Soundtrack Swap, and the Treasure Map: Expansion.

Those deciding which platform to purchase the Resident Evil 4 remake on should note that the game is basically the same across PC, PS5, and Xbox, with the exception of one big benefit when it comes to the PlayStation version of the game. Resident Evil 4 remake on PS5 has a free VR mode that lets fans play through the entire game in virtual reality. Capcom previously released a dedicated Resident Evil 4 VR game that earned high praise, and so anyone needing a high-quality experience for their PlayStation VR2 headset may want to get the game on PS5 instead of PC or Xbox.
