What better way to play a horror game like Resident Evil 4 Remake than with a VR attached to your head? With the success of the latest Resident Evil games on VR, many fans also long to play the Remake on their VR headset.
This begs the question: will the Resident Evil 4 Remake even come out on VR?
Can You Play Resident Evil 4 Remake On VR?
While Capcom confirms that Resident Evil 4 will receive a VR mode as a free DLC on PS5 and PSVR2, we are unsure when the mode will be released. Capcom confirmed that they just started development on the VR mode in February 2023 via the Japanese Twitter account of Resident Evil.

Even though Capcom had confirmed the VR mode on June 22 when they originally announced the game, it’s quite disappointing for the fans to know that the development for the mode has started fairly late. Nevertheless, the late development announcement sets one thing straight: we won’t be able to play the Remake on VR at the time of release.
How Will VR Mode Change Resident Evil 4 Remake?
It’s quite probable the introduction of the VR mode may slightly change how the game plays out, introducing some extra VR elements which may immerse the players in the game. We have a hunch that the game mode might use Resident Evil 4 Remake’s Mercenaries mode as the foundation and build on top of that.
Nevertheless, since Capcom confirmed that the PSVR2 mode would allow players the complete campaign experience, we can’t wait to see how sick this will look, considering the PSVR2’s modern haptics and new eye-tracking features.
