Four linked campaigns follow Leon, Chris, Jake and Ada through a worldwide bioterror outbreak, each built to be played by two.
Who can play
- Split-screen for 2 players on PC, PS5, Xbox and Switch.
- Online for up to 6 players on PC, PS5, Xbox and Switch.
- No crossplay between platform families.
- One copy is enough with Remote Play Together on PC.
How it plays
Each campaign is played as a pair, on split screen or online, and a second player can join an online game in progress.
At a few crossover points two online pairs meet and fight together as four.
Beyond the story, Mercenaries and Onslaught take two players, and Survivors, Predator and Siege up to six.
The game leans on action more than horror.
On PC, Remote Play Together lets a friend join the split-screen game without a copy.
