RDR2 Hits 30+ FPS On iPhone 18 Pro - briefly

(hx) 02:43 PM CEST - Sep,26 2026

Open-source project Madeira posted a video of Red Dead Redemption 2 running on an iPhone 18 Pro with no PC and no cloud streaming.

Madeira says the latest clip holds 30+ FPS, and the team later noted the game can burst to 60 FPS for about the first 30 seconds before iOS power limits kick in. The stack translates x86-64 Windows code to ARM64 with FEX, maps Windows calls to iOS through Wine, and converts DirectX 12 to Metal with the madeira-d3d12 runtime.

The demo renders at 1408x648 with low graphics settings and ultra textures. This is still an experimental sideloaded research build that needs a JIT debugger, not an App Store app, and GitHub currently lists only lighter titles such as Thumper and ULTRAKILL as playable.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is running at 30+ FPS on an iPhone 18 Pro.

No PC, no streaming, fully on-device via Madeira.
