Capcom made no mention of older consoles, and so many assumed that the Resident Evil 4 remake would be a proper, next-gen only release. On one hand, this would mean the Resident Evil 4 remake wouldn’t be held back by the limitations of older consoles, but on the other hand, it would mean that some gamers would simply be missing out if they still haven’t been able to get their hands on a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X.

However, Capcom has now confirmed that the Resident Evil 4 remake is also going to be available for PlayStation 4 at launch. Capcom confirmed as much during its Tokyo Game Show 2022 presentation, but stopped short of showing the PS4 version of the game in action. Those interested in seeing more of the Resident Evil 4 remake will have to tune in to the special Resident Evil showcase in October, though a specific date and time for that event was not announced. Dedicated Xbox One and Nintendo Switch versions of the game weren’t announced either, which is surprising since the game is coming to PS4.
Besides confirming the Resident Evil 4 remake for PS4 at Tokyo Game Show, Capcom also gave fans a reminder about some of the other new content on the way from its survival-horror franchise. Chief among this upcoming content is the Resident Evil Village DLC that’s set to launch on October 28. The Winters Expansion for Resident Evil Village will be adding the Shadows of Rose story, an optional third-person mode for the base game, and new characters for the Mercenaries mode.
Capcom also touched on new ways that Resident Evil fans will be able to play Resident Evil Village in the near future. This includes the Resident Evil Village cloud version that’s coming to the Nintendo Switch, as well as the VR version of the game that’s in the works for Sony’s PlayStation VR2 headset. It will be interesting to see what else Capcom has in store for Resident Evil fans once the showcase rolls around in October.
Resident Evil 4 launches March 24, 2023 for PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X.
