A guide to every feature About now opens with How to use Play IRL — a walkthrough of the board, commander damage, the turn timer, themes, sharing and accounts, with screenshots of each.

About says what the app is A line under the wordmark: free, works signed out, and signing in is only for carrying your history between devices. Tapping the wordmark now opens playirl.gg.

Your history follows you between devices Games sync on their own — when one ends, when the app comes back to the foreground, and whenever you open your history on any device. There is no button to remember to press.

A game in progress is backed up too A game that is still running is snapshotted to your account, so a phone that dies mid-table does not take the evening with it.

100 iconic lands A new pool of classic land art going back to Alpha, sitting alongside the spell art in the Gallery theme. Choose Mixed, Spells or Lands in the theme picker.

A shared board asks before it starts Opening a link to a board no longer drops you straight into someone else's game — it tells you what it is and waits for you.

A longer history Saved games are bounded by how much room they take rather than a flat count of 50, so a normal history keeps far more of your games — and an account keeps more still.

Games remember the device A saved game now records which phone or tablet it was played on, which is what makes a shared history readable when three people are adding to it.

The remote cannot drive a covered board With the board covered, a Bluetooth remote no longer passes the turn behind the cover.

A paused game drains Pausing now fades the board's colour and animates into the paused state, so a table glanced at from across the room reads as stopped.

The clock sounds like a clock Passing the turn makes a chess-clock clack, on every theme, and the tile taking the clock flashes as it arrives.

The remote button is the turn badge Remote control now lives with the turn timer settings rather than off on its own, and the turn clock's dependent settings nest under it.

A Done button in every player menu It turns blue as soon as you change something, so there is never a question of whether a change took.

Sound and haptics A sweep across the app, so the same action feels the same wherever you do it.

Elimination buttons on tablets Fixed, along with a focus ring the remote could leave behind on a tile.
