After releasing on almost every platform released in the past 18 years (most recently to the Meta Quest 2 in a very good VR port), Capcom has completely re-engineered 2005’s Resident Evil 4 to terrorize more platforms. It’s out on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC on Friday, March 24, 2023.
This newer version looks promising, with stellar graphics and the return of familiar characters and locales. While many (including myself) feel like the original RE4 has aged well, it seems safe to trust Capcom’s handling when remaking its own cherished games. 2019’s RE2 and 2020’s RE3 were faithful recreations, yet new enough to be worth buying all over again.
If you want to place a pre-order for the game to get it on launch day, we’ve got all of the links and info on the various editions below (sadly, there’s no chainsaw controller this time around).
As usual, PC gamers can get the lowest price ahead of launch day. Fanatical and Green Man Gaming are knocking almost $10 off the retail cost of the game, which is a heck of a pre-order incentive. Otherwise, you can pay the full $59.99 price for the game at Steam (via Humble Bundle). Note: All copies can only be redeemed on Steam.
Pre-ordering on PC will get you two digital perks, including a gold-colored attaché case that increases the drop rate of pesetas (the in-game currency), a handgun ammo charm that hangs off the case that gives you the chance of crafting bonus handgun bullets.
Prices taken at time of publishing.
Across all platforms, the price for the Resident Evil 4 remake is $59.99. Buying on PlayStation gets you both the PS4 and PS5 version. But bad news for Xbox One owners: The remake of RE4 is only coming to Xbox Series X and Series S consoles.
