2020’s Resident Evil 3 remake has launched for all iPhone 15, iPhone 16, iPad, and Mac devices with an M1 chip or later. It also features an Auto Fire option, which automatically fires your weapon after aiming at a foe for a short period. Check out its launch trailer below. 

Resident Evil 3 follows in the footsteps of fellow remakes in Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4, as well as Resident Evil 7 and Village, in launching for Apple’s platforms. Those four titles, meanwhile, are currently available at a 75 percent discounted price. 

Resident Evil 3 is also available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC. It has sold over 9.6 million units worldwide. Read our review of the game through here.

Recent months have seen Resident Evil 4’s remake, Resident Evil Village, Death Stranding, and Assassin’s Creed Mirage all releasing for iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, as well as iPad devices with an M1 chip or later, though none of these games have seen decent sales.

As per the aforementioned report, Assassin’s Creed Mirage has been downloaded by iOS users roughly 123,000 times. All of games are, however, free to download, and allow access to a small portion for no cost, after which players have the option to pay full price to access the full game. As per estimates, Assassin’s Creed Mirage has seen roughly $138,000 in revenue on iOS to date, which, with a price of $49.99, would suggest that the game has sold less than 3,000 copies on the platform.

Similarly, Resident Evil 4 has seen about 357,000 downloads and $208,000 in revenue. With a price tag of $29.99, that would suggest the game has sold under 7,000 copies. Resident Evil Village, meanwhile, is estimated to have sold under 6,000 copies, with about 370,000 downloads and $92,000 in revenue. Finally, there’s Death Stranding, which has seen even more minimal sales, based on an estimated 10,600 downloads and $212,000 in revenue thus far.

Clearly, the first wave of AAA titles on iOS devices have failed to make any kind of an impact. What that will mean for future releases remains to be seen.

The publisher’s consolidated financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2023 noted that the title, which launched in March 2023, was supported by “ongoing promotional measures including free title updates for PlayStation VR2.”

It also had “proactive promotional campaigns to gain wide recognition for its intellectual property and acquire new fans, focusing primarily on series title sales, such as Resident Evil 2.” Thanks to Resident Evil 4 remake’s success, Capcom achieved 26.7 million sales for its catalog titles, up from 22 million in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year.

Resident Evil 4 remake launched for PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. Check out our review – we awarded it a 10 out of 10 for its quality. It would later arrive for Mac, iPhone 15 Pro and iPad last December. Along with free updates like The Mercenaries and the VR mode, Capcom released Separate Ways, a side-story from the original game, as paid DLC. Check out our review for it here.

Death Stranding Director’s Cut is is a universal purchase for iPhone 15 Max and iPhone 15 Pro Max. It also runs on iPad and Mac devices with an M1 Apple Silicon or later, and an iPhone 15 with an A17 Pro. Features include touchscreen controls, support for “most controllers” like the PS5’s DualSense, and save data shared between all three platforms.

For more details on the PS5 version of the Director’s Cut, check out our review here. As for Death Stranding 2, it’s allegedly getting a new trailer and an official title – Death Stranding 2: On the Beach – soon. Stay tuned for a potential announcement at State of Play at 2 PM PT on January 31st.

Originally slated for release in 2023, publisher 505 Games had announced a delay into 2024 for Death Stranding on Apple’s devices, stating that it needed a little more time to develop the port before it can be released in early 2024.

Death Stranding Director’s Cut on iPhone, iPad, and Mac was announced alongside other titles, which included Assassin’s Creed Mirage, as well as Resident Evil Village and Resident Evil 4. Capcom’s titles have been released on the devices as of December, with Resident Evil 4 and its Separate Ways DLC being the latest release. Resident Evil Village was released on Apple’s hardware back in October.

Kojima Productions is currently working on other titles, including a new horror game titled OD, as well as a sequel to Death Stranding.

505 Games announced the delay in a recent Twitter post, saying, “Here at 505 Games and Kojima Productions, we are excited to launch Death Stranding Director’s Cut on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. We just need a little more time! Stay tuned for a new release date in early 2024.”

Recently, Kojima Productions announced that it had partnered with A24 (Everything Everywhere All at Once, Uncut Gems, The Whale) for its previously announced Death Stranding movie.

Death Stranding is available on PS5, PS4, and PC. It has been played by over 16 million players across all platforms.

Here at @505_Games and @KojiPro2015_EN, we are excited to launch #DeathStrandingDC on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. We just need a little more time!

Stay tuned for a new release date in early 2024.

For players that might want to try the game out before making the full purchase, Resident Evil 4 is also available as a free download that acts as a demo, and players can then purchase the full version of the game to continue their progress.

Along with the base game of Resident Evil 4, the remake’s expansion, Separate Ways, is also available on iPhone 15 Pro, and supported iPads and Macs. The Apple release of Resident Evil 4 follows a similar release of Resident Evil Village on Apple devices back in October.

Resident Evil 4 has been quite successful for Capcom, with the company stating its intentions of making more remakes of classic games from the horror franchise. Going by the recent release cadence of the series, however, we’ll likely see a new mainline Resident Evil title released before a new remake.

Unlike previous titles where Eggman relied on technology, he has The Reverie, which can turn dreams into reality. As a result, players have to venture into his dreams and ultimately stop him. The gameplay resembles more of a 3D action platformer, compared to the recent Sonic Superstars, with different movement types depending on the character.

Sonic Dream Team launches on December 5th and will be playable on iOS, iPad, Mac and Apple TV. Sega hasn’t announced plans to release it on other platforms, though it could happen eventually. Stay tuned for more updates in the meantime.

Capcom has announced that Resident Evil 4, as well as its Separate Ways expansion, will both launch for iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPad, and Mac on December 20. Where iPad and Mac are concerned, it will only be available on devices with the M1 chip or later.

Pre-orders for the acclaimed remake are available now, while Capcom has confirmed that a demo will also launch ahead of the full game’s release. Previously, it was confirmed that the game will be available at full price.

Resident Evil 4 is currently available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, and PC. It has sold 5.45 million units worldwide.
