Resident Evil 4 VR gets free Mercenaries update

Resident Evil 4 VR is one of the more impressive standalone Quest 2 games, offering a lengthy and complete version of the classic survival horror title reworked specifically for VR. In a surprise announcement, the game has received a free update adding the much-loved Mercenaries mode into the game.

Announced at the most recent Meta Quest Games Showcase, Capcom surprise dropped a major update to Resident Evil 4 VR, adding the wave-based game mode ‘The Mercenaries’.

Available right now for free to those who own the base game, this update lets you “Battle across four unique maps, claim your spot on the leaderboards, select your favorite character from a roster of heroes and villains, and take on 20 made-for-VR Challenges” ranging from knife-only runs to environment-altering challenges.

Last but not least, players will be able to “Unlock new enhancements to Story Mode, including unique costumes, weapon skins, and gameplay modes.”

Resident Evil 4 VR was already one of the best games available on the Quest 2, and this free update has only made it better. Hopefully Capcom continues to support the VR platform.
