Assassin's Creed Mirage released on Apple devices ON
The iPhone 15 Pro arrived last year, promising hardware capable of running triple-A games on mobile platforms. Several console titles have since been released for iOS, including games from the Resident Evil franchise, Death Stranding and, most recently, Assassin's Creed Mirage. Turns out that these major titles have not found many takers among iPhone users. A new report says that triple-A console games released on iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max and select iPad models have been commercial failures.
According to analysis by mobilegamer.biz, the number of iPhone users paying full price to unlock these games beyond the early free playable section is small. The prices of these games can go up to Rs. 3,999 , but they're often initially offered at a 50 percent discount on the App Store.

The Ubisoft title has reportedly been downloaded approximately 1,23,000 times from the App Store, with gross revenue amounting to $138,000 (roughly Rs. 1,15,30,452), according to the estimates.

Other triple-A titles like Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil Village and Death Stranding Director's Cut haven't fared well, either. According to estimates mentioned in the report, Resident Evil 4 Remake, which was released on Apple devices in December last year, has seen 3,57,000 installs, with estimated revenue amounting to $208,000 (roughly Rs. 1,73,79,024). According to the report, the game's pricing suggests that around 7,000 people have paid to access the full game since it launched on iPhone.
Resident Evil Village, on the other hand, has recorded 3,70,000 App Store downloads, with estimated revenue of $92,000 (roughly Rs. 76,86,692).

According to these estimates, Assassin's Creed Mirage has recorded $221,000 (roughly Rs. 1,84,64,992) in revenue from 2,79,000 downloads, while Resident Evil 4 has seen 710,000 installs since its launch, netting around $347,000 (roughly Rs. 2,89,92,544) to date for publisher Capcom.
