Three Resident Evil titles are getting current-gen upgrades later this year, and Capcom has announced that save data from the original PS4 and Xbox One versions of the games will carry over to the upgraded versions.

This confirmation came via a Tweet from the official Resident Evil account, which explained: “We’re happy to confirm that save data from the original PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of these games will carry over to their respective upgraded versions.”
The studio added that all downloadable content (DLC) for Resident Evil 7 Gold Edition will also be carried across versions.
Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 7 are all coming to PS5 and Xbox Series X|S this year with visual enhancements. Capcom also confirmed that if you already own the games, the upgrades are free, explaining: “Upgrade patches for all three games will also be released for PC players at no additional cost when the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions launch”.
When this was announced, three screenshots were included which were all in 4K resolution, and while the games targeted 60FPS on the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X, neither ran at full 4K, so perhaps these upgraded versions will offer choices between fidelity and resolution.
