Exciting news! Capcom has set up a surprise release following its 2023 Spotlight stream, and we now all have a chance to play Resident Evil 4 PC Demo to our heart's content!

Now, while you can run to get the demo right away, it's going to pay off if you read through this short summary, too.

Why You Need to Play Resident Evil 4 PC Demo

Everyone and their mum knows by now that game demos are a lost art in 2023. The vast majority of gaming companies simply don't bother with them, and even when they do, the final product is fairly subpar. At most, they give you an idea of what the game is about and, sometimes, a taste of what's to come. We're thrilled to report that Capcom didn't take the easy way out with the Resident Evil 4 Chainsaw Demo.

What we've got here is, pretty much, a tiny vertical slice of the actual game. Featuring a bit of exploration, a bunch of combat, and a tantalizing amount of hype. Even as a standalone product, it's deeply satisfying and a stellar way of coming to terms with RE4R, if you've been skeptical up until now.

For fans of the franchise, it's an excellent way to experience what the full game will be like on March 24. For those who can't handle the hype, it's a phenomenal teaser for the future. Finally, if you just didn't like what you've seen of the game so far, we reckon the Chainsaw Demo will convince you that Capcom's got something special brewing.

The Highlight of the Capcom Spotlight Stream

Released as a part of the Capcom 2023 Spotlight festivities, the surprise launch of the RE4R demo serves as a phenomenal way for the publisher to cap off its show. It's a mic drop, really, and it may well be the best demo we've had in ages.

Its main purpose, of course, is to tantalize the player with a promise of what's coming next, and boy does it ever do its job. You can see how Resident Evil 4 Remake looks and plays, and appreciate some of the work Capcom's designers have done early on. Spoiler alert: it's all quite phenomenal. The editorial team can attest to the game looking even better than Village while running faster, and with more graphics options to fiddle around with.

If you've been concerned about Resident Evil 4's hardware requirements, the demo is your chance to test the game out on your rig. So far, things are looking up, with stellar ray tracing and excellent post-processing effects. And, while all of Capcom's previous RE output does look great, RE4R takes things to the next level in the graphics and animation department. This, in turn, massively improves player immersion!

As you can probably tell by now, we absolutely recommend you play Resident Evil 4 PC demo as soon as you can! The Chainsaw Demo, as it's come to be known thanks to the appearance of a certain emblematic RE4 Ganado, is available for download via Steam. It's pretty small, too: just 10 GB in total. In other words, you should be able to get it up and running in a matter of minutes.

If you're anything like us, the demo is going to leave you wanting more. We've got just under two weeks to go before the game comes out - on March 24, do jot it down - but it's going to be a heck of a wait! Now, the good news doesn't stop there.

Once you're done with the demo, you'll be thrilled to know that you can pre-order RE4R via 2Game to get 13% off right away. That's right - we've set up an exclusive early bird discount for our buyers, and you too can save a pretty penny by buying the game here!
