Resident Evil 9 PC – After 3 years of success, Resident Evil Village brings back the glory of Capcom’s survival horror franchise. Of course, this makes fans impatiently waiting for the sequel. Recently, there were rumors that Resident Evil 9 would not be released on PC when it was released. Is that true?

Rumors Allegedly Resident Evil 9 Not Released on the PC Platform at Its Release

Based on information on the Metacritic website, Resident Evil 9 has now appeared on the game review page. This raises suspicions that it is possible that the game will be officially announced in the near future.

Other information about the game is the number of platforms it will be on. On the Metacritic page, it can be seen that the game only displays on 2 platforms, namely PS5 and Xbox Series X. Meanwhile, the PC and Xbox Series S platforms are not visible.

This has led to speculation that Resident Evil 9 will be a timed exclusive on consoles. So the PC platform will probably only be released after a few months. Apart from that, it is also suspected that the game will not be available on the Xbox Series S due to the console’s inadequate specifications.

You can see the proof below.

Temporary Conjecture in the Gamer Community

Until now, the exact reason why a number of games were not immediately released on the PC platform is not fully known. However, there are several suspicions in the Gamer community as to why developers prefer consoles over PCs.

The main possibility is cooperation between the developer and the console manufacturer. This is intended as a promotional medium so that many gamers buy consoles to be able to play games earlier. What’s more, consoles generally also provide special features that may not be available on PC.

Another reason is that the specifications of the console are different from the PC. Consoles generally have standardized specifications, so developers can focus on developing games according to the specifications on the console. Meanwhile, PCs may have various specifications that might affect game optimization.

Another suspicion might also be because PC is known for piracy. Of course developers don’t want games to be played illegally, especially when the game is released. So releasing exclusively on consoles is an alternative because console games themselves are more difficult to hack.

What’s more, games on PC can also be overhauled through mods, which often becomes a problem for developers because they are considered to violate the game’s copyright.

That is the information regarding rumors that the RE9 game will not be released on PC on its first day of release. Whether these rumors are true or not, let’s just wait for confirmation and an official announcement from Capcom.
