Next-gen mobile gaming: iPhone 15 Pro introduces ray tracing and AAA titles

At the Apple Wonderlust Event, Apple proudly introduced the iPhone 15 Pro as the torchbearer of the "next generation of mobile gaming." This groundbreaking device promises to revolutionize mobile gaming by offering support for console and PC games that were once deemed impossible on mobile hardware.

The iPhone 15 Pro boasts an impressive lineup of AAA games, including native adaptations of titles like Resident Evil 4 Remake, Resident Evil Village, Death Stranding, and Assassin's Creed Mirage. With significant performance enhancements and the inclusion of ray tracing technology, the iPhone promises an immersive gaming experience.

This announcement marks a significant milestone as Assassin's Creed Mirage becomes the first console/PC Assassin's Creed game to run natively on iOS, not relying on cloud streaming or a mobile-exclusive version. Gamers eagerly await performance benchmarks and battery life impacts, but the prospect of playing AAA games on a mobile device is undeniably enticing.

Resident Evil Village, Resident Evil 4, and Death Stranding are set to arrive on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max later this year, while Assassin's Creed Mirage will debut in the first half of 2024, slightly after other platforms.

Apple's commitment to gaming shines through with the iPhone 15 Pro's pro-class GPU, boasting a 20% speed boost and a cutting-edge 6-core design for peak performance and energy efficiency. The A17 Pro, a new addition, enables "next-level mobile gaming with fast, efficient performance and hardware-accelerated ray tracing."
