Same issue here with iPhone 15 pro, over 10% battery drain within 20 minutes of playing time. With a battery health of 95%. iOS 18.1.1
Same issue as everyone else. The game is eating the battery and heating the phone a lot. iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 18.1.1.
same on my iphone 13 pro. And the app keeps trying to download a remaining 100Mb update, that doesn't seem to work, but doesn't state it fails either. Deleted that app 3 times and re-downloaded from the store, no difference

Me too - IPhone 16 plus
Same here. iOS, hopefully there's enough staff left to push a hotfix before holidays!

After updating to iOS 18.2, it's normal for your iPhone 15 Plus to experience temporary overheating and battery drain due to background processes like indexing and app updates. This should stabilize within a day or two. Make sure all apps are updated, check battery usage in settings, and restart your phone. If it continues, contact Apple Support. I recently bought a Bosch battery and noticed it came with a new Bosch battery sticker from , confirming it was a genuine product—something to keep in mind if battery replacement becomes necessary.
