Resident Evil Village, Death Stranding, and the Assassin's Creed Mirage will be out on the iPhone 15 Pro later this year and into early 2024. The company has historically boasted about its mobile devices' gaming performance, but this would be the first time we ever actually get to see it in action.

This partly has to do with AAA game developers' reluctance to ship the titles on Apple's latest devices, which is understandable considering its hardware previously wasn't strong enough to run high-profile titles at decent framerates. macOS, later this year. At the time, we got to see some slightly laggy raw footage of the game utilising the Metal 3 graphics processing system, though there was no confirmation of a mobile port until now. AAA gaming on mobile previously relied on cloud-based technologies to stream PC and console games onto handheld devices, where the performance was heavily affected by varying internet speeds.

Resident Evil 4 Remake Review

It's insane to think that the newly-released back-to-basics approach that's focused on crafty stealth assassinations, rather than the open-world RPG affair the franchise veered into in the last few years.

Another Android in autumn/ fall 2023.

While all this sounds cool, I find it hard to imagine anyone would be willing to pay AAA prices to play these games on a tiny screen. Not to mention, having to deal with the translucent on-screen buttons that would take up the left-hand side for a movement analogue stick and the right for action buttons. Sure, some of this can be mitigated by connecting the iPhone 15 Pro to a detachable mobile controller via USB-C — Backbone's Android controller, for instance — though I really hope that the games come with an option to disable touch-screen controls. Then there's also the battery and heat management factor. There's so much we still don't know.

Apple's latest iPhone 15 series goes on sale on September 22, but there are no concrete release dates for the games coming to iOS.
