Hearthstone for Android is now available in the U.S. after rolling out in Australia, Canada and New Zealand yesterday. Currently, Hearthstone for Android only works on tablets, but if you take some time to search on the Internet, you’ll find solutions for getting it to run on your phone. Also, there’s a restriction that Hearthstone for Android will only work on displays six inches and larger, but there’s also a clever workaround for that floating around.
As an added bonus for the launch, completing your first game on an Android tablet will reward you with a free pack of Classic cards. Blizzard also shared the minimum requirements for having the optimal experience:
- 6-inch screen or larger
- Android 4.0 or later
- 1 GB RAM
