4 Classic Resident Evil Games Set to Invade PS5 and Xbox Series X!

Summary

  • ESRB ratings hint at native releases for Resident Evil games on PS5 and Xbox Series X.
  • Games include Resident Evil 6, Resident Evil 4 HD, and Origins Collection.
  • Backward compatibility allows playing these Resident Evil games on new consoles without waiting for ports.

According to the latest ESRB ratings, there are indications that four classic Resident Evil games might be coming out as native versions for PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles. This long-running gaming franchise, known as Resident Evil, has been a fan favorite since its debut in the 90s, with Capcom consistently releasing new games, ports, remasters, and remakes over the years.

Due to these endeavors, most primary Resident Evil series games can now run on contemporary equipment, even if not optimally. For instance, the original Resident Evil 2 hasn’t been ported to consoles yet, but its remake is easily accessible. However, there are still several Resident Evil games that don’t have native versions for the latest hardware, but it seems like we can expect updates soon.

A recent sighting of an ESRB rating for Resident Evil 6 on Xbox Series X has stirred talk that the game, known for its contentious nature, might eventually appear on PS5 and Xbox Series X. Interestingly, similar ESRB listings have been found for other Resident Evil games such as the HD remaster of the original Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil Origins Collection (which includes the HD remasters of both the Resident Evil remake and Resident Evil Zero). This could imply that these games are poised for native launches on contemporary systems, though only time will confirm this. It’s puzzling that the ESRB ratings only reference Xbox Series consoles but not PS5, but unless a unique exclusivity agreement is in place, it would be unusual for the series to bypass one platform over another.

Resident Evil Games Rumored for PS5 and Xbox Series X

  • Resident Evil Zero HD Remaster
  • Resident Evil HD Remaster
  • Resident Evil 4 HD
  • Resident Evil 6

On January 23rd, there’s an anticipated Xbox Developer Direct event, and it’s rumored that a Japanese video game franchise with a long history could be unveiled then. Some believe the series might be “Resident Evil,” but it’s more plausible that the mystery game from the Xbox Developer Direct is actually published by Square Enix. So, enthusiasts should stay tuned to the show on January 23rd at 10am PST for the confirmation.

In the interim, players not concerned with native versions of the Resident Evil games should be aware that they are already playable on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S systems. This is due to backward compatibility, allowing gamers to buy and enjoy all these Resident Evil titles on the newest equipment without needing to wait for new adaptations.
