TokyPhone
TokyPhone is the in-world handheld interface every player carries. It bundles every functional Tokyube app — utilities, social, entertainment, mini-games — into a single launcher you can pull up at any time without leaving the game. This page documents every app, its keyboard shortcuts, and (where supported) its Xbox / PlayStation gamepad controls.
Overview
The TokyPhone interface is a 3D phone that floats in front of the player when summoned. Apps are arranged on a grid; tap or click to launch. Every app runs full-screen inside the phone's frame and can be backed out of without affecting your in-world position.
Apps fall into three buckets:
- Utilities — Notes, Calculator, Calendar, Alarm, Settings, Gallery, Camera, Weather.
- Connected — Messages, Friends, Calls, Music, Browser, Shop, Wallet, TokyubeSocial, TV Control, Debug, TokyNodes.
- Mini-games — GoPeepGo, Cube Ninja, TokyRoad, Fish!
