Meanwhile high-end games on iOS failed miserably. None of them break even. Some say the issue is that only the flagship devices were able to launch them, but in my opinion the issue lies deeper:

None of them worked well. Like not even close to being properly optimized, improved for smaller screens, etc. And input delay was sometimes up to several seconds.

Death Stranding was probably the best of all in terms of the performance and inputs, but still it was only playable on MacBook, not iPhone.

Meanwhile, FSR 3.1 became available and it is surprisingly good: a little bit worse than DLSS but works on the majority of devices and works on Vulkan API (so it will eventually be available in Godot 4.x):

Bloodborne has been launched on PC via the new PS4 emulator. It's not yet playable but you can make a character.

There's still no remake or PC port announcement. Rumors said that the studio doesn't have a full source of the game.

Which yet again makes emulation a valid solution for preserving games!
