For PlayStation 5 players, all three titles also feature engaging DualSense™ support for Haptic Feedback and Adaptive Triggers.

An upgrade patch will also be available at no additional cost for PC users.
Resident Evil 7 is one of the best-selling games in the series with more than 10 million copies sold. It is closely followed by Resident Evil 2 Remake and while RE3 Remake wasn’t that big of a success, it still managed to sell more than 4 million copies.
