What Devices and OS Versions Support Beem Arcade?

Before you download the Beem app hoping to jump into Beem Arcade, it helps to know whether your specific phone and operating system version are actually supported. Since Beem Arcade lives inside the main Beem app rather than as a separate download, device and OS support for Beem Arcade is determined by whatever the core Beem app requires. Here is what that looks like for both iPhone and Android.

iPhone Requirements for Beem Arcade

According to the official Beem listing on the Apple App Store, the app requires iOS 15.1 or later to run. This requirement applies across the devices Apple lists as compatible, which include iPhone and iPod touch, both needing iOS 15.1 or later, and Apple Vision, which needs visionOS 1.0 or later.

It is worth noting that Apple’s listing also describes Beem as available “only for iPhone” at the top of the page, even though iPod touch is separately listed under compatibility. If you are trying to install Beem, and by extension Beem Arcade, on an iPod touch or an Apple Vision device, it is worth checking directly in the App Store on that specific device to confirm actual availability, since the listing itself is not fully consistent on this point.

There is no separate iPad-specific compatibility listed, so if you are specifically hoping to use Beem Arcade on an iPad, it is worth checking the App Store directly on that device before assuming it is supported.

Android Requirements for Beem Arcade

Beem is also available on Google Play for Android devices, listed under the package name associated with Line Financial, PBC, the app’s developer. As of the most recent update reflected in the Play Store listing, Beem has been downloaded more than 1 million times and carries a content rating of 3 plus.

The specific minimum Android OS version required is not something we could confirm directly from the Play Store listing at the time of writing. Android’s minimum OS requirement is typically listed in the “About this app” or “App info” section of a Play Store listing on a per-device basis, meaning the actual minimum can sometimes vary slightly depending on the phone you are using to check. The most reliable way to confirm compatibility with your specific Android device is to search for Beem directly in the Google Play Store from that device, where Google will tell you immediately whether your phone meets the requirements.

Why Device Requirements Matter for Beem Arcade Specifically

Beem Arcade is not a standalone app you download separately. It is a feature accessed through the main Beem app, which means any device or OS limitation on the core Beem app applies equally to Beem Arcade. If your device does not meet the minimum OS requirement for Beem itself, you will not be able to access Beem Arcade either, regardless of whether the games within Arcade might otherwise run fine on your phone.

This also means that as Beem updates its core app over time, minimum OS requirements can shift. An OS version that supported Beem previously may not always continue to be supported indefinitely, so it is worth checking current requirements periodically, especially if you are using an older device.

What to Do If Your Device Isn’t Supported

If your phone does not meet the current OS requirements for Beem, a few options are worth considering.

Update Your Device’s Operating System

If your phone is capable of running a newer OS version than what it currently has installed, updating to the latest available version for your device may resolve compatibility issues and allow you to install Beem and access Beem Arcade.

Check for a Newer Device

If your phone cannot be updated to a supported OS version, either because it is too old or because the manufacturer has stopped issuing updates for it, you may need a newer device to access Beem Arcade.

Confirm Directly Through the App Store or Play Store

Rather than relying on general compatibility information, the most accurate way to check whether your specific device supports Beem is to search for the app directly from that device in the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Both platforms will indicate immediately whether your device meets the current requirements before you attempt to download.

Keeping Your App Updated for the Best Beem Arcade Experience

Beyond meeting the minimum OS requirement, keeping the Beem app itself updated to its latest version is worth doing regularly. App updates often include bug fixes, performance improvements, and adjustments to features like Beem Arcade, so running an outdated version of the app, even on a supported OS, could mean missing improvements or running into issues that have already been resolved in a newer release.
