehicle to unlock the next one. Players are able to create a line-up on the Aviation and Ground modes, managing to mix different nations between different types of vehicles. Currently (as of October 2025), there is not any way to mix different modes of gameplay, but you are able to spawn bombers and fighters depending on your score in the battle. War Thunder Mobile features ground vehicles from the USA, USSR, and Germany; ships from the USA, UK, Germany, USSR, and Japan; and planes from the USA, Germany, Japan, and USSR.
Trophies
A gacha system to unlock vehicles for the 3 modes is updated per month with the updates.[4] If a player missed the reward for former updates, another gacha to unlock former rewards runs for 7 days,[5] after the end of the leaderboard.
