Resident Evil 4 Remake, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, and More Soon Headed to iPhone 15 Pro

gadgets.ndtv.com:

Apple unveiled its new iPhone 15 lineup at its Wonderlust event on Tuesday, announcing plans to bring some AAA console and PC games to the mobile platform. That is if you purchase an iPhone 15 Pro, which is powered by the cutting-edge six-core A17 Pro chipset that allows for the games to run natively on the device with ray-tracing enabled. Games like Resident Evil 4 remake, Resident Evil Village, Death Stranding, and the upcoming Assassin's Creed Mirage will be out on the iPhone 15 Pro later this year and into early 2024. The company has historically boasted about its mobile devices' gaming performance, but this would be the first time we ever actually get to see it in action.

This partly has to do with AAA game developers' reluctance to ship the titles on Apple's latest devices, which is understandable considering its hardware previously wasn't strong enough to run high-profile titles at decent framerates. Hideo Kojima was the first to embrace the company's new claims, announcing that his genre-defying package delivery game Death Stranding would be headed to macOS, later this year. At the time, we got to see some slightly laggy raw footage of the game utilising the Metal 3 graphics processing system, though there was no confirmation of a mobile port until now. AAA gaming on mobile previously relied on cloud-based technologies to stream PC and console games onto handheld devices, where the performance was heavily affected by varying internet speeds.

It's insane to think that the newly-released Resident Evil 4 remake will soon be playable on a mobile device, throwing us back into the ghoulish Spanish village to save the US President's daughter from the clutches of the Los Illuminados cult.
