Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel is now available for download on all platforms

Konami has officially released Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel across all platforms, giving players access to a new free-to-play way to enjoy the popular card game in digital format.

Konami will use it as the core experience for both TCG and OCG so that players have a way to play the traditional formats using over 10,000 cards online.

Not only that, Konami will use Master Duel as an official contest for Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship series, which means the game will host competitive and casual events around the globe.
