Capcom's Resident Evil 2 remake has debuted on Apple devices, making it the fourth Resident Evil title to arrive on Apple's mobile platforms.

The survival horror shooter is available as a free download with a limited part of the game being playable, after which players must purchase the full game to continue. The good news is that Capcom is running a promotional discount of 75% off the usual price for a limited time.

From now until January 8, the base game can be purchased for $9.99, while all in-game rewards can be unlocked for $1.99. After that date, the game will be sold for $39.99.

Resident Evil 2 requires an iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 16 series model to run, along with iPads and Macs equipped with M1 chips or later. The game supports cross-progression across supported Apple devices, so players can continue their progress whether playing on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. It's also a universal purchase, meaning a single purchase grants access across all compatible Apple devices.

Capcom says the app is approximately 31GB in size, and that the installation process requires the target drive to have at least twice the size of the app in storage space available. An internet connection is also required to start the game. Resident Evil 2 can be downloaded from the App Store. [Direct Link]

Hi, is it possibile to play it on MacBookPro using just keyboard and mouse?
 
None of the RE games (RE 4, RE 7, Village) require an internet connection any longer. RE 2 works on an external drive too.

Nice to see good quality games coming to the Mac. Nice discount too for the first few weeks. Might be a good time to purchase it.

Since no one answered me earlier. I will try once more. Hopefully, someone will answer me this time. I do not own any apple devices. Will this become available on Android devices?

Here you find all the games and supported platforms. The new remakes have never been released on Android. Your only choice is cloud gaming on Android..

As of right now, none of the recent AAA games released on iOS devices that require 8+ GB of RAM (RE Series, Assassins Creed, Death Stranding) have been released on Android.
 
I have installed it on an external HD, and it works. The problem is that the in-app purchases didn't work. I mean: they get money form CCard, but the game remains in demo mode. I have resolved it installing on the internal HD. Once launched, it recognized that I had purchased it.

so does that mean in app purchases in games on external drives don't work, or is it just an issue with this game in particular?

Nice question.
I have tried this solution because I have read about it in another forum about another game having the same issue.
So I just tried....and it worked for me

What I have noticed is that, installing on an external hd, it creates automatically the /Application folder where it puts the game; at the same time it also create a /Library folder that is empty (and can't find needed files)
So I guess that it would be the problem. Just a bug

Decided to give this game a try.... has anyone else had it cause your Mac to reboot? I played for about 10 minutes before the MBP (M3Pro) became unresponsive and then rebooted.
 
Does anybody know if I can use the game on multiple devices with one purchase?
