Warhammer 40,000: Freeblade is a rail shooter game for iOS and Android mobile devices, and Windows.[1][2] It is one of the first games to utilize Apple's 3D Touch[3][4]

Apple has used Freeblade to highlight the capabilities of its new devices, first showcasing the game during an iPhone 6S event in September 2015 as a demonstration of the phone's A9 chip performance.[3] During the demo of the iPhone 8 and iOS 11 at WWDC, Apple used the game to demonstrate the iOS 11's ARKit capabilities.[5][6] The game was also ported to a Windows 10 version.[7]
