Capcom has confirmed today that the PS5 and Xbox Series S/X versions of the RE Engine-developed Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3 and Resident Evil 7 will be available later this year. The company also announced that those who already purchased the game on PS4 or Xbox One will be eligible for a free upgrade at no additional cost through the PS4 to digital PS5 upgrade option or Xbox Smart Delivery system. There will also be a free upgrade patch made available for PC users.

The new-gen versions of all three titles will include features such as ray tracing, high frame rate and 3D audio. On the PS5, the titles will also support the DualSense support for Haptic Feedback and Adaptive Triggers.

However, a release window for the availability of these games on new-gen systems haven't been made public yet.

Capcom's projected sales for such things that low that they are not doing the RE4 treatment and paid rereleasing half a hundred times?

That's cool.

Makes me wish Silent Hill and P.T. were owned by Capcom than Konami now.

Bring Resident Evil 2, 3, 7, and 8 to the switch, you cowards!!! You're the ones that pushed Nintendo to put 4GB of RAM in the Switch so it could run your game engine, and now you don't even put your games in it. Pathetic, Capcom!!!

I think those particular games would murder a Switch. Unless you wanted to see them at 640x480 resolution.

Or streaming....

Awesome, I have RE-7 on Ps4, if I ever get a Ps5 I'll appreciate the free upgrades, although I prefer RE-5 for the split-creen couch co-op experience.

Village on Switch? Maybe with the successor of the Switch.

I still don't have a PS5 so I have a question. Does this upgrade only work if you buy a brand new PS4 game or can I just buy a second hand cheap copy in the future?

 

[sley]

The games already looked really good, not sure if it's worth a replay after the patch.

 

[Stone_Wings]

The only part I don't like is "later this year".

You're thinking along the lines of a redeemable code or one-time use "thing," but discs aren't like that.

Microsoft did try that and it backfired, hence the success of PS4's launch.

And suddenly,CAPCOM "finds" his old Gems to make more Money with them....
Oh wait,did they say FREE ? Yeah !!!

Capcom announces free.......Upgrades.......Resident Evil 3

Ah,pretty sure the "missing Levels and Locations....."

They already gave it a go by releasing Biohazard 7: Cloud Version in Japan. It was awful. The Switch simply doesn’t have the brawn to run those titles natively.

Nice I've been wanting to replay RE 2 and 3 lately. I wonder if they will have their own trophies/achievements from the ps4 and Xbox one versions. If they do, I guess I will be REplatinuming them.

all free upgrades worked with all the discs, you put the disc in and it will say if you want to download ps5 version instead.
