Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Death Stranding, and two Resident Evil games are coming to the iPhone 15 Pro, but is it a threat to game consoles?
It’s hard to overstate how powerful smartphones have become — particularly the latest iPhone models — in recent years. Case in point, at its big event this week, Apple revealed that multiple console games will be released on the iPhone 15 Pro in the coming months. Later this year, you will be able to download and play Death Stranding, Resident Evil Village, and Resident Evil 4 on your phone. Then, early next year, Ubisoft is bringing the upcoming Assassin’s Creed Mirage to the App Store. Is Apple about to kill video game consoles?
As exciting as this development is, I’m pretty sure that the teams at Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox don’t have anything to worry about. Apple has had many opportunities to take on the top game publishers and console makers. Every time, the company declines.
Backing up a bit, the arrival of four modern triple-A titles on iOS is genuinely surprising because Apple has never quite committed to mobile gaming.
