Resident Evil 6 Has Been Rated For Xbox Series
As reported byVGC, the worstResident Evilgame of all-time, which wasso badthat it forced Capcom to completely uproot the series with a soft reboot five years later, might finally make a grand return with an Xbox Series X/S port.
That’s according toa new ESRB rating, which lists Resident Evil 6 for “Xbox Series”. It doesn’t mention PS5, though it’s probably safe to assume that a current-gen port would encompass both consoles.
Resident Evil 6 first launched in 2012 for Xbox 360 and PS3, but it was ported to Xbox One and PS4 just three years later. That means you can play it on current-gen consoles right now thanks to the in-built backwards compatibility.
You can pick up Resident Evil 6 for £15.99,if you really want to. Alternatively, you could get Resident Evil 4, 7, or the first game.
A dedicated PS5 and Xbox Series X/S port could offer further graphical improvements, and it would likely include all DLC by default (something that the 2019 Nintendo Switch port did).
That same Switch port also included Resident Evil 5, so perhaps both co-op games will get a new lick of paint for current-gen. Right now, though, only Resident Evil 6 has been rated by the ESRB, and only for Xbox Series. It’s likely that Capcom’s submission is still being rated, and we’ll see PS5 included soon, but for now, nothing has been confirmed.
