Doctor Who Infinity was an episodic match-three puzzle video game developed by Tiny Rebel Games and Seed Studio and published by Tiny Rebel Games following the success of its predecessor, Doctor Who: Legacy. It was released for Android, iOS, PC, and Mac. The game was formatted in episodes and each episode was penned and directed by a different individual.

Unlike Legacy, voice acting formed part of the story and a variety of actors from the television series reprised their roles, including Michelle Gomez and Katy Manning. Additionally, Infinity was not free to play.

Infinity had a soft release with the first three stories in late 2018 and then had the full release with a further two stories in November 2019.

According to one account, the Master had the appearance of Roger Delgado while on Gallifrey. According to another, he had Anthony Ainley's likeness. According to another one, the one with James Dreyfus's appearance was the incarnation who ran away from Gallifrey.

Divided Loyalties, A Brief History of Time Lords and The Legions of Death feature, or otherwise acknowledge, the War Chief, but in the process contradicted the notion put forward by other stories that he was an incarnation of the Master.

One account suggests that the incarnation portrayed by Roger Delgado may be the same as the one portrayed by Peter Pratt while some others distinguish them.

According to one account, the incarnation portrayed by Gordon Tipple is the one portrayed by Anthony Ainley, while some others state that the Ainley one was already lost by then.

While fighting to extend his life at the end of his regeneration cycle, many bodies were possessed by the Beevers incarnation, but all kept somehow reverting to his real being until he finally regenerated into the MacQueen one. Hence, these sections cannot be strictly chronological
