Death Stranding, RE4 and more coming to iPhone 15 Pro

As mobile hardware has gotten more and more performant over the years, we have seen an increasing number of console games find their way onto iOS and Android platforms. Apple looks to be taking this one step further, announcing a suite of modern AAA console titles which are set to be natively playable on their latest and great iPhone 15 Pro.

Announced during the company’s recent ‘Wonderlust’ event, a number of new devices were shown off, including the Apple Watch Series 9; Apple Watch Ultra and of course the iPhone 15 series.

Unexpectedly, the smartphone manufacturer seems to be pushing into the gaming space in a rather aggressive manner, announcing that 4 current-gen AAA console titles are set to arrive on the higher-end iPhone 15 Pros:

• Resident Evil Village (later in 2023)
• Resident Evil 4 (later in 2023)
• Death Stranding (later in 2023)
• Assassin's Creed Mirage (early 2024)

As mentioned, in recent years we have seen a number of console games find their way onto mobile platforms, though typically they are ports of indie titles. That said, some rather chunky games are currently playable on mobile, including Genshin Impact and Fortnite.

Despite this, Apple’s latest announcement serves as the strongest indicator yet that over time we will see more and more AAA titles find their way onto mobile platforms. With these devices being so costly and offering high-resolution OLED panels, gaming on phones can offer a genuinely premium experience, and so it is encouraging to see Apple leading the way.

Hopefully it will only be a matter of time before all games are released across consoles, PC and mobile concurrently.
