What’s the deal?
- Launch Date: 28 Oct 2021 (still, the release is simply “coming” on that day).
- Developer: Capcom, the mastermind behind the whole bio‑hazard saga.
- Predecessor: The game is the direct follow‑up to Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, building on the survival horror formula and adding a new layer of action.

When Ethan Winters finds his daughter no longer just missing but kidnapped, he dives headfirst into a village brimming with mutated monsters, desperate to rescue her while hunting down every ghoul that passes by.
What’s in Store for Mac Players
Expect the same gritty gameplay you’ve seen on Windows—gathering supplies, evading ghouls, and unlocking new weapons—just wrapped in a slick macOS interface. The game’s more action‑driven than ever, so if you thought survival horror was all about hiding, it’s time to get your hands dirty.
Final Thoughts
So whether you’re a Mac aficionado or an optional chance to bring horror into the Apple world, Resident Evil Village is ready to test your nerves and give you chills at the same time. Don’t miss out—mark that date, and prepare for a macOS adventure that’s scarier than a black Friday sale.
Metal 3 and Resident Evil Village: What You Need‑to‑Know
Apple’s Metal 3 is the slick technology that gives games a smoother look and faster data loading on macOS Ventura, iPadOS 16 and iOS 16. Think of it as the invisible architect that lifts jagged edges into crystal‑clear shapes while keeping your gameplay buttery‑smooth.
Resident Evil Village on Apple Silicon
- To dive into the haunting “Village” on a Mac, you’ll need an Apple Silicon machine:
- 2020 Mac mini or newer
- 2022 Mac Studio (or the 2022 model)
- MacBook Air from 2020 onwards
- MacBook Pro from 2020 onwards
In short, if your device has Apple Silicon, you’re good to go. If it’s an older Intel Mac, you’ll have to wait until an official port arrives.
Where Else Does It Live?
Resident Evil Village is already available on:
- PS4 and PS5
- PC (Steam, Epic, etc.)
- Xbox One, Series X, and Series S
And the big news? On October 28, the game will land on the Nintendo Switch, giving everyone a chance to run terror through their living room—as long as the Switch stays charged!
Why Metal 3 Matters
Metal 3’s upscaling magic means that even older titles get the visual polish of newer graphics tech—no more pixelated textures when you’re fighting off wight hordes. It also slashes load times, so you’re not stuck staring at a spinning wheel while the crypts are being prepared.
Bottom Line
If you’re chasing that jump‑scare vibe on a Mac, just make sure you’re on a recent Apple Silicon model. For the rest of the world, it’s already out there on every major console and PC. Grab a copy and prepare to scream—your graphics will thank you!
