PS Plus Classic Resident Evil Quietly Updated to Add a Better Version

PS Plus Premium / Deluxe classic Resident Evil Director’s Cut has received a stealth update to add a better version of the game. As reported by players in regions that were stuck with the inferior PAL version, the classic now has an option to switch regions, which allows us to play the NTSC version available in the Americas.

Sony continues to add region switching option to PS Plus classic games

As we explained when the issue first cropped up in 2022, PAL versions of classic games run slower and at lower frame rates than their NTSC counterparts, leading to players in certain regions having a poor experience. Sony pledged to roll out NTSC options where possible, and did make good on its promise.

Resident Evil Director’s Cut is the latest to receive a patch, as pointed out by Reddit user the_andshrew.

Those who are not PS Plus Premium members and were waiting for the NTSC update to drop can go ahead and make a standalone purchase from the PS Store. As a reminder, if you previously bought the game on classic consoles including PS3, PSP, or Vita, you’re entitled to a free upgrade where available. Make sure to check the game’s PS Store page while logged in, and you’ll automatically be notified if the game is available to download free of cost or not.
