The pricing for the iOS release of 2022’sResident Evil 4remakehas been revealed, and prospective players who were hoping that the survival horror game could be a bit cheaper on mobile devices might be surprised to discover that, in fact, the pocket-sized version of the game will cost pretty much exactly the same as it does on console and PC.
While the game shows as free to download on the App Store, only a limited amount of the game can actually be played without spending money on an in-app purchase.

Its Deluxe Edition, which comes with a DLC pack, costs an additional $19.99.
Meanwhile, in the UK, VGCreportsthat one in-app purchase named ‘Resident Evil 4(With Bonus)’ costs £57.99, so to make the safe assumption that this is the full game, it costs slightly more than the console version (which has a recommended retail price of £54.99 on PS4 andPS5), and more still than theSteamversion, which is £49.99 at full price. In the UK, the extra DLC pack costs £15.99, according to VGC.
