Estimates suggest that fewer than 3,000 people have paid $49.99 to play Assassin’s Creed Mirage on iPhone. Other console ports like Resident Evil 4 and Death Stranding have flopped too.
Resident Evil Village has fared even worse, with Appfigures estimating 370k downloads and just $92k in revenue, meaning the number of players who have actually paid $15.99 to unlock the full game is around 5,750.
