Resident Evil 4fans have been surprised with a patch for the critically acclaimed remake, a year on from the game’s last update.
Since 2019,Capcomhas been knocking it out of the park with itsResident Evilremakes, long after the amazingNintendoGameCube remake of 2002. We’ve, of course, had new standalone entries such as 2017’sRE7: Biohazardand 2021’sRE Village, but there’s something uniquely special about a heavy dose of nostalgia that only remakes can bring.
Check out theResident Evil 4remake trailer below!
In ourreview ofResident Evil 4, we said: “The gameplay is better than in the original title - even with its limitations - while the changes and new additions bring a new lease of life of their own.”

Aside from the well-received Capcom remakes, we know that anew Resident Evil gameis on the way, rumoured to starLeon S. Kennedy and Jill Valentineas playable characters for the very first time in a video game.
There are also rumours that new remakes are on the way, which should come as no surprise when you consider Capcom’s recent success. It’s up in the air which games in the series will be remade but it seems thatResident Evil Code: VeronicaandResident Evil 5are leading the pack.
In the meantime though, we can return toResident Evil 4to enjoy its latest update.

In fact, there are no details on exactly what this patch does.
Not even the official Resident Evil Twitter account has tweeted about the patch nor have the patch notes beenupdated onResidentEvil.com, which is very strange.
All we know right now is that the patch is exclusive to PlayStation 5 and having just downloaded it, I can confirm it comes in at just under 609MB. It might be safe to assume that the update is beneficial for PS5 Pro consoles and could improve stability across the board as well as fix reported bugs.
Hopefully, Capcom will release the patch notes soon. TheResident Evil 4remake is out now on PC, PlayStation, Xbox and compatible Apple devices.
