Mobile Shooter Phoenix 2 Arrives on PC This Month

Fans of fast-paced, bullet-hell shooters have a reason to celebrate—Phoenix 2, the popular mobile shoot ’em up with over five million downloads, is making its way to PC. Indie developer Firi Games has announced that the game will launch in free-to-play Early Access on Steam starting February 14.

Originally released for iOS and Android, Phoenix 2 has built a loyal community over the years, boasting an impressive 4.7 out of 5 rating on the US iOS App Store from over 24,000 reviews. Now, PC players will finally get a chance to experience its intense space battles with the precision of a keyboard and mouse (or a controller, if they prefer).

A Shooter Built for Endless Challenge

If you’re unfamiliar with Phoenix 2, here’s what makes it stand out. The game puts players in control of sleek, high-tech ships, each with unique weapons and abilities, as they face off against relentless AI-driven enemies. The challenge escalates quickly, with procedurally generated levels ensuring no two runs feel the same. Every day brings a new mission, keeping the experience fresh for dedicated players looking to test their reflexes.

One of the defining features of Phoenix 2 is its massive selection of ships—over 100, each offering different playstyles. Some focus on heavy firepower, while others provide defensive capabilities or agile maneuverability. Finding the right ship for your preferred approach is key to surviving the game’s chaotic battles.

What to Expect from the PC Version

With the transition to PC, Phoenix 2 is expected to receive various optimizations to make the most of the platform. While details on graphical or control enhancements haven’t been fully revealed, the core gameplay remains the same—tight, skill-based combat with a steady stream of new challenges.

The game’s shift to PC Early Access also signals an opportunity for community input. Players can expect tweaks and updates as Firi Games gathers feedback to refine the experience. Considering its long-standing presence on mobile, Phoenix 2 already has a solid foundation, but the PC version may come with adjustments tailored to the platform’s strengths.

A Perfect Time to Jump In

With no upfront cost, Phoenix 2 offers an easy entry point for newcomers. Whether you’re a longtime fan of bullet-hell shooters or just looking for an adrenaline-pumping arcade experience, this is one to watch.
