Resident Evil Village VR may be heading to PC too

Resident Evil 7 was one of the few major releases to get PlayStationVR support back in the day. Unfortunately, the PC version of the game never received a VR update, but Capcom might be looking to make things right with Resident Evil Village. 

Resident Evil Village is getting a VR version for PlayStation VR2. This time around though, it might not be a full exclusive. In a recent update to Resident Evil Village for PC, dataminers found new code strings pointing to PC VR headset support.

As found by u/LitheBeep on Reddit, Resident Evil Village on PC now contains strings for OpenVR, SteamVR and a few popular PC-only virtual reality headsets, like the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive.

Whether or not Resident Evil 7 will get similar treatment still remains to be seen. For now, Resident Evil Village VR has only been announced for PlayStation VR2.

KitGuru Says: VR strings like this have existed in other games before too, but it doesn't always lead to an announcement or an official release. Still, it would be a shame to see Capcom pass up PC VR support for a second time. Hopefully sometime after the PS VR2 version arrives, we'll get confirmation on an update for the PC version.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
