iOS ports of RE4, Death Stranding and more have reportedly underperformed

Apple took a big swing with their iPhone 15 series of phones, introducing a renewed focus on gaming with the announcement of iOS ports for a number of major AAA titles. Despite heavy hitters such as Resident Evil 4 Remake, Death Stranding and more being added to iOS, the initiative has so far underperformed.

As reported by mobilegamer.biz, in using calculations from the publications AppFigures and AppMagic, it appears as though all of the major console games which have been ported to iOS have been less-than-stellar sales-wise, with the estimates being as follows:

• Assassin’s Creed Mirage: 3000-5750 copies sold
• Resident Evil 4: 7000-15000 copies sold
• Resident Evil Village: 5750-34000 copies sold
• Death Stranding: 10600-23000 copies sold

Of course, as mentioned these games are only available to play on the iPhone 15 series alongside some select high-end iPads, and so expectations should have been kept in check.

Still, it seems so far as though these iOS ports serve more as a showpiece for what Apple’s devices are capable of – more so than being used as actual console replacements. It’ll be interesting to see how the games perform in the long term.
