AAA games on iPhones and iPads see disappointing sales figures

AAA-Games-iPhones-iPads

Despite Apple ramping up its effort to penetrate the mobile AAA gaming market, with major titles such as Resident Evil Village and Assassin’s Creed Mirage recently ported to iPhones and iPads, a new report reveals abysmal sales figures and indicates lack of user interest.

Despite their availability on the App Store, these high-profile games have gained significant popularity among Apple users. Data from analytics firm Appfigures suggest that Assassin’s Creed Mirage, which launched on iOS on June 6, reached an estimated 123,000 downloads for the 90-minute trial, but fewer than 3,000 users proceeded to pay for the $49.99 fee for the full game upgrade.

Other big-brand titles have also seen poor sales. Appfigures estimates that Resident Evil 4, available on iOS since December 2023, has been downloaded 357k times, but only 7,000 people opted to unlock the full game for $29.99. Meanwhile, Resident Evil Village saw approximately 5,750 users paying $15.99 for the full version.

Death Stranding, which launched on the platform on January 30, hasn’t even generated enough traction to register in Appfigures’ download tracking data, though the analytics firm estimates the game has roughly $212,000 in revenue.

Several factors may explain why these games flopped. For starters, they require the latest high-end iPhone and iPad models, limiting the number of users who can buy and play. Mobile gamers, who often prefer cheaper, casual games, may have also already played these high-profile games on other consoles. Additionally, clunky touch controls hinder the AAA gaming experience.

Xiaomi 14 Ultra: SD 8 Gen 3, 120Hz AMOLED, 1-inch sensor, Titanium Edition

Xiaomi has introduced in China its best smartphone to date, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra, just a few days before its global debut at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona this February 25. The Xiaomi 14 Ultra looks similar to its predecessor in terms of the layout. But this time, it’s more refined, and Xiaomi is joining in on the Titanium hype as it will come with a Titanium Special Edition model, which uses a grade 5 titanium like the new iPhone 15 Pro series. Oddly, it weighs 229.6g, which is heavier than the black and white (22.4.4g) and Dragon Crystal (229.5g) colors. The Titanium will also exclusively get two-way satellite communication. Another similar but refined feature is the cameras. It still has four 50-megapixel shooters, however, the main one gets an upgraded 1-inch Sony LYT-900 sensor. It also has a wider f/1.63 aperture, which can be dropped to f/4.0. The other three cameras use the same 1/2.5-inch Sony IMX858 sensor. That’s for the ultra-wide lens with a 12mm eq
