Resident Evil 4 Remake will cost £57.99 on mobile
Resident Evil 4 Remake is heading to mobile, but it'll cost players £57.99 to play in full.
The game's listing on the App Store has the game available for free but with in-app purchases. Scrolling down, those purchases are listed in full with «Resident Evil 4 (with bonus)» priced at £57.99.

Other in-app purchases include an «Extra DLC Pack» — presumably the Separate Ways mission — for £15.99, as well as a number of weapon upgrade tickets priced from £2.49 to £7.99.

Resident Evil 4 will join Resident Evil Village on mobile devices. That game will release on 30th October and will similarly allow for a free download with in-app purchases — it's ¥4990 in Japan, around £27.
It's also worth noting the price of hardware — an iPhone 15 Pro will cost £999, or £1199 for the Max version. That's practically double the cost of a PS5 or Xbox Series X/S console.
The price announcement also comes in the wake of Capcom president and chief operating officer Haruhiro Tsujimoto recently stating he feels game prices are too low.
«Development costs now are about 100 times more than they were during the Famicom era, but software prices haven't gone up to that extent,» he said. «There's also a need to raise wages in
