During Capcom’s Tokyo Game Show presentation, the company gave us another look at Resident Evil Village: Gold Edition and announced a new platform for Resident Evil 4‘s remake. Capcom confirmed that the upcoming Resident Evil 4 remake is coming to PlayStation 4.

The game was revealed at a PlayStation State of Play presentation earlier this year, but was only confirmed for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Interestingly, Capcom noted that the game was coming to PS4 but did not mention Microsoft’s last-gen system, the Xbox One. We reached out to Capcom and asked about a potential Xbox One version, but a Capcom representative told Digital Trends that “Capcom hasn’t made any other statements about platforms for RE4.”

The Shadows of Rose DLC takes place 16 years after the events of Resident Evil Village. It follows Rose, who is Village protagonist Ethan Winters’s daughter. The DLC will be in third-person, which is a departure from the base game’s first-person perspective. Rose has special ice powers that she can use to freeze her enemies. The Winters’ expansion is part of Resident Evil Village: Gold Edition, which arrives on October 28 and includes the Shadows of Rose story DLC, the new content for Mercenaries mode, and a third-person mode for the base game.

Alongside the expansion’s release comes the launch of Resident Evil Village Gold Edition, which bundles all of the game’s content and adds a wolf hoodie costume for Rose. Resident Evil Village is also releasing on Nintendo Switch via a cloud version on the same day, with the Winters’ expansion coming to the platform on December 2. Capcom also showed off some gameplay of Resident Evil Village‘s other modes and new platforms. New stages and characters were already announced for Mercenaries mode, but we got a first look at Lady Dimitrescu and Heisenberg’s gameplay from a first-person perspective, as well as a short teaser of the base game on PlayStation VR2.

The game can also be played on Macs with M1 and M2 chips, which was previously announced at WWDC earlier this year.

Sony’s wild PSN login patent could turn the DualSense into a security gatekeeper
A newly published filing outlines controller-based sign-ins for PlayStation users, aiming to make stolen accounts harder to exploit.

Sony has filed a PSN login patent, first spotted by RespawnFirst, that would pull the DualSense controller into the sign-in process. A PlayStation console would start the request, then the controller would help confirm that the account holder is close enough to approve access.

For players, the appeal is easy to see. PSN account abuse can lead to unauthorized purchases, lost access, and attempts to resell established accounts. Sony already offers 2-step verification and passkeys, but this idea adds a hardware check to the login chain.

This study found a surprising mental health perk hiding in your game library
Researchers surveyed 2,252 adults and found that specific game genres, not gaming in general, line up with lower loneliness and stronger emotional resilience.

A new study has found that adults who play certain video games report feeling less lonely and more emotionally resilient than people who don't play games at all. The findings challenge the idea that gaming is just a way to escape from real life and instead tie specific kinds of games to real, measurable shifts in how people cope with stress and isolation.

GTA 6 may be far away, so Rockstar gave GTA 5 a fresh coat of paint
Grand Theft Auto 5

With Grand Theft Auto 6 now just months away, Rockstar Games is giving longtime Grand Theft Auto 5 players a reason to revisit Los Santos. The company has announced that owners of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of GTA 5 will receive a free upgrade to the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of the game.

The move comes as Rockstar ramps up excitement for GTA 6, which is currently scheduled to launch on November 19 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles. Previously, upgrading from the older console versions to the current-generation release required a separate purchase, typically costing around $10. Beginning Thursday, however, eligible players will be able to move to the newer version at no additional cost.
