Resident Evil 7 could become this Xbox Series X and PS5 upgrade

(Epitome credit: Capcom)

It looks like Resident Evil Village isn't the only championship Capcom is currently polishing. Co-ordinate to reliable leaker Dusk Golem, the visitor is too working on an upgrade patch for Resident Evil 7 which will make the survival horror classic all the more intense on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PS5.

Those in uncertainty should know that, amid other things, the leaker is known for revealing the existence of Resident Evil Village before Capcom. And when a leaker with that pedigree says something is "100% happening", it's fair to say this is a rumor that should be taken very seriously.

• PLUS: Forget PS5 and Xbox Series X — why you should purchase Nintendo Switch
• Where to buy Xbox Series X: Restock updates for All-time Buy, Walmart, and more

Details are every bit sparse as you would expect for a single 51-word tweet, though you can assume certain things all the same. For starters, this is referred to equally an "update patch" and not a remaster, which suggests fans won't have to buy the game again. That news suggests that it won't be too broad in scope, but all the same you can hope for graphical improvements and peradventure even fancy ray tracing lighting effects.

You're unlikely to see improved framerates on the PS5, however. The game already ran at 60fps even on the base PS4 thanks to the included PSVR support, which requires smoothen and solid frame rates to avoid uncomfortable motion sickness.

On the subject of virtual reality, Sunset Golem as well addressed the fact that Capcom didn't mention it when introducing the globe to Resident Evil 8. "I know VR was in at some indicate," he wrote. "I don't know the electric current status," the leaker continued, highlighting the demand for consistent frame rates for a comfortable experience.

Another factor here is probably the fragmented nature of Sony's virtual reality offerings. Resident Evil seven came out just iv months afterwards PSVR and was an integral (and terrifying) part of pushing early adoption of the hardware. Fast forward four years and we're in a very different place, with PSVR technically supported on PS5, but only via backwards compatibility style. That has led to the slightly strange situation where PS5 players tin play VR titles like Hitman three, merely only past installing the last-generation version.

That may nevertheless be the case with Resident Evil 8. There is, afterward all, a version for PS4 in product. Just suffice it to say the imperative to ensure information technology works at the level required for VR support isn't half equally strong as information technology was back in 2017; not simply is VR no longer new and fresh, but the PS4 is officially last-gen, and there's no indication when the PSVR 2 will get in.
