Resident Evil 7 Biohazard Gold Edition — PlayStation 5

Experience the game that redefined modern horror, now optimized for the next generation.

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard marked a terrifying shift for the storied franchise, moving from third-person action to an intimate, visceral first-person perspective. The Gold Edition on PlayStation 5 offers the definitive version of Ethan Winters’ nightmare, combining the critically acclaimed base game with all previously released DLC and technical enhancements that make the Baker plantation more haunting than ever.

The Story: Welcome to the Family

Set within a decaying plantation mansion in Dulvey, Louisiana, you play as Ethan Winters, an ordinary man searching for his missing wife, Mia. His search leads him to the derelict Baker estate, where he discovers a family twisted by a horrific infection. Unlike previous entries centered on global bio-terrorism, RE7 is a claustrophobic, "Texas Chainsaw Massacre"-inspired descent into madness where every shadow hides a threat.

What’s Included in the Gold Edition?

The Gold Edition is a complete package, ensuring you don't miss a single piece of the mystery:

• The Original Game: The full survival-horror experience.

• Banned Footage Vol. 1 & 2: A series of "found footage" scenarios and mini-games, including the brutal "Nightmare" survival mode and the twisted "Bedroom" puzzle.

• End of Zoe: A harrowing epilogue chapter where you play as Joe Baker, using visceral melee combat to save a family member.

• Not a Hero: A free story expansion featuring series veteran Chris Redfield, bridging the gap between RE7’s personal story and the wider Resident Evil universe.

PlayStation 5 Enhanced Features

The PS5 version leverages the console's hardware to heighten the immersion and tension:

• Ray Tracing: Realistic reflections and enhanced lighting make the grime and blood of the Baker house look disturbingly lifelike.

• 4K Resolution & High Framerates: Experience the horror in crisp detail with smoother performance (up to 60fps or higher in specific modes).

• DualSense™ Integration: Feel the resistance of a trigger when firing a shotgun or the subtle haptic vibrations of footsteps through the floorboards.

• 3D Audio: Use spatial audio to pinpoint exactly where Jack Baker is stomping through the walls above you.

• Fast Loading: Get back into the action—or your last save point—faster than ever thanks to the ultra-high-speed SSD.

Note for PS VR2 Owners: While the original game supported the first PS VR, please note that the PS5 version of Resident Evil 7 does not currently support PS VR2. To play in VR on PS5, you must play the backward-compatible PS4 version using the original PS VR hardware.
