Following the release of Resident Evil 2 for Apple devices last December, Capcom has now released Resident Evil 3 on the App Store for iPhone, iPad, and Mac. This means that fans of the popular game can now play it on the latest Apple devices.
Resident Evil 3 comes to iOS and macOS
Resident Evil 3 was first released for Windows, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One in 2020, and then updated to take advantage of the latest generation consoles in 2022. Now Capcom has also ported the game to iOS and macOS as part of the company’s efforts to bring more game titles to the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. It’s worth noting that the game is a remake of Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, released in 1999.
Here’s how Capcom describes the game:
A series of strange disappearances have been occurring in the American Midwest within a place called Racoon City. A specialist squad of the police force known as S.T.A.R.S. has been investigating the case, and have determined that the pharmaceutical company Umbrella and their biological weapon, the T-Virus, are behind the incidents—though they’ve lost several members in the process. Jill Valentine and the other surviving S.T.A.R.S. members try to make this truth known, but find that the police department itself is under Umbrella’s sway and their reports are rejected out of hand.
However, soon reports of a grisly “cannibal virus” begin to surface, and vicious dogs begin roaming the streets. With the viral plague spreading through the town and to her very doorstep, Jill is determined to survive.
However, unbeknownst to Jill, an extremely powerful pursuer has already been dispatched to eliminate her.
Resident Evil 3 is the fifth title in the franchise to be ported to Apple devices. Resident Evil Village, Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil 7, and Resident Evil 2 were already available for iOS and macOS.
Although the game can be played on iPhone and iPad with virtual controls, Capcom recommends using a game controller for a better experience. It’s also worth noting that the game takes up approximately 31GB of storage – some of the content is downloaded after you install the main app from the App Store.
Resident Evil 3 requires an iPhone 15 Pro or later, or iPads and Macs with the M1 chip and later. It also works with the iPad mini 7.
You can start playing the game for free, but it requires an in-app purchase to unlock all the levels. Until April 16, you can get the full game for $9.99 – the price will be higher after that date.
