Pixel Cup Soccer Ultimate is a retro-style arcade soccer game that focuses on fast-paced, responsive gameplay. Forget the complex simulations; here you can jump straight into the action with intuitive controls that allow for spectacular shots, lobs, and sliding tackles. Choose from hundreds of national and club teams, or create your own in the deep Career Mode. Win tournaments, unlock new players, and experience the thrill of the stadium with charming pixel-art graphics and a pumping chiptune soundtrack. It's football the way it was meant to be played.

Our Expert Score

91/100

Pixel Cup Soccer Ultimate is a masterclass in 'pure fun' game design. In an era where most sports games are bogged down by complex controls and microtransaction-heavy team building, Pixel Cup returns to the glory days of the SNES and Arcade era. The controls are incredibly simple—just two buttons for passing and shooting—but the skill ceiling is surprisingly high due to the fluid player movement and the ability to apply 'aftertouch' to shots.

The presentation is flawless. The pixel art is vibrant and full of character, and the animations for bicycle kicks and sliding tackles are wonderfully exaggerated. The 'Ultimate' version adds a deep career mode where you take a team from the bottom of the rankings to the top of the world stage, managing everything from kit colors to player growth. It’s fast, it’s fair, and most importantly, it captures the electric atmosphere of a football match in a way that many realistic simulators fail to do. It is, quite simply, the best soccer game on mobile for people who actually like playing soccer.

Best Game of the 2020s
Sun Oct 13 2024 tyrannosaurus PEX

I kid you not I didn’t expect this level of quality for a game in this time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Most games now are thoughtless and lack detail but not this game… This game has layers and layers of customization and football jokes (like GPS for PSG). The game play is great and it’s a huge upgrade from Pixel Cup 16. And the fact that you can connect other controls to play locally is insane. 📶My only hope is for the devs to add online so I can play with other people who also enjoy this game. Outside of that this game is the best $5 I’ve invested in a game in years

Love love love

I’ve been playing this game for a few years now on a steam deck and I’ve been wanting to play this without hauling my big console. This is by far my favorite soccer game ever!! Please please please add online vs. that would complete me. I’ve been playing with my backbone pro and it has been the most fun I’ve had playing it. Love your game and I wish you nothing but the best.

BEST GAME

This is one of the best games I’ve EVER Played, this game is filled with excitement,rage and is PERFECT for a soccer fan, my experience with this game has been great.. SO FAR. I love how you can play as your favorite players as in Neymar,Modric and more I’ll hope to see future updates in which this game “gets better”..

Genuine buggy garbage

I saw it on TikTok thought it would be good. Got it, spent 5 dollars on it. The gameplay is convoluted and irritating, but does have its moments. The main thing that makes this game trash is its menus, 80-95% of the time the selection on the menu doesn’t work (i know you have to double tap and it’s not that), the important selections just refuse to work, can’t sub players on or off, can’t choose play match, and i know it’s not my phone because i can exit the game, choose ANY other app and it works. Wasted potential, complete scam.

The best soccer games on iOS！

With beautiful, informative graphics, easy to use, and smooth action, I really enjoyed this soccer game! It should be the best soccer game inside iOS! I hope the developers will keep it updated and add online matchmaking mode, it's a perfect game!

Comeback and update it

Dont let the game become boring keep adding customization options and more stuffs for us like more animations like when the get a hatrick. Its a good game but dont stop it from getting better

cool game
Sun Dec 08 2024 monkymasterr

well made game but sometimes the game feels overwhelming in game and it’s really complicated to understand how to make certain plays and tactics work it’s almost like the game makes it impossible also please explain how a overall 2 team has players that are able to dizzy my overall 73 team ?? and my team is unable to get past even 1 defender ! very odd but besides this great job from the devs

Good game but a lot of work to do
Wed Sep 10 2025 packgodlover67

Every single time the ball near my goal it won’t let me use my defenders, they just stand there being useless and it’s insanely annoying
