\u201cAt this time, there are no plans to bring any parts of Resident Evil Requiem to VR platforms,\u201d Kumazawa said. \u201cHowever, the game can be played in a first-person perspective, allowing players to feel immersed in the experience. We also have not yet shown much of Leon\u2019s gameplay yet, and we plan to share more details in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Resident Evil Requiem is expected to release on February 26th, 2026 across\u00a0PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X and Series S, and Windows PCs.<\/p>\n
My Take<\/p>\n
Capcom\u2019s successive Resident Evil\u00a0VR modes seems to suggest a pattern. As PlayStation 5\u2019s best-performing titles, all of which come with free\u00a0VR modes, this is about the clearest picture we can get of the headset\u2019s respective adoption rates, suggesting that VR player numbers on the platform have dropped significantly from PSVR 1 to PSVR 2:<\/p>\n

- Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (2017): original PSVR mode released concurrently with the game\u2019s launch on PS4, attracting 1.25 million confirmed VR players<\/a>. Never ported to PSVR 2.<\/li>\n
- Resident Evil Village (2021): PSVR 2 mode released nearly two years after launch. No public numbers available, although Capcom said shortly after release a \u201clarge majority\u201d<\/a> of PSVR 2 owners played.<\/li>\n
- Resident Evil 4 Remake (2023): PSVR 2 mode released eight months after launch, attracting 244,000 confirmed VR players<\/a>\u00a0to date.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
While it\u2019s impossible to know whether Sony actively funded long-time partner studio Capcom to create those VR modes\u2014and could possibly be refusing to do so with Capcom\u2019s next RE title\u2014it\u2019s pretty clear Capcom isn\u2019t making the same sort of bets on PSVR 2 that it once made on the original PSVR.<\/p>\n
- Resident Evil Village (2021): PSVR 2 mode released nearly two years after launch. No public numbers available, although Capcom said shortly after release a \u201clarge majority\u201d<\/a> of PSVR 2 owners played.<\/li>\n
