Resident Evil 4 Remake Will Cost at Least $60 to Play on iPhone 15 Pro

pcmag.com:

Resident Evil 4 fans expected to pay around $60 for the remake on platforms like Steam and PS5, but it turns out you'll be shelling out that much (or more) if you buy it on mobile, too.

As IGN reports, full pricing info for the game, which is expected to launch later this year, is listed in the “In-App Purchases” section of the product page. The base game will cost $60 while upgrading to the Deluxe Edition will set you back another $20. The game also features several in-app purchases that allow players to obtain weapon upgrade tickets to use in the game.

The App Store listing says: “A limited part of the base game can be played for free. In order to play the full game, an in-app purchase is required.”

You'll also need Apple's top-of-the-line devices. System requirements for iPhone are iOS 17 or later and a device with the A17 Pro chip, which means an iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max. On iPad, you'll need iPadOS 17 and a tablet with an M1 chip, while Macs need at least macOS Ventura and an M1 chip.

The game does support universal purchase, so if you buy it on the App Store for your iPhone, it will be playable on the iPad and Mac.

Although it’s not a requirement to play the game, the App Store does suggest that a controller, like the Backbone One may be used “for the best experience." If you don’t have a controller, this will increase the overall price of playing on your iPhone.

While many gamers might think paying up to $80 for a mobile game is too much, Capcom President Haruhiro Tsujimoto has suggested that game prices are still too low due to increased development costs, despite costs increasing following the release of the Xbox Series X/S and PS5, Nikkei reports (via Kotaku).
