Resident Evil 7 biohazard and recent remakes of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 are now available for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, publisher Capcom announced Monday during a live stream. Players who have already purchased any of the three on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will receive a free upgrade (within the same family of consoles).
The current generation console updates for these three Resident Evil games will support 4K resolution images, higher frame rates, and ray tracing on PS5 and Xbox Series X, as well as 3D audio support.
PlayStation 5 versions will use advanced haptic feedback from the DualSense driver. In addition, a patch that will bring the same updates to your computer will also be available, free of charge, to owners of this game.
Resident Evil 2, a remake of the 1998 game of the same name, was released on PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One in January 2019. Resident Evil 3, also a remake of its 1999 namesake, was released on same platforms in April 2020. Both feature giant, unstoppable bad guys (Mr. X in RE2; Nemesis in RE3) who spawned a craft industry of humorous replacement modifications.
Resident Evil 7 biohazard, released in 2017, was the first feature-length release to use Capcom’s RE engine (as did the two subsequent remakes). It is also the first Resident Evil game to use a completely first-person player perspective.
