PS Plus Premium/Deluxe subscribers who love classic games will be pleased to hear about a quiet but significant update for Resident Evil Director’s Cut. Gamers who had been stuck playing the less-than-ideal PAL version can now rejoice, as the game offers a region-switching feature, allowing access to the smoother and more polished NTSC version enjoyed by players in the Americas.
Sony is steadily enhancing the classic gaming experience on PS Plus by introducing region-switching options. Initially, players using the PAL versions faced slower gameplay and reduced frame rates compared to their NTSC counterparts. Acknowledging the frustration, Sony committed to providing NTSC options and has indeed started delivering on this promise.
The recent update for Resident Evil Director’s Cut was highlighted by a Reddit user, the_andshrew. If you’re not a PS Plus Premium member and have been holding out for NTSC availability, there’s good news—you can purchase the game standalone from the PS Store. For those who previously bought the game on older platforms like the PS3, PSP, or Vita, you’re eligible for a complimentary upgrade, if available. Just log in to the PS Store and check the game’s page. You’ll get an automatic notification if you can download the upgraded version at no extra charge.
