Resident Evil 4 VR Mode

“Got something new for ya, stranger!”

Capcom invites you to relive the survival horror classic from an entirely new perspective. On December 8, 2023, Resident Evil™ 4 VR Mode launches exclusively on PlayStation®VR2—and best of all, it’s a free DLC for all owners of Resident Evil 4 on PlayStation®5.

Whether you’re a seasoned Leon S. Kennedy fan or diving into the horror for the first time, this VR release transforms the acclaimed remake into an immersive, first-person survival experience. Players can traverse the full main campaign in VR, bringing them face-to-face with infected villagers, grotesque monstrosities, and the mystery gripping the remote European village.

Try It First: Free VR Demo Available at Launch

Alongside the full release, a free Resident Evil 4 VR Gameplay Demo hits the PlayStation™ Store on launch day. This hands-on preview lets players explore the opening section in 360° VR, featuring the Shooting Range where you can get a feel for the intuitive controls and weapon mechanics.

Full campaign support from start to finish.
4K HDR visuals through Leon’s eyes.

This is survival horror redefined—where every movement, sound, and heartbeat matters.

Are You Ready to Face the Horror in VR?

Resident Evil 4 VR Mode launches December 8. Whether you’re returning to the village or stepping in for the first time, this is your chance to experience every scream, shot, and scare like never before.

In addition to grounding players in this hostile environment, Resident Evil 4 VR Mode heightens the realism with PlayStation VR2 Sense™ technology. The intuitive controls provide new ways to interact with the world.

This also extends to the game’s enhanced knife action for those close encounters.

Resident Evil 4 VR Mode also features a Shooting Range mode that provides a training ground to help players hone their combat skills by testing out the aiming, firing, and reload mechanics for each weapon.

Resident Evil 4 is available now across PlayStation 5, PlayStation®4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. The title is also set to debut on iPhone 15 Pro and all iPads and Macs with the M1 chip or later on Dec. 20, 2023.
