Your iphone can play AAA titles on the go

Apple’s A17 Bionic made it possible to play AAA titles like Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Resident Evil Village and Death Stranding on your mobile phone

Apple's latest pro chipset, the A17 Bionic, boasts impressive graphical capabilities, but there's a caveat when it comes to AAA gaming. While the chip is powerful enough to handle demanding titles, the iPhone and iPad aren't traditionally known for AAA gaming experiences.

There are a few reasons for this. One is the lack of AAA games optimised for iOS. Most AAA titles are developed for consoles and PC, and porting them to mobile can be a challenge. Additionally, the touch screen controls aren't ideal for complex games.

However, there are a growing number of AAA games available on iOS, including some that have been specifically optimised for the A17 Bionic. These games offer stunning visuals and immersive gameplay, but they may not be on par with the console and PC versions.

Here are a few examples of AAA games that are available on iOS:

Resident Evil Village

Resident Evil Village is a 2021 survival horror game, the sequel to Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. You play as Ethan Winters, who after a horrific incident is trying to live a peaceful life with his wife. However, things take a turn for the worse when Chris Redfield attacks their home and kidnaps Ethan's daughter.

The game finds Ethan in a mysterious village filled with dangerous creatures and strange characters.  It combines elements of past Resident Evil games, with resource management and exploration alongside a more action-oriented approach with intense combat.

Assassin's Creed Mirage

Assassin's Creed Mirage is an action-adventure game released in October 2023. It's the thirteenth instalment in the Assassin's Creed series.

You play as Basim, a street thief haunted by visions, who seeks answers and revenge. He joins the Hidden Ones, a mysterious ancient organization, and trains to become a Master Assassin.

The game takes place in 9th century Baghdad, offering a bustling open world to explore.

If you're looking for a classic Assassin's Creed experience with a new story and setting, Mirage might be a good fit for you.

Resident Evil 4 Remastered

Resident Evil 4 Remastered is a 2023 survival horror game that reimagines the classic 2005 title.

In this game you play as Leon S. Kennedy, a US agent on a mission to rescue the president's daughter, Ashley Graham, from a sinister cult called Los Illuminados. The remake promises an updated plot alongside the familiar core narrative.

It retains the over-the-shoulder shooting perspective from the original, but incorporates elements from the recent Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes. Expect a more tense atmosphere, puzzles to solve, and inventory management.

The remake boasts a complete graphical overhaul, offering a more detailed and horrifying experience compared to the original. Character designs and environments are reworked as well.

So, if you crave a nostalgic return to a beloved classic with a modern twist, Resident Evil 4 Remake might be a good pick.

Death Stranding

Death Stranding is an action-adventure game with a unique twist. Set in a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by a supernatural event, you play as Sam Bridges, a courier tasked with reconnecting isolated cities.

It's an open-world game where you navigate challenging terrain, manage cargo deliveries, and avoid dangerous creatures.

Death Stranding is known for its intriguing story, beautiful world, and unconventional gameplay. It's not for everyone, but it offers a truly unique gaming experience.

It's important to keep in mind that these games can be quite demanding on your device's battery life. So, if you're looking for the best possible AAA gaming experience, you're still better off with a console or PC. But if you're looking for a taste of AAA gaming on the go, the iPhone and iPad with the A17 Bionic chip are starting to become viable options.
