Resident Evil 5 PS4 PS3

Along with Resident Evil 6, it seems Resident Evil 5 will also soon receive a native PS5 version. Just like the generally detested sixth instalment, an age rating for an Xbox Series X|S version of Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar's excursion to Africa has appeared on the ESRB website. The chances of this port being exclusive to the Microsoft consoles are extremely slim, though, so expect a PS5 version alongside it.

Both Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6 originally released for PS3, and each received a simple PS4 remaster last generation. Since then, Capcom has worked to bring its Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 remakes along with Resident Evil 7: Biohazard up to PS5 standards. It implemented PS5 DualSense controller capabilities, 120 frames-per-second, faster load times, and ray tracing support. It's expected Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6 will receive similar treatment.

Should these PS5 ports come to pass, it leaves Resident Evil Zero, the original PS1 game, and Resident Evil Code: Veronica as the only mainline entries without native versions on Sony's current-gen platform. However, all of them can still be played on PS5 via their PS4 versions through backwards compatibility.

When the game was remastered for PS4, we awarded a 6/10 rating in our Resident Evil 5 PS4 review. "Resident Evil 5 is a confounding game: it can be criticised for both mirroring its predecessor too closely and also for changing too much," we concluded. "When all's said and done, though, it's a decent romp that's brilliant when it's not bewildering – and when you consider the sheer amount of content included for the asking price, it's worth a punt. Plus, you get to punch a boulder."
