According to Apple, the iPhone 15 Pro represents the “next generation of mobile gaming” thanks to its A17 Pro chipset, which features a pro-class GPU that’s 20 per cent faster, has a 6-core design with better peak performance and hardware-accelerated ray tracing. This marks the first time a console/PC version of the game will run natively on iOS.

While we will have to wait and see how well these games run on the new chipset, the idea that the iPhone 15 Pro can run console-quality games natively is intriguing and hints that Apple might take gaming seriously for its iOS and macOS platforms.

Which upcoming games utilize the iPhone 15 Pro with a Ray Tracing GPU

As for the release timing for the games, Resident Evil Village, Resident Evil 4, and Death Stranding are coming to iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max later this year, with Assassin’s Creed Mirage leaping across sometime in the first half of 2024. Assassin’s Creed Mirage is set to release on October 5 for the PC, Xbox, and PlayStation platforms.

These games will not appear for the regular iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus or older iPhones on the App Store, so don’t be surprised if you don’t see them,

Along with the new chipset, the iPhone 15 Pro series features a new titanium design, a new Action Button that replaces the Alert Slider, a telephoto lens with 5x zoom, and a USB-C port for charging and transferring data.
