Update: Capcom has pulled the Resident Evil Re:Verse beta down just hours after its launch on PlayStation 5 and PS4. The developer cites ongoing technical issues with matchmaking as the cause. We've also seen reports of crashing doing the rounds online.
Capcom hasn't given a timeframe for the beta's return, but seeing as it's only supposed to live for a few days (it ends this weekend), we can't imagine that it'll be gone for long. Hopefully the problems get ironed out soon.
Original Story: Well, then – the open beta for Resident Evil Re:Verse is live on PlayStation 5 and PS4 right now. You can download the client for free from the PS Store, with service scheduled to end at 11PM PDT on 10th April. The multiplayer mode – which will come bundled with the upcoming Resident Evil Village – is being billed as a celebration of Capcom’s survival horror series.
The feedback, however, is not good so far. A strange art style and unimaginative gameplay have left many pondering why the Japanese publisher persists with these experimental online spin-offs – it’s a fair point. Have you given it a spin yet? Did you need a First Aid Spray to recover from the experience? Ready up in the comments section below.

I’m trying to think of an excuse not to but all I can come up with is that it looks absolutely pants.
remember that the money they put into this could have gone into an outbreak port, not even a remake mind you, just a port with online functionality.
I’m willing to try it, but I’m not expecting much.
But why? Capcom should just add co-op to the main game rather than wasting money developing this part of the game that no one want.
Yes Capcom, THIS will be the RE multiplayer game to finally reach mainstream appeal!! Thanks for packaging it into my most anticipated Resident Evil Village, you’re too kind.
Why couldn't they just do a Raid mode with the new enemies and engine from RE2 and RE3 remake? Would have been a lot better. No one comes to RE for pvp.
Is it not right that you can turn off the comic effect art style?
I may give the beta a go. Ultimately i dont mind if this is pants. Its a free extra to village which doesn't need to be played so whats to dislike (unless it diverted resources from Village and/or other projects)
Looks like it's back to maintenance because of issues. Was playing a few minutes ago, had two games that crashed and then said it was going maintenance.
To be quite honest, it's mindless fun. It isn't great but free is free. I'm sure it'll get tiring after a while but what little I played, it's just straight to the point mindless action.
Resistance on the other hand was beyond awful. Cool concept, looked good on paper but execution was terrible.
Regardless, I would say give it a try once it's working properly. Sad to see Capcom still can't get their online stuff on point even if it's a beta. Even SFV netcode is still a** till this day.
JUST DO RAID MODE AGAIN! And Mercinaries!! Everyone loved those.
Resident Evil and too much Action never go well together.
Capcom hasn't learn ANYTHING this last decade.
Yeah, they really keep pushing this nonsense. Outbreak wasn't bad and 6 was alright matchmaking, but every other online attempt has been bad and worst of all they ruined RE3 remake to develop that extra nonsense packaged with it. They could have made RE 7 better, I'm sure and it's not even out yet.
Played for roughly half and hour last night right as it went up and, holy hell, what a complete pile. Utterly broken, ridiculously unbalanced, nigh unplayable garbage. I don't know how they managed it, but it feels as bad as Umbrella Corps.
@LiterallyDoNotCare Monster Hunter World,Rise, Re2,3 Remake, Re7 are all solid high quality games. Haven't played Dmc, but it looks good as well. You could just ignore their multiplayer projects. I'd say Capcom is doing very well.
@Amusei I said Resident Evil only.
I agree aswell
Probably best for everyone if you don’t the servers back on Capcom
@LordOfTurnips
I don't get why they don't try outbreak again now. It was a game definitely ahead of it's time and I think it would do really well now with the technology available. It could be in the new remake style but with the mechanics of the old game. I'd buy it.
This just makes me want to re:gurgitate.
Huge RE fan for decades. But this looks awful.
Just give us another Raid mode or Mercenaries. Please.
The problem I have with this, even as a free game, is the same problem I had with Resistance. It’s garage and its resources could’ve gone into the main game. In RE3’s case, it needed it bc it potentially could’ve been fantastic with more content.
If Capcom wants a successful co-op RE, scroll to the posts above which is what people want.
Looking like another multiplayer Ressident Evil flop for Capcom. This thing is ****ing awful, don't even bother trying it. It'll just make your day worse, and if you're on PS5 good luck removing this absolute whale vomit from your collection.
Who saw this coming?
Capcom, delete this.
Hard pass, wake me up when they reveal Revelations 3 or officially announce RE4 Remake.
