Resident Evil 7 Wins Best VR at the Game Awards

The "Best Virtual Reality Game" award went to Resident Evil 7: Biohazard at last night's Game Awards, securing a big win for Capcom. The horror title beat out four other nominations in the category, including Superhot VR and Star Trek: Bridge Crew.

Resident Evil 7, the latest in the survival horror series, was released on January 24th of this year to very positive reviews. One of the biggest changes was the switch to a first-person perspective. This made it a perfect candidate for Sony's Playstation VR. Online videos of scared gamers playing this version of the game became quite popular around the time of its release. Capcom also made available a special "4D blood scented" candle to enhance the experience.

For those interested in giving the game a go, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard Gold Edition, which will include all of the game's downloadable digital content, is set to release on Tuesday, December 12th, 2017. We are also giving away a copy of this game for our Slash the Halls Twitter Giveaway. See below for details on how to enter for your chance to win!

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard Gold Edition will be available for Windows, Playstation 4, and Xbox One. The VR experience is currently only available on the PS4.
