While Resident Evil 4 was a landmark in the franchise, who knew players were waiting for a remake that could thrill them as the original did? However, one thing not so thrilling was its unexpected teaser trailer mentioning the PS5 only in the State of Play held on June 3, 2022.
As such, players, except those rocking the latest Sony console, are losing sleep over the likelihood of it only being accessible to the PS5.
If you’re also concerned about the available platforms for Resident Evil 4, then read on as we debunk all the myths.

In short, Resident Evil 4 Remake isn’t limited to the PS5 only, despite its reveal at a Sony State of Play event. Instead, players on a handful of other platforms will experience it, including other PlayStation consoles. Despite the next-gen visuals, even those running a mid-range setup will get to play the remake for Resident Evil 4 without any noticeable frame drops.

To clear things out, Resident Evil 4 Remake will not come out on the Xbox One, despite releasing on the PS4, which is its close competitor.

More importantly, don’t get fooled by stores falsely advertising the game on the Xbox One since it’s most probably a scam.

It may come off as disappointing to users of the beloved handheld console, but the Resident Evil 4 Remake is not available on the Switch.

However, as we’ve seen with Resident Evil Village, players might get to play Resident Evil 4 Remake via the cloud on Switch in the future, so fingers crossed.
