Resident Evil 1–3 arrive on Steam at a discount, but DRM divides fans

Capcom releases the three original Resident Evil games on Steam for $9.99 each, with a 50% discount; DRM divides opinions, especially on Steam Deck.

Capcom has added the three original Resident Evil titles to Steam, but with a condition that is dividing fans: built-in DRM.

The trilogy brings together Resident Evil (1996), Resident Evil 2 (1998), and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (1999). Each game is available for $9.99, with a 50% discount, totaling $14.97 for the bundle.

RE1 puts you on the STARS team, exploring a mansion to understand what happened to the lost team; RE2 introduces Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield; RE3 brings back Jill Valentine to face the bioweapon Nemesis.

Despite the excitement, many consumers point out that the DRM in the Steam edition is unnecessary and can cause issues on the Steam Deck, echoing criticisms seen with the DRM in the RE4 Remake.

In comparison to the GOG option, the GOG edition has no DRM and usually offers a different experience: the Steam Edition carries the DRM, does not offer cloud saves or achievements, and requires managing multiple languages. The GOG version, on the other hand, works on the Steam Deck.

Coverage context

IGN's guide to Resident Evil: Requiem follows the saga and highlights the reception of RE: Requiem, which received a 9/10 rating from the press.
