Capcom, the Japanese video game powerhouse behind iconic horror franchises, announced that the Resident Evil 4 remake will reach Apple devices, extending the game to iPhone and iPad audiences. The confirmation appeared on Capcom’s official site, signaling a broader strategy to bring the acclaimed remake to mobile hardware alongside console and PC releases.
Compared with the 2005 original, the remake enriches the experience with contemporary visuals, newly introduced characters, and refreshed gameplay systems. Players can expect enhanced item crafting, resource-based ammo mechanics, and streamlined combat that leverage modern touchscreen controls and performance optimizations.
On iPhone 15 Pro models, the title benefits from hardware-accelerated ray tracing enabled by Apple’s A17 chip, delivering sharper lighting, reflections, and environmental details. The game is also compatible with other Apple devices powered by M1-class or newer processors, ensuring a broad mobile footprint for fans on iOS.
The Resident Evil 4 remake initially launched on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC in March 2023. It earned widespread critical acclaim and strong fan reception, earning a high placement on Metacritic and securing a top-tier score that reflected both technical prowess and engaging gameplay.
Earlier conversations around the remake highlighted its popularity within online communities, with notable mentions of how it resonated across diverse gaming forums and viewer communities, including discourse among Russian-language gaming networks at the time. These discussions underscored the enduring appeal of the title beyond traditional markets and platforms.
