Key Takeaways

  • The Resident Evil 4 remake has received a new patch enabling PS5 Pro support.

  • The PS5 Pro’s high framerate mode for the Resident Evil 4 remake hovers between 95fps and 120fps.

As a long-time fan of Resident Evil, I must say that Capcom has truly outdone themselves with the PS5 Pro enhancements for the Resident Evil 4 remake. Having played the game on various platforms over the years, the smooth and silky performance at 4K 60fps is nothing short of a dream come true.


Capcom has rolled out a fresh update for the classic game, Resident Evil 4, specifically designed to incorporate the PlayStation 5 Pro enhancements as previously announced. Although Capcom hasn’t yet disclosed the specifics of these improvements, users of the PS5 Pro have shared that the game runs flawlessly on the new console.

In March 2023, the reimagined version of “Resident Evil 4” was introduced and has since seen remarkable success. Recently, Capcom announced that this remake has sold over eight million copies, marking one of their quickest-selling titles. The achievements of Capcom’s revamped “Resident Evil” games have encouraged other publishers like Konami to follow suit with their classic horror series, such as the recent release of the remake for “Silent Hill 2”. Given the popularity of “Resident Evil 4”, it’s no wonder that Capcom has optimized it for the PS5 Pro.

With over 50 other games, the Resident Evil 4 remake now joins the lineup of titles optimized for the PlayStation 5 Pro at launch. The latest patch, version 1.400, has been released and can be downloaded for free on both PS5 and PS5 Pro. Capcom hasn’t yet disclosed a detailed list of changes, but it’s known that the Resident Evil 4 remake will benefit from higher frame rates, ultra-high resolutions, and improved visual effects on the PS5 Pro. However, specific details about graphic modes are still pending.

Resident Evil 4 Remake is a Silky Smooth 4K 60fps Experience on PS5 Pro

However, preliminary testing from PS5 Pro users has provided a clearer image of how the Resident Evil 4 remake performs on the beefier machine. A recent performance comparison from YouTuber Brazil Pixel between the PS5 and PS5 Pro versions of Resident Evil 4 shows that the remake achieves a locked 60fps at a native 4K (3840×2160) resolution on the new console, that too with ray tracing and hair effects on. The PS5 version of the Resident Evil 4 remake, meanwhile, hovers around 55fps at the same settings. Brazil Pixel uploaded a separate video where they turned off the Resident Evil 4 remake’s ray tracing and hair effects and reduced the resolution to 1080p, resulting in the framerate rising to 95-120fps.

It’s clear that the remake of Resident Evil 4 significantly improves its performance due to the enhanced capabilities of the PlayStation 5 Pro. Although the 120fps mode may have some wobbliness, the stable 60fps performance at high settings should more than suffice for most PlayStation 5 Pro users.
