Assassin’s Creed Mirage and recent Resident Evil games are coming to the new iPhone 15 Pro
Apple has announced plans to bring several high-profile console and PC games to one of its upcoming iPhone models.
The iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro were announced during an Apple event on Tuesday, which can be rewatched below.
Capcom’s Resident Evil 4 remake and Resident Evil Village will be released for the Pro device later this year.
Assassin’s Creed Mirage, which will be released for PC and consoles next month, is headed to iPhone 15 Pro in “early 2024”, as is fellow Ubisoft game The Division Resurgence.
“iPhone 15 Pro gets a major performance upgrade from the A17 Pro chip,” Apple claimed. “With a new 6-core GPU and a faster Neural Engine, it becomes a ridiculously powerful mobile gaming machine, enabling higher-quality graphics and rich, immersive game worlds never seen before on a smartphone.”
Sribalan Santhanam, VP of Apple’s silicon engineering group, said: “We’ve added brand new features to the GPU, like mesh shading, which lets games create detailed environments while drawing less power. And for the first time, we have hardware-accelerated ray tracing, featuring the fastest ray-tracing performance in any smartphone.”
Apple’s SVP of marketing, Greg Joswiak, also said: “This new level of performance will enable new games for iPhone 15 Pro that were previously only available on game consoles, PCs, or the Mac.”
He added: “This is the first time the console version of Assassin’s Creed will be natively available on a smartphone.”
