*Resident Evil 3* has officially launched on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, delivering a chilling return to the iconic setting of Raccoon City. This time, players step into the boots of veteran survivor Jill Valentine as she faces off against terrifying new horrors in one of the most pivotal chapters in survival horror history. As the third major *Resident Evil* title to arrive on Apple devices, it continues Capcom’s push to showcase high-quality console-like experiences on mobile platforms.
Set during the early chaos of the Raccoon City outbreak, *Resident Evil 3* shifts perspective from Chris Redfield to Jill Valentine, offering a fresh but familiar journey through the crumbling urban nightmare. While the game retains the over-the-shoulder camera introduced in the *Resident Evil 2* remake, it also brings back one of the series’ most feared antagonists—Nemesis. This relentless enemy stalks Jill throughout the city, appearing at key moments to raise tension and remind players that danger is always just around the corner.
A Powerful Showcase for Apple Devices
Since the release of *Resident Evil 7*, Capcom has steadily expanded its presence on iOS and macOS, joining Ubisoft in leveraging the impressive performance of modern iPhones and iPads. With the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 leading the charge, these ports are more than just vanity projects—they're demonstrations of how far Apple's mobile hardware has come.
While some may dismiss these releases as premium-priced tech demos, they serve an important role in pushing the boundaries of what mobile gaming can achieve. Especially with Apple’s Vision Pro seemingly falling out of the spotlight, *Resident Evil 3* on iOS and Mac becomes even more relevant as a statement of current device capabilities.
Welcome to Raccoon City – if you dare.
Whether you're a long-time fan or new to the franchise, *Resident Evil 3* offers a gripping survival horror experience that’s now accessible right from your pocket or desktop. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to dive into the terror, there’s no better time than now.
