- [Stewie] The latest iPad Pros feature ProMotion,
a new technology that delivers refresh rates
up to 120 Hertz.
This allows games to support a smooth frame rate of 120.
So today I'm going to be sharing 14 iPad Pro games
with 120FPS support.
Please note, all these games have been played
on a 2018 11-inch iPad pro.
Number 14, we have Assassin's Creed Rebellion.
The fantastic strategy game, Rebellion,
was first showcased on stage
at the late 2018 Apple special event.
One of the main reasons that it was presented
was because it was playable at 120FPS on this new iPad pro.
Anyway, Rebellion is a free game of the App Store
and it's worth taking a look at
if you're into the whole world of Assassin's Creed.
Even if the gameplay formula here is completely different,
it also requires internet to play.
Number 13, we have Train Conductor World.
The developer for this game, The Voxel Agents,
have shared some exciting news with me.
On the 29th of August, they are updating
Train Conductor World to version 1.14.
This major update brings a new location
set in the Eastern Europe.
A huge upgrade to the ports, portrait view on the map,
an overhaul tutorial,
tons of small quality life improvements,
and the most importantly, ProMotion or 120FPS support
on 3rd gen iPad pros.
Now that is a big update.
If you've never played this gem,
it's a high-speed train traversal puzzler
that is all about the connecting trains
to tracks at blistering speeds.
Train Conductor is completely free too
and can be played offline.
Number 12 is Thumper.
Recently, the developer Drool updated Thumper
to version 1.13 on the App Store.
This obviously brought 120 frames per second support
but also added in an option under settings
to cut the frame back to 60 frames per second
if you would like to save battery, for instance.
Thumper is all about fast-paced combat
and getting in time with the music
to get past obstacles and bosses.
It can be very challenging game at times
as you get further on through the levels
and your heart rate will be going crazy
but it's super addicting.
Anyway, Thumper is a paid premium game
that has no ads and no in-app purchases
and it can be played offline.
Number 11 is Tactical.
Tactical fully supports 120FPS at ultra graphics quality
but you have to enable this
from the graphics menu under settings.
Even playing at ultra settings,
I wouldn't say this is the most good-looking game out there
by a long shot but it's still a super fun,
competitive multiplayer game.
You have different gun classes to choose,
you can run people down in cars,
throw grenades and even play it with a controller.
But keep in mind controller support is limited
to gameplay only.
Menu interaction must be done with the touchscreen.
Tactical is a free game on the App Store
and requires an internet connection
to play in online matches.
Number 10 we have World of Tanks Blitz.
I believe in late 2018 this tank shooter
became fully supported for 2018 iPad Pros.
It was originally released back in June 2014.
But since then it has gone through some dramatic changes
in terms of it's graphics and it's available
on many other platforms from PC, iOS, and android now.
For iPad Pros Blitz can be played at 120FPS
at high graphics quality but you have to enable this
from the graphics menu under settings.
Anyway World of Tanks Blitz is completely free
and requires an internet connection to play.
Number nine is Phoenix 2.
In November 2018 Phoenix 2, a great shoot 'em up,
was updated to version 4.1.
This update brought a new ship, bug fixes,
increased detail and resolution for the first 40 ships
and obviously support for the new iPad Pros.
With wave color and 120FPS support.
If you want to know some more technical things,
this game supports the Metal API,
uses the dev's Flare engine, which was developed in-house.
This engine allows the game to render the action
with advanced graphic effects such as Bloom
and an anamorphic lens flare.
Phoenix point two is completely free
and requires an internet connection to play.
Number eight we have Alto's Odyssey.
In January 2019 this atmospheric platformer
was updated to version 1.0.6.
This added ProMotion or 120 Hertz support.
To use ProMotion you must enable it
via the in-game settings menu.
Alto's Odyssey is such a beautiful game
and it caught the eyes of Apple
who awarded the developer, Snowman,
the Apple Design Award winner for 2018.
That's a great accomplishment.
It also has controller support and since it's a paid game,
it luckily has no ads and no in-app purchases.
It also supports controllers too.
Number seven is Vainglory.
Sure, Vainglory was released back in 2014.
But even today, in 2019, it's still a very good looking game
and it's one of the most popular games
on the App Store still.
Plus it also features cross-platform support
so you can join matches between players
across iOS, Android, Windows and Mac.
That's pretty cool.
For 2018 iPad Pro users,
you can play in high performance mode
which enables 120 frames per second.
To do this you have to enable it
via your iPad settings, not in-game.
And I've said it in a previous video,
but this is my favorite game to play with my Apple Pencil,
it's almost built for it.
From the UI, to moving your character,
to targeting enemies and selecting powers.
I highly suggest it.
Anyway, Vainglory is free on the App Store
and requires internet to play.
Number six we have Rush Rally 3.
Recently I contacted the developer
for this rally simulation game
and they confirmed that Rush Rally
can be played at 120 frames per second.
To do this you have to make the target FPS max
under the options menu.
On the latest iPad Pros you can play
at a resolution of 2K with all quality settings put to high.
This makes the game look pretty damn nice.
Not nearly as good as the upcoming racer in this episode,
but still pretty damn good looking.
Rush Rally 3 also supports controllers,
has online multiplayer matches, is playable offline,
and is a paid premium game on the App Store.
Number five is Critical Ops.
Some call this shooter the mobile version of CS Go
and I can see why.
It's competitive gameplay, modes,
and audio definitely resemble that game.
In late 2018 it brought 120FPS support to iPad Pro.
To enable it you must change the target frame rate
up to 120 under the settings menu.
If you want to experience 120 frames per second,
I'd say Critical Ops is one of the first games
you should try,
because of it's fast-paced shooting gameplay for instance.
Anyway Critical Ops is a free game on the App Store
and requires internet to play.
Number four, we have Grimvalor.
On the 17th of December 2018
Grimvalor was updated to version 1.0.5.
Which I guess you know by now,
brought support for the new iPad Pros with 120FPS rendering.
The game can be compared to a 2D God of War,
mixed with Castlevania elements.
It's very deep and complex
and every enemy requires a big learning curve
in order to figure out how to defeat them.
Anyway Grimvalor is a paid premium game,
supports controllers, and can be played offline.
Number three is Hyper Light Drifter.
According to the App Store page for this game
it supports 120 frames per second.
However, Abbey Lights have told me
that there has been an iPad performance issue reported
and they are working on a fix,
which will be coming in September's update.
Me personally, I haven't noticed any hiccups
with paying at 120 frames per second,
but those reports are there and they're trying to fix it.
Now what you're getting here is
the console definitive edition of Hyper Light Drifter.
Including controller support,
more weapons, enemies and areas.
It is a paid game, but it brings a premium experience
and offers offline support too.
Number two, we have Journey.
From the creators of Sky, comes Journey to iOS.
Now it was a PS3 and PS4 game beforehand but recently,
with the help of Annapurna Interactive,
they published the game to iOS.
With an iPad Pro, you can go into the settings app
and play Journey at a refresh rate of 120
and a resolution of very high.
I'd say playing on an iPad Pro is by far the best place
to experience this wonderful adventure game.
With all it's stunning open-world environments
and great music score
that can be heard on the fantastic iPad Pro speakers.
Anyway, Journey is a premium paid game
and can be played offline.
Number one, we have GRID Autosport.
This is my favorite game to play on my iPad.
It's just a great, triple A racing game
to experience on a large display.
You can select graphics, or performance options
to choose either better graphical detail
or higher frame rate.
If you are on a third generation iPad Pro
you can also select performance plus
to opt for an even higher frame rate, up to 120.
However keep in mind,
this will result in a graphical detail trade-off.
I'd also have to say that GRID Autosport
is one of the best games out there, like Critical Ops,
to experience this much higher frame rate.
It is a solid, solid time.
Anyway GRID Autosport is a premium paid game,
which supports controllers and can be played offline.
