The game supports "universal purchase" which means Apple fans can play the game between the devices they own. Cross play is enabled so you can transfer save functions between devices. And if you're gaming on Mac, that version includes mouse and keyboard support.

Resident Evil 4 just became available for apple devices on Dec 20, 2023.
