If you’re lucky enough to receive an iPhone 15 Pro, iPad, or M3-powered MacBook Pro as a gift this holiday season, you’ll soon have the opportunity to play one of the year’s biggest games on your new device. Capcom has announced that the highly anticipated Resident Evil 4 remake will be available on iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPads, and Macs powered by an M1 or later chipset starting on December 20. Additionally, the Separate Ways expansion will also be available on the same day.
This remake of the 2005 survival horror classic will feature Universal Purchase support, allowing you to buy it once and play it across iPhone, iPad, and Mac devices. The game will also support cross-progression, allowing you to seamlessly transition from one device to another. Whether you’re playing on your iMac or lounging on the couch with your iPhone or iPad, you’ll be able to pick up right where you left off.
If you’re unsure whether Resident Evil 4 will run smoothly on your device, you can try a portion of the game for free before making a purchase. This will also give you the chance to test out the touch controls on iPhone and iPad, although the game does offer controller support as well. On Mac, you’ll have the option to play using a keyboard and mouse if that’s your preferred method.
Apple has been making a concerted effort to bring high-profile games to their devices. In addition to Resident Evil 4, the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and Apple Silicon-powered iPads also have access to other popular titles such as Resident Evil Village. The expansion of gaming offerings has been further exemplified by the upcoming release of 2022 hit Stray coming to Mac in December, as well as the forthcoming availability of Assassin’s Creed Mirage and Death Stranding on Apple devices in the near future.
With the growing library of games becoming available on Apple devices, the company is positioning itself as a competitive player in the gaming market. This move is not only beneficial for users who enjoy gaming on the go, but also for those who prefer the convenience of playing on different devices without losing their progress. As technology continues to advance, the boundaries between traditional gaming platforms and mobile devices continue to blur, and Apple’s push to offer high-quality gaming experiences on their products is a testament to their commitment to providing versatile and enjoyable entertainment options for their customers.
