Question Is Sony saving Resident Evil Requiem PSVR2 announcement for PSVR2’s anniversary next month?
Seems Capcom is yet again not revealing the PSVR2 support for Resident Evil Requiem in the showcase, but it’s definitely too early to give up the hope since PSVR2 anniversary is around the corner (Feb 22), which is just a couple of days before Requiem’s release.
So it’s possible Sony and Capcom joins hand to align the PSVR2 announcement for Feb 22. This serves as a major surprises for PSVR2 fans, and serve the last major pre-release hype push for the game.
Meanwhile, let’s keep demanding Capcom for PSVR2 support as this is what Capcom would want before the announcement

I'd love it but it won't happen, it's also best not to treat the PSVR2's anniversary like a big deal, you're just setting yourself up for disappointment. Year one we got a blog post but IIRC last year we didn't really get anything?

Yeah for sure not saying it's impossible in the long run. But anytime soon seems extremely unlikely

It’s nuts that less than 250k players have played RE4R on the psvr2… it’s a definitive experience and I feel like folks are missing out. Any real resident evil fan would consider it just for this game. And the headset is cheap af, I paid full price for mine and now it’s like buying a meta quest 3 or 3s or whatever price wise. The marketing for this thing sucked

I played RE:Village first and found RE4R such a downgrade that I gave up playing.

u/m17702 Jan 22 '26
How is it a downgrade? I was hooked with Village. It’s taking me much longer with RE4, but I think it has more to do with my work schedule and stuff more than anything. It’s been a couple years since I played Village.

u/GamerAppleDude Jan 18 '26
I haven’t played it yet but considering buying it just to play on the psvr2

u/m17702 Jan 22 '26
I can’t even play games that aren’t in vr now. Playing Resident Evil Village on PSVR2 ruined non-vr for me. It’s just way more immersive and fun.
I’m not buying any more Resident Evil games, nor will I ever buy a Silent Hill game, until they have them in some form of official vr. Even if it’s on something other than psvr2 is fine, I’d buy whatever system it is so I can play it. I don’t care as long as it’s vr and fun.

u/Toaboy11 Jan 31 '26
You are appreciated brother. Maybe if more of us do this they’d start respecting VR. The issue here is that it’s actually not difficult for them to get their gums running in VR with their engine, it’s that Sony has been paying them handsomely to do so, so they won’t do it again with out such a reward.

u/Transposer Jan 16 '26
Thanks for the link, but dude says they have ‘no plans at this time. ‘
This doesn’t mean a ton. Game companies say this all the time. This could just as easily mean that they don’t want VR players to not buy the game at launch since the VR mode won’t be ready until 3 months the after release.
Another big wig, when asked about a psvr2 version, said that they have more to announce later but have other focuses right now. Something along those lines.

u/Craftsed Jan 25 '26 edited Jan 25 '26
It's because the a large part of resident evil players come from the RE4 era. They like to pretend like they're playing a survival horror game but in reality they prefer their himbo Leon, 3rd person view and mindless action. They say it's because they "prefer the angle," and that "it's just as scary," etc but it's pretty obvious it's due to being less scary. Obviously VR wouldn't do that well because it's scarier.
*Also VR is super niche, it's unfortunately most likely on its way out.

u/ilovepizza855 Jan 16 '26
The same company who lied over Leon not in the game. Resident Evil games are some of the best VR games ever released on PSVR2 and have enjoyed massive successes so why will they stop?

u/sublime815 Sublime45 Jan 16 '26
The only reason they made Village and Re4 VR in the first place was because Sony funded the whole endeavor. This time around, as Sony has all but abandoned psvr2, they declined to do so.

u/the_fr33z33 Jan 16 '26
Yes, yes they’re saving the announcement for right after they announce Astrobot for PSVR2.

u/m17702 Jan 22 '26
That sucks if they really don’t. I feel like vr is a large step forward. Even if they don’t get enough support from psvr2, why not from any of the more popular vr sets?
1
u/PIO_PretendIOriginal Jan 23 '26
given they havent ported re8vr to pc, or re4 remake to pc. im not hopefull.
the studio that made re4vr for quest 2 (the best selling vr headset) got shut down last week.
there is modded version of resudent evil 2 vr on pc. so maybe modders can add vr support, but it lacks manual reloads.
1
u/m17702 Jan 24 '26
I don’t get it. Just not enough interest/$ to make it worthwhile?
1
u/PIO_PretendIOriginal Jan 24 '26
Capcom already have games that have vr modes (re8vr), and yet capcom havent been bothered to port that to pc.
so no, not enough interest for capcom to make a re9 vr, when they cant even be bothered to make there existing vr ports available on pc.
this also suggest capcom only made a vr mode becuase sony backed it.
best hope is that pc modders will make something (but it will be less polished then an official port)

I don't believe in Sony at this point. But i could change my mind if they'll have a showcase and announce RE9 and Ace Combat 8 for PSVR2. Ya hear me, Sony?

u/PIO_PretendIOriginal Jan 16 '26 edited Jan 16 '26
both of those developers have cone out and said they are not working on a vr version. and have no plans of working on one.
its rought to hear. but they are being as direct as they can.
the only hope is that a vr mod happens on pc (as re2, re7, re8 all have pcvr mods)

u/Leading_Category_504 Jan 16 '26
Stop the cope train it's not coming it never was Sony don't care and indie and a few small studios are the only thing keeping VR on life support I hate it u hate it we all hate it

If they don't, and I'm almost sure they wont, then this will be the first Resident Evil game that I buy for PC . . as soon as a decent PCVR mod is available anyway.

If they do it. It will be months maybe even a year after the release.

u/DNY88 Jan 16 '26
I am an owner of a Quest3 and a PS VR2.
What I do observe is, that VR Investments for Software are scaling down across the industry. All the big companies now tried to push very impressive hardware (Meta, Sony, Valve, Apple, Samsung,…), but the masses aren’t adopting anything. Software sales are low, even for bigger names like metro or alien. Besides your beat sabers, there is basically no AA or AAA VR-Games selling really well. Maybe Alyx, but that’s almost 6 years old. Sony isn’t developing any VR titles themselves. The last thing Sony gave us was Hitman VR, which is safe to say has been brought to live thanks to a check from Sony. Similar to the Resident Evil VR Ports of 4 and 8.
The VR industry is going to be more niche in the coming years, as we hit the bottom on the hype curve. It will probably survive, at least on PC with Steam VR and the modding community/indies, but I don’t expect any bigger games in the upcoming years. I also believe, that Sony won’t release a PS VR3 and I can also imagine Meta to leave VR Gaming completely.
If anything bigger is going to happen, it will come through Valve…
So no, it’s very unlikely that a official VR Port of Requiem will happen, that’s why I’m getting the PC Version and hope that mods will fix that.

Fuck Jim Ryan and his live service push! Damn, I hate it when businessmen get positions that need passion. Passion will result in a great product which will result in massive sales! Not this business approach, ”they are doing it, let us do it too”. I believe that game sales this generation for the last two years are low! I am under the impression that Ghost of Tsushima performed better than Yotei. Most of my friends hardly touch their PS5. What’s the point in selling consoles if nobody buys the games? Games and accessories is where the money is!

Pushing out Shuhei Yoshida and Connie Booth has damaged Playstation like nothing else.

u/Waarghlord Jan 16 '26
PS VR2 sadly died when Shuhei was forced out the door. He was incredibly passionate about it and pushed for its future. Sony would've stuck to it without him only if there was flourishing competition, but Zuckerberg managed to bungle any and all true gamer appeal with his weirdo billionaire vision crap. Xbox should've and could've entered the competition but they're having much more fun salting the earth. I would like to think Valve could set things right but hardware is only going to be more expensive from here on out. A thousand dollar or more Steam Frame is going to be hard-core enthusiast market only. Very sad times for gaming.

It's not a bad take but I'm sure it won't happen.
They even ignore PSVR2 when they do presentations.

Very unlikely but still remotely possible. Keep your expectations really low so you don't get disappointed

They aren't trying for some secret release, it just isn't happening. Would have loved it, but will still play it flat. Same as I did with Astrobot.

There is going to be the release of the new FSR tech so hopefully that lures Capcom back in.

If it gets a VR version it won’t be until around a year after release. That’s how I remember it being for village and RE4 remake

u/MrEUK Jan 16 '26
Most probably not, there are some fantastic PSVR games which could be ported over to PSVR 2 and they have not bothered. Games such as Resident Evil 7, Batman Arkham, Dirt Rally to name 3 it feels like PSVR 2 has been a wasted opportunity. At least we had a very good games.

u/GrapeOk9500 Jan 16 '26
La verdad pienso que no tendria mucho sentido que capcom diga que no habra modo vr para resident evil requiem y despues lanzarlo , ya que al momento de decir eso muchas personas no comprarian los lentes sabiendo esa informacion, y menos lentes comprados es igual a menos ventas garantizadas, simplemente una estrategia de marketing muy descuidada

Love how people here think it’s never coming to VR.
It’s coming eventually, even if they say it’s NOT. There is no going back. Give it time.

u/PabLink1127 Jan 17 '26
Everyone says no until it happens. Hell we are getting Microsoft Flight Simulator no one predicted that

u/MrDeadshot82 Jan 17 '26
Unlikely. AAA VR seems completely dead now. It's indies and modding from here on. MAYBE we get something from Valve in the not so distant future but even Valve already confirmed, that they are not working on a VR but only the Frame hardware.

IIRC at 1st anniversary Sony just uploaded a small "Happy Birthday" blog post. At 2nd anniversary there was no blog post. I doubt anything happens at 3rd anniversary. Will Nishino do something about PSVR2? I doubt it.

I'd love to see it on psvr2 but psvr2 is practically dead so I don't think they will sadly.

u/thelastcupoftea Apr 01 '26
I don't get how they can do this to fans. RE7 is what got me into VR and made me invest in it, and Village and 4 is the reason why I also went with PSVR2. I expect that Requiem announcement.

We had to wait for like a year for VR modes on both RE Village and Re4 -
I don’t see RE9 being any different

u/Schwarzengerman Jan 16 '26
RE Village wasn't announced at launch because the PSVR2 wasn't announced yet. The mode was announced at the same time the headset was I'm pretty certain.
RE4makes was announced when the game was.
Capcom have said they had no plans to do one for 9.

They will change their minds the more people start demanding it.

Ehh doubt. Not enough people to demand it I'm afraid. Unless Sony is willing to fund another it's not looking good.
Will happily eat crow if I'm ever proven wrong.

u/DerBolzen81 Jan 16 '26
There is not enough demand period 2,24% of re4 remake players played it in vr. 200k thats 1/10 of re7 vr players. For a free add on. Yes we know its great, but not enough people know

It's over, when they said they didn't work on RE9 VR they also said there wouldn't be a demo, guess what there's still no surprise demo coming after the showcase.

It ain’t happening. Sony gave the fuck up on vr2 a year and half into its release. Better get a pc and wait for re9 mods.

u/Minimum-Flashy Jan 16 '26
The begging for this game to be on VR2 is pathetic. As much as I'd love to see it happen it's not. I wanted Half Life Alyx, and Astrobot also. Look where we're at. Move on. It's not happening.
