Resident Evil Bargain Bonanza: Four Classic Games Plummet to $16 Each

Amazon's 2026 Gaming Week sale is serving up a rare opportunity for horror fans: four major Resident Evil titles have crashed to just $16 apiece. The deal includes the remakes of Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 4, along with Resident Evil 7: Biohazard.

For players who haven't tackled any of these games, the math is hard to ignore. Grabbing all four costs under $64, a bargain that undercuts the standalone price of Resident Evil Requiem.

The quality on offer here is exceptional across the board. The RE2 and RE3 remakes both earned 9-point scores in critical reviews, while the RE4 remake broke through to a perfect 10. IGN's Tristan Ogilvie described that latest remake as "the series' most relentlessly exciting adventure rebuilt, refined, and realised to the full extent of its enormous potential."

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard sits slightly lower at 7.7, but that doesn't diminish what it brings to the table. The game marked a deliberate pivot toward first-person perspective and abandoned the over-the-shoulder camera work that had defined recent entries. Critic Chloi Rad called it "a fresh take on the Resident Evil series that fondly recalls the classics even as it takes a bold new direction."

The shift paid off. Exploring the confined, suffocating spaces of the Baker estate in first person generates genuine dread in a way the series hadn't achieved in years. The immersion that format creates transforms the scares from spectacle into something far more intimate and unsettling.

Whether you're eyeing one standout title or loading up the entire package, this sale represents the kind of entry point that's rare for a franchise of this caliber. The remakes especially showcase how thoughtfully Capcom has approached updating these classics for modern hardware without sacrificing what made them terrifying in the first place.

Author Emily Chen: "This is the kind of sale that makes skipping a Resident Evil game impossible to justify, especially when four of the best entries in the franchise cost less than a new release."
