EA’s Big New Mobile Game Is… Scrabble_ Again_
Published: October 12, 2025
EA Mobile plans to announce a slew of new games for the iPhone at their summit this morning; among them Tiger Woods, Need for Speed, Wolfenstein RPG and Star Trek.
But when I arrived at the EA Mobile hands-on session, the only rummy star game they had to show me was Scrabble. Which came out like a year ago. What gives?
Well — to EA Mobile, what’s important here is “delivering on the promise of mobile.” To do that, says VP Travis Boatman, rummy wealth a company has to have a great device to work with with a great operating system and a great merchandising-distribution platform.
“We’ve always believed in mobile,” said Boatman. “We’re in rummy win this for the long haul. And it’s not going to stop here.”
So when we got Scrabble on both Facebook and iPhone last year, that wasn’t the end of it for EA Mobile. With the release of the Apple 3.0 firmware for the iPhone, they’ve connected the two versions so you can play against up to four people cross-platform (well, cross iPhone/PC).
I have to admit, this is pretty slick. You can see the moves your PC-bound buddy makes without refreshing the screen on your iPhone and you can even carry on a chat in the chat box.
But as nifty as it is, it’s still not Wolfenstein RPG.
Look for the update to your Scrabble app sometime tomorrow or — if there’s some SNAFU on the Apple side — sometime over the next few days.

The bonuses are nice and offer great value, although they could be a bit more frequent. I love being part of the VIP program, which gives me extra rewards and makes me feel appreciated as a loyal player.
Some games are a bit laggy on my phone at times, but the variety of games and the smooth desktop experience make up for it. Overall, the website offers a great gaming experience for both casual and serious players.
I won a small jackpot yesterday and it was really exciting! The thrill of winning real money keeps me coming back. The website feels fair, and payouts are processed promptly, which makes me trust the platform even more.
