Res 4 Demo, Call of Duty is Back, and More - March 11th, 2023

This week is loaded with news to get you in the Halloween spirit but in March. Including news from Capcom's Spotlight event with an old Resident Evil, old Mega Man games, old Call of Duty games finally arriving on Steam, and an old PlayStation game coming to PC. We'll also help you save money basking in horrific nostalgia this March.

Try Out Another Classic REvival

Capcom presented updates to previously announced titles this week with their Capcom Spotlight event. The main takeaway of the event was the announcement of Resident Evil 4: Chainsaw Demo. You can download the demo for free today on Steam, PlayStation 4 and 5, and Xbox Series S and X.

Though be warned, some difficulties are emerging while trying to get the game to run on a Steam Deck, outside of needing certain Proton compatibility layers to get the game to boot.

When you're lost in the darkness...

The final episode of The Last of Us premieres on HBO this Sunday to both excitement and great sadness for weeks to come.

Take a look if your PC is ready to go with the specs released this week. The Steam Deck is already guaranteed to be able to play the game, according to the game's co-director, Neil Druckmann's tweet.
