If you bought Resident Evil Village, then you’ll be eligible to play multiplayer spin-off Resident Evil Re:Verse.

Pack-in game comes this summer

You've already had two chances to play the Resident Evil Village demo in the lead up to the full game's launch, but we wouldn't blame you if you passed on both opportunities.

News Resident Evil Village Has Gyro Aiming on PS5, But It's Busted
Not like this
Sony’s new DualSense controller, much like the DualShock 4, has pretty good motion sensors in it – but developers rarely use them. This is frustrating, because we’re big believers in gyro aiming: the concept of fine-tuning your shots by tilting the pad. Those who’ve experienced the feature in, say, Gravity Rush 2 and Uncharted:...
