iPhone 15 Pro Adding Resident Evil 4 Remake, Assassin’s Creed Mirage, and More in 2024
Apple says its iPhone 15 Pro represents the “next generation of mobile gaming”, with support for console and PC games previously unavailable on mobile hardware.
Revealed at today’s Apple Wonderlust Event, iPhone 15 Pro is getting a lineup of AAA games, including native versions of Resident Evil 4 Remake, Resident Evil Village, Death Stranding, and Assassin’s Creed Mirage. Apple also teased huge performance upgrades and ray tracing for gaming on iPhone.
This represents a huge milestone for mobile gaming, as Assassin’s Creed Mirage’s release on iPhone 15 Pro will mark the first time that a console/PC Assassin’s Creed game will run natively on iOS. Not to be confused with cloud streaming or the upcoming mobile-only Assassin’s Creed game, it appears the full version of Assassin’s Creed Mirage and these other titles will be available on iPhone 15 Pro. We’ll have to wait and see how well these games perform, and how AAA gaming impacts iPhone 15 Pro’s battery life, but the idea of playing modern AAA games on mobile hardware is fascinating.
As for release timing, Resident Evil Village, Resident Evil 4, and Death Stranding are coming to iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max later this year, while Assassin’s Creed Mirage is coming in the first half of 2024. Assassin’s Creed Mirage is set to hit PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC on October 5, meaning the iPhone version is coming a bit later than the console and PC release.
Apple says the pro-class GPU is 20 percent faster, featuring a 6-core design with better peak performance and energy efficiency. Apple says its new A17 Pro enables, “next-level mobile gaming with fast, efficient performance and hardware-accelerated ray tracing.”
