smartphone games<\/a> would waver between ad-ridden mobile titles, indie ports, or perhaps vintage classics, and a cloud-streaming future. But, Apple\u2019s announcement that it was bringing AAA titles like Resident Evil Village and the next Assassin\u2019s Creed to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/apple-iphone-15-release-date-specs-price-rumors-3255350\/\">iPhone 15 Pro<\/a> and M1-powered iPads had me cautiously optimistic. The realist in me expected the games to be watered-down mobile ports in the same vein as Final Fantasy XV Pocket Edition \u2014 not a bad game, but far from a console-class title. Well, now I\u2019ve had the chance to try one on my iPhone 15 Pro Max and\u2026 boy, was I wrong.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"--___d --___X\">\n<p>Resident Evil Village is now available for both the iPhone 15 Pro and for iPads powered by Apple\u2019s M1 and M2 chipsets. Having played through the demo version of the title twice, I can confirm that Apple\u2019s claims were legit. In fact, Resident Evil Village on the iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max is quite literally the full-blown console and PC version of the title, and it\u2019s glorious.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div

src=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Resident-Evil-Village-running-on-an-iPhone.jpg\"\/><\/picture>\n<div class=\"--___Vo --___Xn\">\n<p>Dhruv Bhutani \/ Android Authority<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"--___d --___X\">\n<p>Let\u2019s get the basics out of the way first. Capcom\u2019s optimization of Resident Evil Village for the iPhone stands out as even more impressive than the sheer ability to run the game on your phone. It\u2019s clear that a lot of care has gone into the title, and it\u2019s more than a simple port. And it all starts with the file size. Compared to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/sony-ps5-1094322\/\">PlayStation 5<\/a> copy of the game, the iPhone version of Resident Evil Village clocks in at about 13GB for the entire game and 7GB for the demo. That\u2019s almost half the size of the PlayStation 5\u2019s version \u2014 an essential factor considering the limited storage capacities and non-expandability of phone storage (on iPhone, at least).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"--___d --___X\">\n<p>It doesn\u2019t end there. Capcom didn\u2019t port over the title from the lowest common platform like the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One. Instead, Village borrows liberally from the PlayStation 5 version of the game. It\u2019s the ultra-quick load times that sell the modern console experience, and Capcom has implemented the same in the iPhone version (though exclusively on the iPhone 15 Pro\/Pro Max) of Resident Evil Village. Similarly, in terms of graphics, it\u2019s clear that the iPhone version is more PlayStation 4 Pro than the OG. It\u2019s an impressive feat considering the game made my old PlayStation 4 chug.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><q>Resident Evil Village on the iPhone 15 Pro is a legit console title ported over to a smartphone. <\/q><\/p>\n<div class=\"--___d --___X\">\n<p>Despite being a horror movie fan, I\u2019m just not built for horror games, and my gameplay experience has been restricted to just the demo. But that\u2019s been enough to get a taste of what the game offers. Taking on the Lycans in the village in the early hour of the game, the game holds its own with a level of detail I\u2019ve never seen before on a native mobile game. In-game items like dressers have actual detail instead of being a brown slab indicating a piece of furniture. The HDR support makes the in-house setting in the early moments of the game look eerily realistic. Lighting behaves in natural ways, and so do shadows. With my headphones on and virtual surround sound flicked on, I felt a genuine sense of dread while walking through the snow in the dark.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"--___d --___X\">\n<p>The game supports <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/phone-refresh-rate-90hz-120hz-1086643\/\">variable refresh rates<\/a> all the way to 120Hz, but I found locking it to 30Hz yielded a more consistent result with the graphics settings cranked up. I\u2019ve noticed the occasional skipped frame, but it\u2019s not been detrimental to the experience. You could be fooled into thinking that the entire experience was being streamed from the cloud, except it isn\u2019t. It\u2019s running right there on your phone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\"--___e\">\n<div class=\"--___Wn\" style=\"max-width:1200px\"><picture class=\"--___vg\"

management. However, diving into the settings, the game\u2019s console and PC origins become very obvious. Switching up even a few of the many toggles available can make Resident Evil Village on the iPhone look even better. The game lets you customize everything from screen space reflections to the quality of volumetric and shadow lighting. You can even bump up the resolution of the game \u2014 a very important bit that we\u2019ll return to in a minute.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><q>Resident Evil Village pushes the iPhone 15 Pro&#8217;s limited 8GB of RAM to the limit. <\/q><\/p>\n<div class=\"--___d --___X\">\n<p>A live counter at the bottom shows exactly how much of an effect the toggle will have on in-game graphics. Meanwhile, a real-time RAM counter displays the amount of RAM a particular setting will take up. Toggle everything on, and you come dangerously low to exhausting the iPhone 15 Pro Max\u2019s 8GB of RAM. Unless I\u2019m mistaken, Resident Evil Village on the iPhone might be the first title that offers this level of graphics customization. That said, if there was ever a reason for Apple to match up the Android competition\u2019s generous doling out of RAM, it\u2019s this.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><h2>Bringing the big-screen experience to a

Authority<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"--___d --___X\">\n<p>Despite being a technical marvel, Resident Evil Village has one huge issue. A title like this was never designed to be played with touchscreen controls. The on-screen controls work in a jiffy and are plenty responsive, but I wouldn\u2019t want to play through the entire title while blocking the visual spectacle with my thumbs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"--___d --___X\">\n<p>The best way to play the game is very clearly with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/best-bluetooth-gaming-controllers-403184\/\">gamepad<\/a> paired with the iPhone. The game practically begs you to do so with several in-game buttons featuring a controller layout. I paired up my PlayStation 5\u2019s DualSense controller with the iPhone, and the game automatically mapped all the controls. Playing the game with a controller elevates the experience dramatically, and you get a real sense of immersion despite the iPhone 15 Pro Max\u2019s relatively small display.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><q>Resident Evil on the iPhone is a console-class experience when connected to a large-screen TV and controller. <\/q><\/p>\n<div class=\"--___d --___X\">\n<p>But here\u2019s where it gets even better. It looks absolutely stunning when connected to a monitor or television over USB-C. In fact, with options for display boundary adjustment and optimizing the audio for TV output, it\u2019s evident that playing the game on a larger screen was a thoughtfully considered gameplay scenario instead of being a byproduct of the iPhone\u2019s new-found video-out capabilities. I went about my second play-through of the demo with the iPhone connected to my 43-inch monitor and a Dual Sense controller. Barring the rare niggle like notifications or calls blocking the screen and a singular force close, the result was convincing enough that if you told me that I\u2019d been playing the game on a PlayStation 4, I would\u2019ve absolutely believed you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\"--___e\">\n<div class=\"--___Wn\" style=\"max-width:1200px\"><picture

Despite the iPhone 15 Pro being a brand-new phone, the game is already pushing the limits of the phone\u2019s memory. Additionally, the iPhone burns through battery life with the graphics turned up, and, on average, I lost about 10% charge over a fifteen-minute session. There\u2019s also the question of heat. Yes, the phone gets noticeably hot to the touch, and I could feel the heat radiating through my iPhone\u2019s case within a few minutes of gameplay. The phone fared slightly better when I turned down the screen brightness and played over USB-C. I imagine the phone would automatically throttle when it gets too hot, but I absolutely wouldn\u2019t want to risk a fire hazard by playing the game outdoors on a hot summer day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"--___d --___X\">\n<h2>Resident Evil Village on iPhone 15 Pro: A strong start<\/h2>\n<p>Despite the valid concerns around battery life and heat, Resident Evil Village is much more than a tech demo. It\u2019s proof that the hardware is almost there to bring full-fledged AAA experiences to your pocket, more so then we\u2019ve ever seen on Android. If the upcoming trifecta of Death Stranding, Assassin\u2019s Creed Mirage, and The Division Resurgence have a similar level of polish, Apple\u2019s mobile hardware would finally inch towards establishing itself as a valid choice for gamers on the go looking for full-fat AAA titles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"--___d --___X\">\n<p>It won\u2019t replace a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/which-steam-deck-should-i-get-3338181\/\">Steam Deck<\/a>, and it certainly won\u2019t be able to compete with Nintendo\u2019s incredible in-house IP for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/nintendo-switch-console-1135683\/\">Switch<\/a>, but it doesn\u2019t necessarily have to. The iPhone could easily be an option for the occasional gamer wanting a high-end experience but doesn\u2019t want to invest in dedicated gaming hardware.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"--___d --___X\">\n<p>However, a handful of games don\u2019t make a platform, and I\u2019m curious about Apple\u2019s plans for courting developers beyond Capcom, Ubisoft, and Kojima Productions. Until then, I\u2019m looking forward to my date with Lady Dimitrescu.
