We finally have a release date for Resident Evil Village VR. The new mode of the horror game will be available on the same day as the release of PSVR2, namely February 22, 2023, announced Sony and Capcom. Better yet, the latter will be completely free already having a copy of the title.
Yesterday, Sony and Capcom released a blog post that is sure to please all Resident Evil fans. It’s been some time now that we know that the latest installment in the saga, Resident Evil Village, will be entitled to a VR mode exclusive to the PS5. We still lacked the release date and the technical details, it’s now done. Indeed, Resident Evil Village VR will be available on February 22, 2023.
If this date means something to you, it is not by chance: it is also the release date of Sony’s new VR headset, the PSVR2. In other words, you can chat in virtual reality with Lady Dimitrescu if you get your hands on the PSVR2 from day one. The icing on the cake: you won’t have to spend a penny more than the sum of the headset if you already own the game. The update will indeed be free.

It will still take 600 € to have access to this toy library.
