Resident Evil 4 Remake VR Mode Releasing In December On PS5

You might never have the cool jacket or perfect hair of Leon Kennedy, but you can go behind his eyes with the release of the Resident Evil 4 VR Mode on December 8. Capcom has announced the free add-on will arrive alongside a demo for all PlayStation VR 2 owners on PS5, too.

Resident Evil 4 VR Mode features the entire main story of the game and includes 3D audio. In addition, Capcom notes there's also a Shooting Range to test out physical interactions with the various weapons in the game, like the iconic handgun or rifles. This Shooting Range mode will also be a part of the free demo for PSVR 2 owners.

Capcom originally unveiled a VR version of Resident Evil 4 was in the works at the beginning of the year. The company then showed off a debut trailer for the remake's VR mode at a PlayStation Showcase in May. Back in September, Resident Evil 4 got the Separate Ways DLC starring Ada Wong.

In addition to the VR Mode next month, Resident Evil 4 is also up for Game of the Year at The Game Awards on December 7. The remake earned four nominations overall. Resident Evil 4 holds the distinction of earning a rare GameSpot 10/10 review score.

GameSpot's Resident Evil 4 review stated that "it raises the bar for what a good remake is and at the same time, preserves Resident Evil 4's legacy as a genre-defining experience and one of the greatest games of all time."
