    iPhones now support wired Xbox controllers.

    With the latest iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia updates, wired gaming with an Xbox controller is now supported, even for devices with Lightning ports (using an adapter), MacRumors reports, giving Xbox-preferring gamers a way around latency and wireless interference.

    Apple devices had previously supported PlayStation controllers but not Xbox, which MacRumors notes use a proprietary USB protocol, so support for it needed to be custom, as well.

    The Resident Evil 2 remake is coming to Apple devices on New Year’s Eve.

    What better place to ring in the new year than in zombie-infested Raccoon City? The port for Apple devices, announced for the App Store earlier this year, has now gotten a December 31st release date, AppleInsider spotted.

    Like Resident Evil 4 and Village, it’ll be free to start, and an in-app purchase unlocks the full game.
