Resident Evil Village VR coming free to PSVR2 owners at launch

...provided you own Village on PS5, that is.

The Resident Evil Village VR mode will head to PSVR2 users at launch, and for free.

There’s a small catch, of course: the free mode will be part of Resident Evil Village proper, meaning you’ll need to own the title to be able to play the VR mode.

“A deeper and more captivating adventure awaits with PlayStation VR2, as Ethan Winters’ journey takes full advantage of the headset’s advanced features,” reads a press release.

“VR Mode utilizes the 4K HDR display, eye tracking, and 3D audio to make Resident Evil Village more realistic and intense than ever.”

The PSVR2’s new Sense controllers will also play a big part in the experience, Capcom continued.

“[The Sense controllers] represent Ethan’s famously resilient hands and allow intuitive actions to be performed in-game,” Capcom continued.

“Players can hold up their arms to guard against enemies that get too close for comfort. Weapons all feel tangibly more realistic in VR Mode with new gameplay elements that dial up the immersion, such as dual wielding and natural motion controls for reloading firearms and brandishing knives.”

Resident Evil Village is out now on Windows PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, PS4 and PS5. It heads to PSVR2 on 22 February 2023.
