Set against the backdrop of the decaying Atlantic Wall in Nazi-occupied France, “Sniper Elite 5” is set to make its debut on iPhone, iPad, and Mac in early 2026. Players will once again step into the shoes of elite marksman Karl Fairburne, who will aid the French Resistance in undermining the Atlantikwall fortifications along Brittany’s coast during World War II in 1944.
This third-person tactical shooter emphasizes stealth and features detailed maps inspired by real-world locations. The game’s enhanced traversal system encourages players to explore their environments more thoroughly than previous installments.
A standout feature is the acclaimed “X-ray Kill Camera,” offering a unique internal view of enemies as they are hit, adding a dramatic flair to the gameplay. Originally released in 2022 for Windows, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, “Sniper Elite 5” received positive reviews, particularly for its sniping mechanics that players found engaging and realistic.
While specific system requirements for the upcoming iOS and macOS versions have yet to be confirmed, it’s expected they will be similar to those needed for “Sniper Elite 4.” For Mac users, this likely means a machine equipped with an M1 chip or newer, running macOS Ventura or later.
Additionally, it’s anticipated that the game will be available exclusively on the App Store, excluding access via Steam for Mac users. For iPad gamers, it is likely that devices will need to support iPadOS 17 or later, equipped with either an M-series or A17 Pro chip.
Meanwhile, iPhone players will probably require iOS 17 or later, with compatible devices including the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 16, and iPhone 16 Pro series, along with the forthcoming iPhone 17 lineup.
