While details were sparse, Apple showed a few screens of the games on a virtual version of the iPhone 15 Pro during today’s event, stopping short of showing gameplay of these games running on the newly announced phones. It’s unclear what the gameplay experiences for these games will be like on the iPhone 15 Pro and Max; considering it’s already possible to connect a Bluetooth controller, like the PlayStation DualSense or Xbox Series X/S gamepad, to various Apple devices, it’s not a stretch to assume that’s the best way to play these games on this new device.
As for how these games run on the devices, that remains to be seen. Apple says both Resident Evil games and Death Stranding will be available on the phones later this year, while Assassin’s Creed Mirage hits the devices in the first half of 2024, according to IGN.
I haven’t had an iPhone since 3GS, but I am excited for this.
I don’t plan on getting an overpriced iPhone, or an IOS device at all for that matter, but console quality games, native on mobile is exciting.
