Resident Evil 4 Remake is coming out in about two months, and the nature of its release seems to be causing some confusion, especially when it comes to Xbox platforms.
You see, Capcom has opted to leave the Xbox One behind for this one, yet RE4 Remake is still hitting the PlayStation 4. So, it's kind of cross-gen, but kind of not at the same time, and we're starting to see some stores falsely advertise the game as an Xbox One title.
Over on Reddit, one user has spotted Resident Evil 4 at a local Smyths store (a chain retailer in the UK), and the store's placeholder box art says that the game is coming to both Xbox Series X and Xbox One.
Now, this is just a placeholder box of course, but still, we'd hate to see folks pick this up and then not be able to play it on their console, which would be the case for Xbox One players here.
Amazon UK has a similar issue on its hands, although it's perhaps even more confusing. Amazon's listing says "Xbox Series X S" in the title, but the product selection box states "Xbox One / Series X" as the platforms.
To be clear, Resident Evil 4 Remake is not coming to Xbox One, so don't let these listings fool you. Hopefully, retailers can iron this out before the game hits Xbox Series X and S on March 24th.

I still can't decide if I should be getting this close to launch. I played through 4 a few years back, and I'm not sure what you can add to the game to make it worth getting, especially at full price. It already looked good, played perfectly, and was over the shoulder camera view.
Still bizzare to me that Xbone isn't getting RE4. 😳🤔
Very strange decision to support one last gen platform but not the other. That said, this seems kind of incompetent from the retailers, unless they received misleading information internally?
I am on the fence if i want to get this game or not. I am not the biggest Horror fan of anything really. But early PS1 and PS2 years i really like the Resident Evil series of games. 4 was a really fun game for me and i got it on the GameCube cause i needed all the games i could get for the platform. My interest level is 50/50 on this and it might just come down to reviews or someone on here saying it’s a can’t miss game. I have nothing else to play in March so it has that going for itself.
I'm confused why it's coming to PS4 then? Why not just focus on the PS5 and the Series X?
@Romans12 outside of some weird money games, the only reason I can think off is the "Cyberpunk thing" and the base X1 wont run the game well enough to risk the bad PR of crappy screen shots being shared online.
Gonna be a skip from me. They've shown nothing on the VR wise aside from using the trash Sony headset that connects via cable.
It’s odd they are not supporting Xbox One but are putting it on the PS4. I guess because it has a bigger selling base? I have a Series X so it won’t affect me, but I do feel for those who still have the One and haven’t upgraded yet.
@EvilSilentFrame eh, S are so cheap there is so little reason not to have one. Heck, the game itself is like 20% of console price.
Will definitely pick it up at some point, not sure if i'll save for Halloween. We have dead space soon too
@itslarryyo S is cheap compared to many of the systems out right now, though there are some out there that have to watch their money as gaming is more of a “luxury.” Though I have a Series X, I can look at somebody like my kids. They both have a One and don’t have any desire to upgrade to the newer ones. They’ve had the option to, they just don’t. Mostly because they like the free to play games like Fortnight and spend the money they would have spent to upgrade to a new system on something stupid like skins. I’ll never understand their mentality on that. I wanted the better quality so when it was available, I went out and got it.
@NintendoByNature are you serious dude? ITS A REMAKE! do you know what a remake is? If not I totally suggest you look that up before making silly comments like that man...
@Fartknocker89 sorry brother, didn't mean to offend you. Sounds like i struck a nerve with you and that wasnt my intent, nor am i trolling.
It's really not all that silly. The original is damn near perfect and for the most part, plays like a modern game. There's nothing I'd change about it.
In the case of RE2 and RE3 remakes, those definitely make sense and add an entirely new camera view and it plays completely different than their original counterparts.
This on the other hand looks like it's fairly closer to the original than the 2 I just mentioned. That's my point is all. How much can they add to make this feel different than the game I just played a few years ago. Didn't mean to ruin your night 😉
Hey man I didn't mean to come across so upset, and listen IM WITH YOU resident evil 4 is my absolute favorite game all time...I have beat the game so many times I can literally beat certain areas blindfolded as long as I have sound or headphones...this game is my everything and it holds such a special place in my heart....listen you would find no bigger skeptic or critic of the re4 remake at first I was PISSED..I was like man why are they touching my favorite game in the world its PERFECTION it doesn't need a remaster! Trust me bro I was truly angry at first, but man after I saw the trailer on ign.....dude I became a believer! Man if you haven't already, go watch the ign 5 minute extended gameplay on ign dude... nothing will ever replace the orginal re4 ps2 version for me, but I'm excited to see the remake...you should check it out man
