Capcom has officially brought the chilling survival horror experience of Resident Evil 3 to Apple devices. Now available on the App Store, the remake of the iconic 1999 title is playable on iPhone 15 Pro and all iPhone 16 models, as well as iPads and Macs equipped with the M1 chip or later. This marks another bold step in Capcom’s effort to make its critically acclaimed Resident Evil series accessible across multiple platforms, further expanding its footprint in mobile and Mac gaming.
Originally launched in 2020 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, Resident Evil 3 is a modern reimagining of the PlayStation classic that introduced gamers to Jill Valentine’s harrowing escape from a zombie-infested Raccoon City. The game puts players on edge with relentless action and atmospheric horror, as they are pursued by one of the franchise’s most terrifying antagonists, Nemesis. Now powered by Capcom’s proprietary RE ENGINE, the mobile and Mac versions of the game maintain the same high-fidelity graphics and intense gameplay as their console counterparts.
Capcom’s latest release isn’t just a simple port—it’s a thoughtfully optimized experience for Apple’s ecosystem. Players can download a free portion of the game to test it out before committing to the full version. Once purchased, the game becomes universally available across all compatible Apple devices under the same Apple ID. This allows users to seamlessly transfer progress between iPhone, iPad, and Mac, making it perfect for both at-home gaming and on-the-go sessions.
Touch controls have been fully customized for iPhone and iPad play, and Capcom has introduced a new Auto Fire feature. This option allows weapons to fire automatically after aiming at an enemy for a few seconds—ideal for players looking for a more casual mobile experience. However, for those seeking a console-quality feel, the game supports a wide range of external controllers. Whether using a Backbone One on an iPhone or a Bluetooth-enabled controller on Mac, gamers can enjoy a full-featured setup with precision input.
The game’s file size is significant—about 31GB—so users will need to free up ample space for installation. An active internet connection is also required to download and launch the title. To celebrate the launch, Capcom is currently offering the full version of the game at a 67% discount for a limited time, making it a great opportunity for both newcomers and series veterans to dive in.
This release makes Resident Evil 3 the fifth major Resident Evil title available on Apple devices, following the mobile and Mac versions of Resident Evil Village, Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil 7, and Resident Evil 2. With Apple continuing to invest in high-performance silicon and Capcom delivering top-tier titles, the future of triple-A gaming on mobile and Mac looks increasingly promising.
Capcom’s commitment to quality is evident in how the game performs across Apple’s hardware. Thanks to the power of the M1 chip and its successors, Resident Evil 3 runs smoothly on macOS, delivering console-level visuals and performance. On mobile, the game offers one of the most graphically impressive horror experiences ever made available natively on iPhone.
As the mobile gaming industry continues to evolve, Capcom’s move to bring full-featured console games to Apple’s ecosystem reflects a growing demand for high-quality, cross-platform gaming. Whether you’re at home on your Mac or catching a few intense minutes on your iPhone during a commute, Jill Valentine’s fight for survival is now closer than ever—literally at your fingertips.
