TheResident Evil 3remake, which re-tells the story of S.T.A.R.S. member Jill Valentine’s desperate escape from Raccoon City, has recently released. The game has received primarily positive reviews, and if it turns out to be a sales success, it may pave the way tofutureResident Evilremakes.
The originalResident Evil 3came with a game mode called The Mercenaries - Operation: Mad Jackal, which put players in control of a variety of mercenaries racing to escape the game stage while putting down any zombies in their way. In lieu of Mercenaries, theResident Evil 3remake sees the introduction ofResident Evil Resistance, an asymmetrical multiplayer mode that pits survivors against an evil mastermind. While the game is free to anyone who purchases theResident Evil 3remake, how to access the game isn’t entirely clear.

Separate Mode, Separate Game
UnlikeThe Mercenariesin games likeResident Evil 6,Resident Evil Resistanceis an entirely separate game fromResident Evil 3. For this reason, players may need to find the game and download it separately.
PS4
Resident Evil Resistanceis immediately added to a player’s list of available games upon purchasingResident Evil 3, but it may not start downloading immediately. Players should access their PS4 game library and check to see if it’s located under ‘All’. If it isn’t, it hasn’t downloaded yet, so navigate to the ‘Purchased’ section. The game should appear there and can then be downloaded to the console.
Xbox One
Like the PS4, the Xbox One may not automatically download the game. Players should head to the My Games and Apps menu. If it’s already been installed, it will be listed under the installed tab. If it hasn’t been installed yet, click over to the ‘Ready to Install’ section and manually start the download.
Steam/PC
Like its console counterparts,Resident Evil Resistanceshould automatically be added to a player’s Steam library, butwon’t automatically download. Players simply need to scroll through their list until they findResident Evil Resistanceand tell Steam to install it by double-clicking or right-clicking on the game. As long as the player has already purchasedResident Evil 3, it should be free to download.
Resident Evil 3andResident Evil Resistanceare available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
