Resident Evil 7 PSVR is exclusive to PS4 for one year

Those of you who want to play Resident Evil 7 in VR will have to do so on PS4; it's either that, or wait an entire year.

By Michael Harradence on 3 October 2016

Sony has revealed via a promotional Facebook image that Resident Evil 7: biohazard’s VR mode will be exclusive to PlayStation 4 users for a period of 12 months. In other words, you won’t be able to play it in VR on any other format until at least January 2018.

Resident Evil 7 PSVR mode allows gamers to play through the entirety of Capcom’s upcoming survival horror sequel using Sony’s virtual reality headset, which adds a whole new dimension of immersion to the proceedings. We’ve tried it already, and suffice to say, the atmosphere afforded by PSVR is palpable. 

Resident Evil 7 demo update introduces new items and rooms

Capcom recently updated its Beginning Hour demo for Resident Evil 7, which introduces a number of fresh content, such as new items and a brand new room to explore. It even gives us a use for the mysterious dummy finger, though it’s still not possible to actually escape the farmhouse without getting KO’d by Jack Baker. 


Resident Evil 7 is due out on PS4, PC, and Xbox One on January 24, 2017. The game takes place some years after the events of Resident Evil 6, and sees players controlling fresh-faced protagonist Ethan as he searches for his missing wife on a sprawling plantation mansion in Louisiana. The game also takes place entirely from a first-person perspective.

Capcom is celebrating the 20th anniversary of Resident Evil throughout 2016, and has already marked the occasion by releasing PS4 and Xbox One versions of Resident Evil 4-6. Beyond Resi 7, the studio is also working on a full-fledged remake of 1998’s seminal Resident Evil 2, although we’ve yet to see anything on the game.
