Google has created an especially enticing deal to get players to buy the game on its service. If fans pre-order or buy the game before May 21, they’ll get the Google Stadia Premiere Edition for no extra cost while supplies last. That includes a Stadia controller and a Chromecast Ultra. Google recently used the same promotion to see Cyberpunk 2077.

Players can buy the standard edition of the game for $60 or the deluxe edition for $70. Both versions come with Stadia Premiere Edition at no additional charge.

On top of that, Google is bringing Resident Evil 7 Gold Edition to the platform on April 1. The special edition includes the game’s epilogues and bonus Banned Footage content. Stadia Pro subscribers will be able to claim the game for free when it launches on the platform. A cloud version of the game is currently available on Nintendo Switch.

The news comes after rumors circulated late last year that Google was looking to bring the Resident Evil series to its platform. According to internal documents leaked from a ransomware attack on Capcom, Google offered the company $10 million to bring the two games to Stadia.

If 2023 were to end today, it would still be remembered as a historic year for video games. That’s how good it’s been.

After a few mixed years filled with COVID-induced delays, the first half of 2023 has given players a non-stop avalanche of hits, keeping their backlogs eternally filled. We’ve gotten major entries in beloved franchises like Zelda and Final Fantasy, seen some bar-raising remakes for some of gaming’s best horror games, and been treated to some truly original projects from both indie developers and larger studios given a freedom we rarely see nowadays. And it’s only been six months.

Resident Evil 4’s best speedrunning glitch removed in latest update

Capcom has issued a patch for the Resident Evil 4 remake, which includes a handful of bug fixes, as well as the removal of a popular speedrun glitch. The glitch previously allowed players to warp through doors, leading to some incredibly fast completion times in the remake.

Known as the Scope Glitch, players could continuously aim down the sights of a scoped weapon while standing behind a locked door to clip through it, removing the need to find keys or alternate routes. The glitch was a bit finicky to perform, but expert speedrunners were able to consistently clip through locked doors, allowing players to skip boss fights and other sections of the game.
