Capcom has announced that it will be shutting down the multiplayer game Resident Evil Re:Verse. The game only lasted for three years.
The game’s service will end on June 29, 2025, at 11:59 PM PDT. Capcom claims it was originally released to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Resident Evil series. The game apparently accomplished its initial goal of celebrating the franchise, so it can now be taken down. Capcom’s announcement didn’t mention the game’s poor reviews and low playerbase over its lifetime.
The game received mostly negative reviews on Steam, and according to SteamDB, the highest number of players ever recorded was around 2,115, but that was roughly two and a half years ago. Otherwise, there are only 26 currently playing, and a peak of 56 in the last 24 hours. That’s not a complete picture of the game’s performance—it was also available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One—but there’s not much evidence the game was more successful on those platforms.
Starting on March 3, 2025, at 9:00 PM PST, the game will no longer be available for purchase in online stores, and all downloadable content (like character skins and RP boosters) will also be removed. However, players who already have a download code or have downloaded the game previously will still be able to access it until the service ends. There don’t seem to be any details on refunds given, so there likely won’t be any, meaning anything purchased is completely gone. However, it’s a good reminder that anything purchased digitally is only there until it’s not, which is why some people are petitioning the UK for changes to game ownership.
The game is still available to buy on Steam at a 60% discount, but keep in mind that on June 29, 2025, the game will no longer be playable. There will likely not be any self-hosted servers to keep the game going since the game was so unpopular. RP Boosters and Premium Pass benefits will still be available until the service shuts down.
