Apple is promoting its Iphone 15 Pro as a groundbreaking advancement in the realm of mobile gaming. The Cupertino tech giant is touting support for a variety of console and PC games that were previously inaccessible on mobile hardware.

One of the highlights of this announcement is the revelation that the iPhone 15 Pro will offer an impressive collection of AAA games, including specially optimized versions of acclaimed titles like Resident Evil 4 Remake, Resident Evil Village, Death Stranding, and Assassin’s Creed Mirage. Apple has also hinted at significant performance improvements, including the inclusion of ray tracing technology to enhance the gaming experience on the iPhone.

This development represents a significant milestone in the mobile gaming industry, as the release of Assassin’s Creed Mirage on the iPhone 15 Pro will mark the first instance of a console or PC-quality Assassin’s Creed game running natively on the iOS platform. It is important to note that this differs from cloud streaming or the upcoming mobile-only Assassin’s Creed game, as the full versions of these titles are expected to be available on the iPhone 15 Pro. The actual performance of these AAA games and their impact on the battery life of the iPhone 15 Pro are still unknown, but the prospect of enjoying modern AAA gaming on mobile hardware is undeniably fascinating.

Regarding release schedules, Resident Evil Village, Resident Evil 4, and Death Stranding are planned to arrive on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max later this year. Meanwhile, fans of Assassin’s Creed Mirage can anticipate the iOS version to launch in the first half of 2024. It’s worth mentioning that Assassin’s Creed Mirage is scheduled to debut on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, and PC on October 5, which means the iPhone release will be slightly delayed compared to its console and PC counterparts.

Apple’s claims regarding the hardware upgrades of the iPhone 15 Pro include a high-performance GPU that is allegedly 20 percent faster, featuring a 6-core design to enhance peak performance and energy efficiency. The company has also highlighted the new A17 Pro processor, which is said to enable “next-level mobile gaming with fast, efficient performance and hardware-accelerated ray tracing.”
