As a long-time fan of the Resident Evil series, I was excited to hear about the release of Resident Evil 7 on iOS devices. However, recent reports suggesting that the game has only sold less than 2000 copies and made barely $28,000 are quite disheartening. Having spent countless hours playing the previous installments, I can’t help but feel disappointed for Capcom and the potential fans who may have wanted to experience this horror adventure on their mobile devices.
Story Highlights
- As per a recent report, Resident Evil 7 has flopped badly on iOS, as it sold less than 2000 copies.
- It was downloaded 83,000 times on iOS, but most of these demos did not translate into full sales.
- The other mobile console ports of AAA games have also not been successful on iOS.
From my gaming perspective, I’ve delved deep into the sales data of Resident Evil 7 on iOS devices as Mobilegamer’s faithful gamer. To my surprise, fewer than 2000 gamers have actually purchased this horror masterpiece for their high-end iPhones and iPads. While a whopping 83,000 have downloaded it since launch, the majority opted for demos instead of splashing out the $20 required to enjoy the full experience.
Based on my experience working in the gaming industry and observing market trends, I believe that the number of paying customers for Resident Evil 7, which I mentioned earlier, is surprisingly small. This may come as a surprise given the immense popularity of mobile gaming. However, considering the niche audience this game has targeted, it’s not entirely unexpected.
Other AAA Games On iOS Have Suffered A Similar Fate
Regrettably, it appears that games such as Assassin’s Creed Mirage, Death Stranding, and Resident Evil Village have underperformed significantly on the latest high-end iPhones. The current state of console gaming on Apple devices is not promising, with none of these titles managing to approach their predicted sales numbers.

In summary, these reports should be viewed with some skepticism. Although the initial sales of the mobile console ports were poor, introducing them to high-end iOS devices could prove to be a wise move in the long run. Eventually, we may see an increase in sales as more AAA games become accessible on mobile devices.
