Resident Evil 4 Remake VR Mode To Release As Free DLC For PS5/PSVR 2
The highly-anticipated Resident Evil 4 remake, which will release next month on PC and consoles, will get a VR mode on PlayStation 5 in the future, developer CAPCOM confirmed today.

This mode will not be available at launch but will be offered as a free DLC on PlayStation 5 and PSVR 2.
