Original Resident Evil and Breath Of Fire IV Now on Steam
Capcom and GOG have officially launched the original PC versions of Resident Evil, Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, and Breath of Fire IV on the Steam platform as of April 1, 2026.
These classic titles arrive on Valve’s storefront following a previous period of availability on GOG and are currently offered at a limited-time launch price of $4.99 before increasing to $9.99 each.
The releases are the result of a co-development effort between Capcom and GOG designed to ensure these legacy titles run efficiently on modern hardware.
Players can expect a suite of quality-of-life improvements across all four games, including enhanced DirectX rendering, windowed mode support, integer scaling, and vertical synchronization options.
The version of Resident Evil provided is completely uncut and features more graphic violence and blood than the original worldwide PlayStation release.
Resident Evil 2 includes both the original United States and Japanese versions, with the 4th Survivor and Tofu modes unlocked for players from the start of the game.
In Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, Jill Valentine’s escape from Raccoon City is supported by improved task switching and the inclusion of the Mercenaries Mode.
Breath of Fire IV brings its classic RPG narrative of warring continents to Steam with restored environmental audio and fixes for previous battle system crashes.
The RPG also features updated keyboard and mouse support, along with improvements to its various minigames for a better user experience.
These digital re-releases provide a way for fans to access the foundational entries of these franchises with modern display settings like anisotropic filtering and anti-aliasing.
