• New sale estimate suggests that under 2,000 iPhone gamers have bought Resident Evil 7 from Apples App Store.
• In recent keynotes, Apple has been showcasing the hardware and software features that theoretically make its platforms great for gaming.

From introducing Game Mode on macOS Sonoma and iOS 18 to highlighting its chipsets gaming capabilities during keynotes — Apple has been trying too hard to make serious gaming on its platforms a thing. While its latest devices may indeed be capable of running AAA games reliably, serious gamers are seemingly uninterested in doing so. A recent sale estimate reveals that under 2,000 iOS users have purchased Resident Evil 7 from the App Store.

Resident Evil 7 launched on iOS as an exclusive mobile port two weeks ago. The game runs on the latest iPhone 15 Pro models, in addition to M-powered iPads and Macs. While anyone can download it from the App Store for free, a one-time, $20 in-app purchase (IAP) is required to unlock the base game.
