Capcom already revealed that the Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 remakes and Resident Evil 7 would all be coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, but didn’t give any specific release dates. However, it seems as though they’re close to coming out, given how all three have reportedly appeared online.

Twitter user PlayStation Game Size — an account that reveals updates, game sizes, and sometimes actual games before they publicly hit the store — allegedly uncovered data for the PS5 versions of all three rereleases. The account stated that the Resident Evil 2 remake would be 21.8 GB (which is comparable to its size on PS4) before quickly revealing that the Resident Evil 3 remake would clock in at 20.4 GB. It also found Resident Evil 7 and also the Gold Edition, but could not give a file size for either.

Capcom has not confirmed a date, but it’s likely that at least one will be releasing soon. Similarly to how trophies on sites like PSNProfiles and Exophase often foreshadow an imminent drop, titles that can be found by PlayStation Game Size are usually close to release. And not only that, Capcom is holding a showcase on June 13 on announced games, which fits the bill for these three titles. Given the juxtaposition, it’s not out of the question that Capcom could drop at least one of these rereleases during or near its event.
Each upgrade will be free for those who already own the last-gen version of the game in question. The enhanced ports will have ray tracing and a high frame rate option. PC players will also get a free patch with all the extra enhancements and the PS5 version will have haptic feedback and adaptive trigger support. DLC and saves will also transfer to the new versions, too. However, physical discs of the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions are not currently in the plans.
