The classic game Resident Evil Director’s Cut on PS Plus Premium / Deluxe just got an unexpected upgrade, and it’s something fans have been eagerly anticipating. Players in regions limited to the less desirable PAL version can now rejoice, as there’s finally an option to switch to the NTSC version, popular in the Americas, which is definitely the superior experience.
For a while now, Sony has been gradually improving the PS Plus classic games lineup by introducing this nifty region-switching feature. When this issue first came to light back in 2022, many players were frustrated with the slower speeds and lower frame rates of PAL versions. Sony responded by promising NTSC alternatives whenever feasible, and they’re making good on that commitment.
The latest patch for Resident Evil Director’s Cut was first noticed by a keen Reddit user, the_andshrew. It’s great news for those who aren’t PS Plus Premium subscribers but have been holding out for the NTSC update. You can go ahead and purchase it directly from the PS Store. Plus, if you previously owned the game on older platforms like PS3, PSP, or Vita, you might qualify for a free upgrade, which is quite the perk. Just be sure to log into your account and check the PS Store page, and you’ll see if you’re eligible to download it free of charge.
