For a while, players of “Resident Evil 4 Remake” and “Resident Evil 7” were able to enjoy these games on iOS mobiles – until a recent change from the game’s developers caught them off guard. Now, news reports are saying an Internet connection is required for you to be able to play those games on your iOS gadgets.
Connect to the Internet first
The launch of the compatibilities of some “Resident Evil” games, such as “Resident Evil 4 Remake,” “Residential Evil Village,” and “Resident Evil 7,” on iOS gadgets, including the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, have wowed gamers. This means they can play their favorite “Resident Evil” titles even while away from their computers or PlayStations, such as when on a long flight or inside the bus.
Unfortunately, game developer Capcom has placed a limit and reportedly said iOS handset owners can no longer play these games without an Internet connection.
This news was revealed on the r/iosgaming subreddit with a member sharing this screenshot:
The Redditor quoted Capcom saying, “Due to changes to the startup process, an Internet connection is now required when starting this app.”
There are no popular reports saying if this is an official Capcom announcement, but as for the reason for this decision, news outlets are saying it is because of low sales. Read on to find out.
Low sales as the reason?
News agencies are saying that “Resident Evil” games like “7” failed to cross $30,000 in sales, which is surprising because the game received solid praise and good reviews.
It is confusing because if sales are the reason for this decision, why will Capcom enact restrictions that will reduce the number of gamers playing the games?
Also, even iPad owners and gamers may be affected by this change. For now, “Resident Evil” gamers who wish to play the games on their iOS gadgets away from home may abide by this ruling until there are new developments.
