Resident Evil 2 joins Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil Village and Resident Evil 7 on the App Store, and Capcom will hope that sales of RE2 fare better than the other games it’s released. Resident Evil Village and other console titles have bombed on iPhone had reportedly received around 5,750 sales back in June, and Resident Evil 4 didn’t perform much better, brining in around 7,000 paid players.

Still, it seems like Capcom is still willing to support Apple’s devices as the Cupertino-based company looks to increase its standing in the gaming space. Apple is also reportedly in talks with Sony to bring its PSVR 2 controllers to Apple Vision Pro, which would boost the headset’s gaming capabilities significantly.
