At Apple’s annual Wonderlust Fall event last month, the company revealed the iPhone 15 Pro and Pro Max’s gaming capabilities. Thanks to the powerful A17 Pro processor along with hardware-accelerated ray tracing, both smartphones can play AAA titles natively. The Cupertino-based tech giant aims to revolutionize mobile gaming and potentially take on the likes of handheld consoles. Now, the first big console-level AAA title has arrived on the iPhone 15 Pro variants as well as tablets powered by Apple silicon. Read on to know the details.

The first AAA title to be released for the latest-generation iPhone 15 Pro models is the Resident Evil Village. It is a survival horror franchise with Capcom as the company behind the title. The download size of the game weighs approximately 16GB, however, the free trial seems to be just 1.4GB. It is available on the App Store. Interested players can try it for free and unlock the full game which can be purchased at a 60 percent discounted price until November 20.
The regular pricing of the Resident Evil Village is $39.99 whereas the Winter’s Expansion DLC costs $19.99. With the discount, the pricing comes down to $15.99 and $9.99 respectively. There is also an all-access voucher DLC that costs $4.99. Along with the iPhone 15 Pro models, the game is also released on iPad Air and iPad Pro tablets powered by M1 chip and later.
As per Capcom, Resident Evil Village supports touch controls as well as a standalone game controller and HDR. The game also has cross-progression on iPad OS and iOS. Additionally, the devices are also capable of outputting video at up to 4K, 60Hz to a DisplayPort-compatible external TV or monitor.
Capcom is also gearing up for the release of Resident Evil 4 Remake. Village is the first game to harness the A17 Pro’s power. Even if you’re not a gaming enthusiast, it seems worth checking out the free trial as many more AAA titles are expected to arrive on the iPhone 15 Pro models in the coming months.
