Key Takeaways

• Four Resident Evil games are $15.99 each during Amazon Gaming Week 2026

• RE4 remake earned a perfect 10 from IGN, while RE2 and RE3 scored 9s

What's on Sale

Amazon's 2026 Gaming Week sale includes a bundle of Resident Evil deals that stand out from the usual discounts. Four titles have dropped to $15.99 each, a 47% cut from their $29.99 list prices.

The games included are Resident Evil 2 remake, Resident Evil 3 remake, Resident Evil 4 remake, and Resident Evil 7 Gold Edition. All are PS5 versions.

For context, that combined price is lower than Resident Evil Requiem's launch price. If you're looking to fill gaps in your horror library, this is a cheap way to do it.

Which Games Are Worth Buying

Not all four titles scored equally in reviews. Resident Evil 4 remake sits at the top with a perfect 10 from IGN. Reviewer Tristan Ogilvie called it "the series' most relentlessly exciting adventure rebuilt, refined, and realised to the full extent of its enormous potential."

Both Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 remakes earned 9s. These are modernized versions of the PS1 classics with overhauled graphics and gameplay. RE2 follows rookie cop Leon Kennedy and college student Claire Redfield through a zombie-infested Raccoon City. RE3 puts you in Jill Valentine's boots as she escapes the same outbreak while hunted by the relentless Nemesis.

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard scored lower at 7.7, but it marked an important shift for the franchise. Reviewer Chloi Rad called it "a fresh take on the Resident Evil series that fondly recalls the classics even as it takes a bold new direction." The first-person perspective and Southern Gothic setting in the Baker estate feel distinct from the action-heavy remakes.

Buy Order Recommendation

If you're new to the series and picking just one, start with RE4. It's the highest-rated game in the sale and works as a standalone experience. The village setting, weapon upgrade system, and pacing represent Capcom's remake efforts at their peak.

For story continuity, RE2 and RE3 happen during the same outbreak and share characters. Playing RE2 first makes RE3's references land better. RE7 is a separate storyline entirely, so you can play it whenever.

The Gold Edition of RE7 includes all DLC content: the Banned Footage volumes, Not a Hero, and End of Zoe expansions. That's extra value compared to the base game.
