Thesurvival horror gameremake is priced respectfully. It costs $59.99 across all platforms, including PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.

The deal is for 15% off of the digital Steam version of theResident Evil 4remake, bringing the price down from $59.99 to $50.99, a deal that almost never happens for major releases – let alone major releases that have yet to even launch. The deal won’t last long, however. It should end sometime around 4:30 PM PDT/7:30 PM EDT, so potentialResident Evil 4buyers shouldn’t wait long.
Fanatical isn’t limiting its 15% discount to justResident Evil 4’s standard edition, either. TheDeluxe Edition of theResident Evil 4remakeis also being discounted 15%, dropping from $69.99 down to $59.49. The Deluxe Edition ofResident Evil 4includes both the base game and an extra DLC pack. The DLC pack includes multiple extra costumes, filters, weapon skins, an in-game soundtrack swap, and a treasure map.
Purchases of either the standard edition or the Deluxe Edition ofResident Evil 4will also include the game’s pre-purchase DLC. The pre-order bonus for the game includes two Attache Case skins and two weapon charms. It’s not much, but it could add a bit of personality to theResident Evil 4experience.
