Resident Evil Village was updated this week to add PSVR2 support – you’ll even see a little headset icon next to the game’s name – but you will have to jump through some extra hoops to play. Unlike the unbelievable Gran Turismo 7, which will work automatically with Sony’s next-gen headset once updated, Capcom’s survival horror requires a separate download.
Don’t worry, though – it’s free. If you head to the game’s DLC section, you’ll spot a 783MB download for the PSVR2 mode, which you’ll need to ensure is installed before immersing yourself in the release’s world. One caveat is that you can’t pick up an existing save; you need to start a new campaign in virtual reality, which is a little bit of a shame.
Nevertheless, the experience is seriously impressive based on our first impressions, and it’s wild to see these full-length PS5 games adding flawless virtual reality modes. Will you be tiptoeing your way through Village on PSVR2 launch day, or are you a bit of a scaredy-cat? Try not to jump in the comments section below.

Well that explains why I couldn't find the option to play it.
Thanks for the heads-up.
Greatest addition to the game. Spooky times are laying in front of me. I hope I can stand it.
Thanks for the heads up. I’m going to try this next and wouldn’t have spotted that.
I've just had a very brief go of it in the training area and it looks cool and also had some paddling in Kayak VR which was very impressive. Just a shame I had to put the controllers on charge
My headset should be delivered by february 27th, after having showned february 24th. Hope the former date is still possible personnaly. And who will have the "chance" to review it at Pushsquare, is that you @get2sammyb (among your 10 billion PSVR2 reviews)? Whoever it is, for confort and comparison sakes, don't forget to try standing and sitted modes, the standing one beeing my preference for RE7 on PSVR, it should be the same with that one. And on that confort topic, I wonder if Ethan and ennemies speed will stay the same as they are easely twice as fast in Village as anything in RE7. Some apprehension could build up at some key moments, without spoiling anything...
Thanks for the headsup.
Planned to be the third game I play. Hopefully tonight!
Mines just arrived woop woop
Unit came today. Was shipped with my controller charging dock although the charging dock was "out for delivery" and my PSVR2 unit tracking still says "preparing to be shipped"... if your in the same situation, keep the faith. Glad the Village VR update is a small one. Giving me something to play until Horizon downloads. Village is looking and playing great although I'll need to take a break in a minute to recharge the pesky controllers which had about 5% charge on them when they arrived.
@carlos82 same. Can't wait for the full charge.
It’s amazing but annoying playing sat down as you can’t reach the holster for guns!!
@Styledvinny79
My ceiling is quite low, so for some games I might try kneeling, lol.
@Styledvinny79 I didn't have any issues with the guns but getting that flashlight out of my jacket was a pain, lol
I love my PS5 but there are so many unnecessary and fiddly things when it comes to free downloads and upgrades.
Didn't know this was day 1. I actual struggled with RE7 VR.. because it scares the absolute #$%* out of me, I'd actually scream out loud and be drenched in sweat. Nothing had ever done that to me before as I was mostly unaffected by horror.
@__jamiie I mean it just a couple button presses. PC would be a nightmare for you.
Does the VR update have new trophies?
@DestructionAllstars But consoles are supposed to be straightforward and user friendly. My RE2 and 3 PS5 upgrades wouldn't install unless I put the disc back in. It showed me that I could pay money for the upgrades with no option for it to be free. I guarantee that some people didn't read the tiny small print and paid money for them. It's just unnecessary.
@AdamantiumPriest apparently not. A shame tbh, but I'll still give it a try soon.
Downloaded the demo but Horror by far is my weakest genre. I just cant stomach the scares much to my wifes entertainment. Its a shame tho as i feel im missing out on some real corkers. I just cant handle it tho.
@get2sammyb
Phenomenal game, but this being classified as a separate mode, despite being the exact same game, means YOU CANNOT EARN TROPHIES IN THIS MODE. Didn’t realise until a couple of hours in and now I’m gutted. No interest in playing without trophies, and even less interest in disabling myself and playing on a depthless and distant screen. Hopefully Capcom sort this out, but you really need to highlight this in an article or the review because people like me who bought this game simply for VR and need trophy support feel incredibly cheated. I’m sure there are at least 10 of us.
@thefourfoldroot1 Yeah I don't know why they did that either.
@get2sammyb
I’m hoping the list just isn’t live yet. There was a notice at the beginning saying something about a separate save and trophies but I didn’t really pay attention. It didn’t say no trophies were available and I had no previous save so I didn’t think it would impact me. I’m thinking they would have just flat out said no trophy support if it wasn’t planned.
