When you look around at the emulation scene, it won’t take long to notice that more ports and retro gaming is being done in your browser. Afterplay was one of the first, giving you the ability to play a lot of your favorite retro games without needing to download a single app.
This is great for convenience, as it’s not like the app is available on one platform, but isn’t available on another. And now, you have even more options if you prefer using Afterplay as your emulator of choice, as there are now official apps on both the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
In terms of emulation, Afterplay support almost 40 different systems, in addition to a “growing catalogue of games” available from indie developers. Best of all, after getting the app installed and your games loaded up, Cloud Sync keeps your progress stored, so you can pick up right from where you left off. And if you want even more features, Afterplay+ is also available for additional flexibility, all packed into a modern experience.

Earlier this year, we interviewed some of the team Afterplay team members after they launched the indie-focused storefront. If you want to get a better idea of what Afterplay is all about, and their thoughts on everything from working with indie developers to AI and “vibe-coding”, be sure to check out the interview.
While there are plenty of emulators out there, there aren’t quite as many “all-in-one” solutions. Afterplay is aiming to become a staple for many, and bringing dedicated apps to mobile platforms is a big step in the right direction. Take it for a spin and let us know what you think about it in the comments below.
