When it comes to defining genres, few would dispute that *Game of Thrones* has become the epitome of dark medieval fantasy for modern audiences. Since the conclusion of the HBO series, the world of Westeros has been relatively quiet, save for the spin-off *House of the Dragon*. However, fans have something new to look forward to on the gaming front.

Netmarble's eagerly awaited game, *Game of Thrones: Kingsroad*, is set to enter early access on March 26th. There's a catch though—for now, it's exclusively launching on Steam, leaving mobile gamers out of the initial loop. This move marks a significant shift for Netmarble, a company traditionally known for its focus on mobile gaming. The choice of a Steam launch for such a high-profile title like *Game of Thrones* is intriguing and could be seen as a strategic move to capitalize on the broad appeal of the franchise.

The decision to launch on Steam first might be a way for Netmarble to stress test the game, as PC players are known for their critical feedback on gameplay and performance. While this approach may leave mobile players, who are often more forgiving, waiting longer, it follows a trend seen with other games like *Once Human* and *Delta Force*, where PC launches took precedence.

This could indicate a broader shift among mobile-focused companies towards prioritizing PC releases. Whether this trend continues remains to be seen, but for now, mobile enthusiasts will need to exercise patience.
