Resident Evil 6 PS5

Capcom is preparing a native PS5 version of Resident Evil 6 if new ESRB age ratings are to be believed. The outlet has a new listing for an "Xbox Series" version of the game (spotted by VGC), suggesting current-gen ports are on the way, with a PS5 port almost certainly included.

Following efforts in recent years, much of the mainline Resident Evil series is available to play natively on PS5. Capcom ported Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 7: Biohazard to the system a few years ago, and Resident Evil Village and Resident Evil 4 were on PS5 from day one.

Besides the very first game and Resident Evil Zero, it's just Resident Evil 5 and the Resident Evil 6 in question that aren't on the hardware natively — they can all still be played via backwards compatibility, however.

When Resident Evil 2, 3, and 7 were all brought to PS5, they received very basic remasters that included support for the PS5 DualSense controller, 120 frames-per-second, faster load times, and ray tracing support. It's possible Resident Evil 6 will receive the same sort of treatment.

Widely regarded as the worst mainline entry in the Resident Evil franchise, we gave Resident Evil 6 a 3/10 rating when it was ported to PS4 in early 2016. "You can't polish a turd, and Resident Evil 6 is proof. This remaster may look the part at points, but its limp collection of lacklustre campaigns will leave you feeling dead inside," we concluded. It hasn't gotten any better since then.
