Apple revealed its latest phones, the iPhone 15 and 15 Pro, at today's Wanderlust event. While the phones' gaming prowess was a footnote compared to its other tech updates, the company also showed that the Pro version of the new phone is capable of running multiple triple-A games natively . Some of these games will launch on iPhone 15 Pro later this year and in 2024, including Resident Evil 4 Remake and Assassin's Creed Mirage.

Most of the details about the iPhone 15 Pro's gaming capabilities fell in the section about its chip, the A17 Pro. According to Sribalan Santhanam, vice president of Apple's Silicon Engineering Group, the new GPU offers hardware-accelerated ray tracing for smoother gameplay. During the presentation, the Apple team also noted that the iPhone 15 is also compatible with most modern controllers such as the PlayStation 5 DualSense.

Apple did not offer specific release dates for the games, but said during the presentation that Resident Evil 4 Remake would launch on the new phone later this year. According to its Apple Newsroom article, Resident Evil 4 Remake, Resident Evil Village, and Death Stranding will all launch natively on the iPhone 15 Pro later this year. AC Mirage will launch in 2024. This would be the first time that a console version of an Assassin's Creed game is available natively on mobile.

Other featured games running on the iPhone 15 Pro include The Division Resurgence, Honkai Star Rail, and Genshin Impact. Resurgence will launch on iPhone in early 2024, which is slightly behind its original release window of fall 2023.
