Resident Evil 7 Biohazard News

Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3 and Resident Evil 7 are coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S later this year

Capcom has announced it's bringing Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 7 to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles later this year.

For PS5 players, all three titles also feature DualSense support for Haptic Feedback and Adaptive Triggers.

Players who previously purchased Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, or Resident Evil 7 on PS4 or Xbox One are eligible for an upgrade at no additional cost through the PS4 to digital PS5 upgrade option or Xbox Smart Delivery system.

Capcom has updated its Platinum Titles list which provides sales data on the ten best-selling titles in the company's library.

There are only three franchises represented in the top 10: Monster Hunter, Resident Evil, and Street Fighter.

The latest release in the Resident Evil series, May's Resident Evil Village, has sold 5.70 million copies, putting it in tenth place on the Platinum Titles list.

Resident Evil 7 is approaching its fifth birthday, with the horror game having launched back in January 2017. Last August, Capcom revealed that RE7 was its second-best selling game of all time, and it sure is holding onto that position over a year on. The studio has announced on Twitter that Resident Evil 7 has now surpassed the ten million sales mark, which it seems keeps it safely in the number two spot.

"We could not have reached this goal without our awesome fans! Thank you from the Resident Evil family," the Twitter channel of Capcom Dev 1 - the division that heads up development on the Resident Evil series and some of the studio's other IPs - posts (below). It's not clear what the breakdown of those sales is by platform - specifically, how many were sold on PC - but it's an enormous figure.

According to the most recent stats available on Capcom's site, the game was still the second-best seller as of June this year, sitting at 9.8 million units sold at that time. That put it beneath Capcom's extraordinarily successful 2018 action-RPG game Monster Hunter: World (17.3 million units sold as of June 2021), but above the 2019 Resident Evil 2 remake (8.6 million).

Resident Evil 7 PC review

Not too far into Resident Evil 7 you're confronted by possibly the most grisly, disturbing sight in modern videogames: a battle involving a part of the female anatomy that's playing host to a beehive. That's caught your horrified attention, hasn't it? If you think you're grossed out now, wait until you actually play it. As awful as the concept is, it contributes to a very important new shift for the series: finally, Resi is horrific again. Gone is the action movie bravado, building-collapsing explosions, and a briefcase full of rocket launchers. With the seventh entry in the core series, we're returning back to the world of creepy houses, lock puzzles, and back-tracking.

Stay terrified with the spookiest horror games on PC.
