lol ipads aren't serious for gaming. Imagine paying $25 for this. You could buy the PS4 version on Woot for $20 which has a free PS5 patch. No black bars or ugly icons on the screen. Is this even running at 60 FPS?
How can a buggy app be Apples fault?So… buggy, crashing, load issues, download issues, M4 performs < M1 …
What a half-hearted effort by Apple
Unfortunately, we are still years out from AAA gaming on iOS.
I’ll still download it though
Sure, mobile gaming has tremendous potential, but I'm still not convinced that the very people who are prepared to pay $50 for a game aren't also the people that already have a PlayStation, Xbox, PC or even a Switch.
Seems to be a lot of people that bought it anyway, though if they are smart, they bought it in the first 2 weeks for $25.
I can’t play the PS4/5 game away from my TV, unless I get a PS Portal. And when comparing a Portal Wi-Fi experience vs. native iPad experience, I’ll pick the iPad. Allows me to not carry an additional unit, and I can still play with no controllers nearby.
Same.
Too much remote working at Apple. Gaming team on a different planet from hardware team.
i‘m not blaming Apple here. its Ubisoft that have an issue with the buggy mess that is this game.
I am.
Apple has set hardware and a closed ecosystem. The idea is to control the user experience.
- strict app review guidelines? Failed
- Apple team to work with game developers? Failed
- their bespoke coding architecures to ensure consistent outcomes and best leverage their hardware? Failed
This isn’t Android or some random oem hardware we are talking about.
Strange, the intent of my original question was about VP availability it is not there.
Assuming you are responding to VP availability I'm not seeing it?
Xbox controllers work with the iPad no problem. You are making an issue what is not really an issue if you prefer controllers.
Which iPad are you using?
My setup was M4 iPad Pro 11” Wifi+Cellular 512GB, fresh setup (not from restore), using a PS4 controller and screen mirroring to the latest Apple TV.
I also put my graphics setting on High… not sure if it’s related.
Did you buy the full game? I’m considering, it’s quite good when not crashing!
I have played it on both an M2 11" and an M1 12.9" but am using the default graphics settings. Seems cranking up the settings to high has caused some issues.
I dunno about latency but I've been using an Apple branded Lightning to HDMI converter for years - together with Jump Desktop (in my case coupled with the tiny ProPoint mouse) even super old iPhones work fine as emergency RDP devicesThe protocol already exist! A USB-C cable.
Pro iPads going back many generations have video out as well as the 15's. Apple TV/Airplay is unnecessary just plug it it in/connect a controller to the device via bluetooth.

iPhone 15’s new USB-C port unlocks a number of new features, including the ability to charge other accessories like AirPods...9to5mac.com
For me, with the update I have fewer crashes but the massive stuttering makes the game unplayable… and controller disconnecting.
Working at a software company I am just astonished that this release could have made it through QA - playing for 5 minutes would have shown how unstable things are.
