This is exclusive to the PlayStation 5 version of the game as the PC version will not have the option for VR, much in the line of Resident Evil 7 and Village (although an upgrade for RE7 would be nice).

Resident Evil 4 VR mode will support the full main story campaign with visuals that are highlighted by the 4K HDR display of the PlayStation VR2. Players can also expect 3D audio to further immersive themselves the atmosphere. The PlayStation VR2 Sense technology will also be in use and will provide new ways to interact with the world. This includes holding weapons with natural motion, unique gestures for reloading specific firearms, and enhanced knife action for close encounters. Capcom has included a Shooting Range mode to help with combat skills.

For those that do not have the game, but do have a PlayStation VR2, you can look for a demo on the PlayStation Store the same day as release. This will provide a 360° look at the game’s opening and new features. The demo will also include the Shooting Range, where players can experiment with weapons and get an idea of the controls. Much like the VR added to Resident Evil Village, The Mercenaries Mode will not be playable in VR. The VR DLC joins The Mercenaries and Separate Ways as additional DLC for
