And for those who play on PC, you’ll also get to see the benefits.Upgrade patches for all threewill roll out for PC players at no additional cost, alongside the launch of the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions.
Right now, Capcom is characterizing these as visual enhancements. With how impressive these games, especially the remakes, were in the visual department, this should be a nice upgrade for a future replay.
TheResident Evilremakesseem to be pretty successful so far, so it’s nice to see them get support as we move into a new console generation. Following bothRE2andRE3, it’s been reported that a remake ofResident Evil 4is also in the works, though we’ve yet to hear any official confirmation of it.
Resident Evil 7also getting the upgrade nod is nice, too. The shift to first-person horror was a gamble that seemed to pay off, and soon the Baker house will be fully explorable in next-gen fidelity. It will be terrifying, I’m sure.
