Amid reports that Sony is preparing to stop supporting the PS4, the PlayStation console is reportedly getting one of 2026’s biggest releases. The PS4 doesn’t get many noteworthy games anymore, and the game in question — one of the most anticipated releases of 2026 — has only been announced for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X. In other words, there is no reason to expect the game, a Capcom release, to come to PS4, but that is what it is apparently doing. Making this release even more surprising is that it’s not coming to the Xbox One as well, just the PS4.

The game in question, subject to a new report, is Resident Evil Requiem, which is set to release on February 27, 2026. Now, the last mainline installment in the series, Resident Evil Village, and the latest major release from the series, Resident Evil 4, both came to PS4, so perhaps this news should not be that surprising. That said, these two games came in 2021 and 2023, when the PS4 was supported a lot more heavily, especially in the case of the former. To this end, the majority of major releases next year have not been penciled in for a PS4 release. To be fair, neither has Capcom with Resident Evil Requiem, but a new report claims that is the plan.
More Than One Unannounced Platform
The new report comes the way of Dusk Golem, a well-known and fairly reliable industry insider primarily known for scoops and information on Capcom games, and especially Resident Evil games. According to the insider, Resident Evil Requiem isn’t just coming to PS4, in addition to the already announced platforms, but Nintendo Switch as well.
As the leaker hints at, both Capcom and Resident Evil are known for supporting older machines well beyond most publishers and game series, so this would just be continuing this tradition. And considering there are still millions of monthly users on PS4, it makes sense to give these users a new game to buy if it’s not going to limit and impact development too much.
All of that said, remember to take everything here with a grain of salt. Nothing here is official information, and even if it is accurate, it is also subject to change that could render it inaccurate. If true, it’s just the latest great news in what has been a few weeks of great news for PS4 users. Some of this recent great news has included word of a PS4 console exclusive from 2019 returning with a new release, and a PS4 console exclusive from a decade ago getting a surprise new update.
