The new direction Capcom has taken with Resident Evil 7 might not have been universally welcomed when it was first revealed at E3 last month, but its demo certainly seems to have PlayStation 4 owners curious about the horrors we can all look forward to witnessing — this time in first-person — when the game releases on PC, PS4 and Xbox One on January 24, 2017.
In just seven days, the Resident Evil 7 Teaser: Beginning Hour demo has become the most downloaded single-player demo on PS4, with more than two million downloads worldwide.
It’s available to download, for free, if you’re a PlayStation Plus subscriber. It’s a 20-30 minute “tonal teaser” that’s meant to showcase the atmosphere and style of gameplay Capcom is aiming for with the actual game. The events in the demo were not sampled from Resident Evil 7, so it’s spoiler-free.
The demo is expected to make its way to other platforms eventually, but no release dates have been announced yet. It will come with optional support for PlayStation VR.
