Capcom confirmed that Resident Evil 7: Biohazard will be released on July 2 on the iPhone 15 Pro series and Apple silicon-powered iPads and Macs. Additionally, the developer confirmed that Resident Evil 2 Remake is headed to the same Apple products and is "currently in development."
Capcom further noted that the Resident Evil 7 port has enhanced controls, including a new Auto Fire feature that lets players auto fire a gun after aiming at enemies "for a set period of time."
As with the previous Resident Evil ports to Apple devices, touch controls will be available alongside Bluetooth controller support. Resident Evil 7 for Apple devices will be available for pre-order starting today. This version will include the additional content found in the Gold Edition, including the Not a Hero story expansion.
A Capcom spokesperson confirmed to IGN that both the Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil 2 Remake ports support Universal Purchase. This means if you buy the iPhone 15 Pro version, you will also have access to the ipad and Mac versions, too, so long as you have an M-chip iPad or Mac computer to run either game.
Resident Evil 7 was originally released in 2017 for PS4, PC, and Xbox One and would eventually be ported onto Nintendo Switch, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S in the United States in 2022.
