If Resident Evil 4 Remake is on everyone’s lips, the other games in the franchise still have plenty of fans. Capcom just made them happy by updating Resident Evil 5 on PC. And to everyone’s surprise, this small patch adds long-awaited features that have been available on consoles for years.
Certainly one of the most controversial episodes, but also one of the best-selling, Resident Evil 5 was not unanimously upon its release. Too much action, no longer scary, an unrecognizable Chris Redfield… the title has been widely criticized but is still one of the most profitable episodes of the franchise and has been remastered on PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch and the fans are still numerous in passing. In addition, while awaiting the arrival of Resident Evil 4 Remake next month, Capcom has decided to please them.
Resident Evil 5 updates for PC with a much-requested feature
Almost 14 years after its release resident evil 5 has in fact just offered a brand new update for PC. A small patch that adds local split-screen co-op, a feature that’s been present on consoles since launch but was previously absent from the PC version (although mods have been around for a long time). Players who are still playing the game should be happy, because as a bonus, the update fixes a few residual bugs here and there.

A popular episode, but also very criticized
As a reminder, this fifth work offers us to embody Chris Redfield, who has become an agent of the BSAA, and Sheva Alomar, also an expert. Both must investigate a case of bacteriological arms trafficking and strange murders wreaking havoc across Africa. But things will quickly take on enormous proportions and even threaten the world order. The game, which can be played entirely in cooperation, is primarily based on action and very Hollywood-ready scenes. That’s what he was accused of. Allegations that Resident Evil 6 made a few years later.
It is also for these reasons the long-awaited Resident Evil 4 Remake is strictly monitored. The 2005 original started this horror action game trend, but now fans are demanding a return to basics. Something Capcom promises with its next remake. So we’ll get to the bottom of it quickly Resident Evil 4 Remake is expected for March 24, 2023 on PS5, Xbox Series and PC.
