Is Wild West Pioneers on Android or iOS?

No. There is no phone or tablet version, and none has been announced. On Steam, GOG and Epic alike, Wild West Pioneers is a Windows PC game.

PlatformStatusWhy
PC (Windows) on SteamYesOn sale now in Early Access. It is Windows only; on a Linux desktop the publisher expects crashes for now.
Android and iOSNot announcedNothing announced for phones or tablets; it is a PC game.

How far is a phone from the PC minimum?

A long way. The minimum spec is a Windows 10 PC with 12 GB of memory and a desktop graphics card, and even that is pitched at 30 frames per second on low settings.

Minimum specWhat it asks for
SystemWindows 10, 64-bit
Memory12 GB RAM
GraphicsNVIDIA GTX 1060 6GB or AMD Radeon RX 590 8GB
Storage14 GB
Target30fps, Low Settings, 1080p

The full minimum and recommended lists are on the system requirements page.

Found a similar game in the app store?

Check who made it. Wild West Pioneers comes from EmpireCraft Studios, with Toplitz Productions as publisher, and neither has released it for phones. An app with a similar name and a different publisher is a different game.

Is streaming a way onto a phone?

Possibly, and it is the only one. NVIDIA’s weekly GeForce NOW list included the game as a new Steam release. Search for it in the GeForce NOW app before buying with that in mind. Remember there is no controller support either: on a phone that means steering a mouse-driven city builder with your thumbs on glass.

What would change the answer?

A Google Play or App Store page under Toplitz Productions’ name, or a post from Toplitz announcing one. Until either appears, the game is PC only. If you have a Windows PC, see where to buy it and what you get in Early Access.
