Resident Evil Requiem, the latest entry in the survival horror series, has arrived with notable technical advancements on certain platforms. According to Sony, it marks the debut of the PS5 Pro's upgraded PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) upscaler. This technology processes intricate details and textures, enhancing the game's expressiveness.
Capcom, the developer, stated: 'The upgraded PSSR has allowed us to elevate our expressiveness by successfully processing these details and textural particularities.' This integration aims to deliver sharper visuals without compromising performance on the PS5 Pro hardware.

Nintendo described the update as containing 'several fixes' to ensure a smoother experience from launch. The patch addresses initial issues, though specific details on the fixes were not elaborated in the announcement.
Both announcements came on February 27, 2026, coinciding with the game's release.
