Although there is a properly working VR mod that works on all four RE Engine games (Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, Resident Evil 2 Remake, Resident Evil 3 Remake, Resident Evil: Village), maybe Capcom will implement official VR support on PC…

In June, Sony announced that Resident Evil: Village would head to the PlayStation VR2. It would get 4K resolution, eye tracking, 3D audio, and, hopefully, an enjoyable experience of Ethan Winters’ Eastern European adventure. However, even then, we didn’t have much faith in the PC version because Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, a game released five years ago (!), still has no official PC VR support, and today, the base PlayStation VR may indeed seem outdated next to, for example, the Meta Quest 2…

On the other hand, Reddit has checked Resident Evil: Village, which received an update almost two weeks ago, and the source code shows several suspicious strings after PlayStation VR: OpenVR, OculusTouch, OculusVR, OculusRemote, autoLaunchSteamVROnButtonPress… and on October 28, Capcom updated the game’s Steam tags, as they added VR. The problem is it doesn’t mean much, as Capcom added it to Resident Evil 7: Biohazard in June 2017, but nothing happened.

It’s even more common around the new Resident Evil: it showed up in May 2021 among the tags but was removed several times, and the process has been repeated a few times. Capcom must be up to something, but we have to point out that the previous episode didn’t get the VR version, either. It is not something to get too excited about, as Sony may have paid Capcom to make Resident Evil: Village VR available only on PlayStation VR2 for, say, a year and thus put it out a year and a half earlier than the earliest it could be released on PC (as we’ve just found out when PSVR2 is coming, and it’s going to cost more than the PlayStation 5!).
