Powerhouse Potential, Game Library Question Mark

The 9S Pro's considerable power raises a question: will the available game library fully utilize its capabilities? While Apple devices boast recent next-gen titles like Resident Evil 7 and Assassin's Creed Mirage, the 9S Pro will likely focus on existing mobile games, including MiHoYo's titles and high-fidelity games like Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile. Considering a potential price point around £500, this might not be a compelling enough factor for some gamers.
