Capcom has brought Resident Evil 3 to Apple’s ecosystem, allowing players to experience the zombie apocalypse on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. This expansion continues the franchise’s push onto mobile and macOS platforms, making high-end horror gaming more accessible.
Classic Horror, New Platforms
Originally released as a remake of the 1999 survival horror classic, Resident Evil 3 follows protagonist Jill Valentine as she tries to escape the T-Virus outbreak in Raccoon City. Players must navigate the dangerous streets while evading Nemesis, a relentless bio-weapon sent by the Umbrella Corporation.
Now, Apple users can play this thrilling adventure on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. The game is available as a free download with a partial trial. Unlocking the full version requires a $9.99 in-app purchase, while an additional $1.99 lets players access all in-game rewards instantly.
Hardware and Performance Requirements
To ensure smooth gameplay, Capcom has set strict hardware requirements:
- iPhone: Requires iPhone 15 Pro or later running iOS 17 or newer.
- iPad: Needs iPadOS 17 or newer, with at least an A17 Pro or M-series chip.
- Mac: Compatible with macOS 13 or later, requiring at least an M1 chip.
The game also demands significant storage, requiring a minimum of 31GB, with a 20.7GB initial download. While touch controls are available, Capcom recommends using a game controller for the best experience.
Seamless Gameplay Across Apple Devices
One of the biggest advantages of playing Resident Evil 3 on Apple devices is the ability to sync progress across multiple platforms. Players can start the game on their Mac and continue it on their iPhone or iPad without losing progress.
