Best Modded Games You Can Sideload on iPhone
Mobile gaming is dominated by in-app purchases, energy timers, and paywalls that lock the best content behind real money. Modded games flip this entirely — they give you unlimited in-game currency, unlocked characters, max level progression, and premium content without spending a dollar. With Scarlet iOS, you can install modded game IPA files directly on your iPhone without jailbreaking.
What Are Modded Games?
Modded games (also called hacked games or cheated games) are modified versions of official App Store games. Developers extract the original IPA, modify the game’s code or resources to change values like currency amounts, unlock states, and progression gates, then repackage and sign the result. When installed, these changes are present from the first launch.
Common modifications include:
- Unlimited coins, gems, gold, or whatever the primary currency is
- All characters, skins, and cosmetics unlocked
- All levels and chapters accessible from the start
- No energy timers or waiting periods
- Premium content unlocked without payment
- God mode or unlimited health in certain games
- Ads removed from casual games
Best Modded Games Available in 2026
Clash of Clans MOD
Clash of Clans is one of the most popular strategy games on iOS, and its modded version is one of the most widely downloaded game IPAs. The mod gives you unlimited gems (the premium currency), instant building and troop training, all heroes unlocked, and max-level buildings from the start. Note that this version runs on private servers rather than Supercell’s official servers, so your progress is separate from your official account. The private servers are community-maintained and generally stable.
Subway Surfers MOD
Subway Surfers MOD unlocks all characters, hoverboards, and power-up upgrades from the start. It also provides unlimited keys for revival and unlimited coins for power-up activation. If you enjoy the core endless runner gameplay but hate grinding for unlocks, this mod makes the game significantly more enjoyable.
Candy Crush MOD
The Candy Crush modded IPA removes the notorious life timer system entirely, giving you unlimited lives. It also unlocks all boosters and provides unlimited moves — though some players prefer keeping the moves limitation for the challenge. All episodes and levels are accessible immediately. This is particularly useful for casual players who got stuck on a difficult level and do not want to spend money on boosters.
Geometry Dash Unlocked
Geometry Dash’s modded version unlocks all levels, all icons and colors, all ships and balls, and removes the vault locks. If you paid for the full game but lost your purchase when switching devices, this is especially useful. The mod also includes practice mode enhancements and some level editors unlocked.
Among Us MOD
The Among Us modded IPA unlocks all cosmetics including hats, pets, visors, and nameplates without the real-money purchases. It connects to the normal Among Us servers so you can play with friends as usual — the modifications are purely cosmetic. This is one of the safest mods to use since it does not affect gameplay balance.
Stardew Valley Cheats
Stardew Valley’s modded version gives you unlimited gold, infinite energy, and all items available in inventory. The single-player focused nature of Stardew Valley makes this a particularly low-risk mod — you are only affecting your own playthrough. It is ideal for players who want to experience the story content and farm building without the grinding aspects.
Pokémon GO Tweaked
Tweaked Pokémon GO is one of the most in-demand modded games. Features vary by version but typically include joystick control for GPS spoofing (play from your couch), auto-walk, and enhanced radar for finding rare Pokémon. Be aware that Niantic bans accounts aggressively for GPS spoofing — use a secondary account to protect your main progress.
Minecraft Unlocked
The modded Minecraft IPA for iOS unlocks the paid premium content including all Marketplace packs, character creator items, and the full game without the initial purchase cost. It also sometimes includes pre-loaded resource packs and behavior packs that would otherwise require Marketplace purchases.
How to Find and Install Modded Games with Scarlet iOS
- Open Scarlet iOS on your iPhone
- Tap the Games or Search tab
- Browse categories or search for a specific game title
- Tap the game to view mod details — read what is included in this version
- Tap Install. Scarlet signs the IPA and installs it on your device
- Trust the certificate in Settings > General > VPN & Device Management
- Launch the game — mods are active from the first load
You can also add third-party game repos to Scarlet for even more titles. Community repos often maintain larger libraries of modded games with more frequent updates.
Important Considerations for Online Games
For games with online multiplayer, you need to be careful. Using mods in competitive online environments can result in account bans. Here are the key rules to follow:
- Use a secondary account for any modded game that connects to official servers
- Prefer offline mods when possible — games like Stardew Valley, Geometry Dash, and single-player campaigns carry zero ban risk
- Private servers are safe — Clash of Clans mods on private servers cannot affect your official account
- Cosmetic-only mods are lower risk than gameplay-affecting mods in multiplayer settings
Keeping Modded Games Updated
When official games update on the App Store, the modded version may stop working or behave incorrectly because the mod patches no longer match the updated code. Do not update modded games through the App Store — wait for the repo maintainer to release an updated modded IPA, then reinstall through Scarlet. Check your repos regularly for updates.
