Capcom’s Resident Evil 4 Remake Gold Edition on PS5 is the expanded version of the modern reworking of a landmark survival horror game. It sits alongside the recent Resident Evil remakes, competing with other big-budget action horror campaigns that mix tense exploration with punchier gunplay. You get the full main story with upgraded visuals and controls for current gen, plus extra content that rounds out the package for anyone who wants more than the core run.
Is the Gold Edition the one to buy?
If you have not played the remake yet, this is the most complete edition. Alongside the base game, it includes the Separate Ways story expansion, which adds a substantial extra campaign focused on Ada Wong and provides more context around key events. It also bundles two extra items of content, useful if you want the extras included rather than buying piecemeal.
- Base game, the full PS5 remake campaign with modernised combat and pacing
- Separate Ways DLC, extra story content with its own progression and set pieces
