You’ll be able to play Resident Evil 2 Remake on all iPhones newer than the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and iPhone 16. If your iPad or Mac has an M1 chip (or newer), you’ll be able to play it too. Since it’ll be on your Apple ID account, you’ll be able to play it on all devices. If you’re not sure about playing it on your iPhone or iPad, the beginning segment of the game will be available for free to test out.

When playing Resident Evil 2 Remake on the iPhone or iPad, you’ll use touch controls on the screen to control Leon, Claire, Ada, or Sherry. You can connect your Bluetooth controller as well, if you have one. For those who find it difficult to play on the touch screen, there are options to turn on automatic shooting.

Resident Evil 2 Remake came out in 2019 and is the remake of the 1998 game Resident Evil 2. Though it’s a sequel to the first one, you don’t need to play it to understand the story. The second game focuses on Leon and Claire’s experience in the Raccoon City zombie apocalypse, and only has brief mentions of the events of the first game. There are two protagonists to choose from, meaning two routes to take through the destroyed city. The remake was critically acclaimed and very popular. Not only did it outsell the original, it is the best-selling Resident Evil game.

Resident Evil 2 is available on the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X, and Xbox One. The iPhone, iPad, and Mac version of Resident Evil 2 Remake should come out on December 31, 2024.
