iPhone port of Resident Evil 4 Remake now available to pre-order

It's free but, in another, more accurate, way...it costs money.

We already know that Resident Evil Village is coming to Apple products this Halloween, so we’re just waiting for a release date for Resident Evil 4. The recent remake is getting an iPhone/iPad port at some point this year, and you can pre-order it right now.

If you head over to Apple App Store, there is a release date that says RE4 is coming to the aforementioned mobile devices by December 31. However, this is just a placeholder, but we are expecting it to launch before the end of 2023.

Resident Evil 4 will be compatible with the iPhone 15 Max and Max Pro, as well as a number of iPad Air and iPad Pro models that feature the M1 chip.

So how much will it cost?

If you want to get the remake on any of the above devices, the App Store does list it as free. However, don’t be deceived. There is a note on the site that says only a “limited part of the base game can be played for free.” You will have to pay to unlock the full game. Essentially, it’s sounds like it’ll be free if you just want a demo of the game.

According to screenshots from VGC, the game will set you back Ā£57.99 if you’re in the UK. For US gamers, a report from Touch Arcade says it’ll cost $59.99. You can also get the DLC, but of course that’ll require additional money.

With Separate Ways coming out recently, Resident Evil 4 is getting another look in. Will it be just as good on iPhone and iPad as it is on PC and console? Only time will tell.
