PS Plus Premium/Deluxe subscribers who enjoy the classic Resident Evil Director’s Cut have some exciting news—a stealth update has rolled out, introducing an enhanced version of the game. Players who were previously confined to the subpar PAL version can now breathe a sigh of relief, as the update allows for region switching. This means you can now switch to the superior NTSC version, which is the standard in the Americas.
Sony has been making strides in adding the option to switch regions for classic games on PS Plus. The issue first surfaced back in 2022, when many pointed out that PAL versions, known for slower speeds and lower frame rates, were diminishing the gaming experience. In response, Sony promised to introduce NTSC options wherever feasible and has stayed true to that commitment.
The latest beneficiary of this update is Resident Evil Director’s Cut, as highlighted by Reddit user the_andshrew. This is a great move for those who aren’t PS Plus Premium members and have been holding out for the NTSC version’s release—they can now purchase it directly from the PS Store. A handy tip for long-time fans: If you previously bought the game on older consoles like the PS3, PSP, or Vita, you’re eligible for a free upgrade where applicable. Simply log into the PS Store, check the game’s page, and see if a complimentary download is available for you.
