Sixty percent off a Metacritic 91 is the kind of discount that demands attention. Resident Evil 4 — Capcom’s 2023 remake of the 2005 landmark — is currently $15.99 on Steam, down from $39.99.

The numbers don’t need much dressing up. 87,319 user reviews, 96% of them positive. Steam slaps its “Overwhelmingly Positive” badge on maybe a dozen AAA titles per year, and this one earned it three years ago. Right now, 15,308 players are in-game concurrently, which means matchmaking isn’t an afterthought and the community hasn’t moved on.

Capcom’s pitch was simple: modernized combat, a reimagined story, and the kind of graphical overhaul that makes a GameCube-era classic feel like a 2023 release. By every measurable standard — critics, players, ongoing player counts — they delivered. One player with 127 hours logged kept their review to four words: “BEST RE OF ALL TIME.”

At $15.99, this is the price point where even patients who’ve been waiting for a deep discount should pull the trigger. It’s sitting at #9 on Steam’s Top Sellers chart as of April 15, 2026, which means the deal is moving units fast enough to compete with brand-new releases.

No catch, no battle pass, no seasonal FOMO machine bolted on after launch. Just a complete, critically acclaimed single-player campaign at a fraction of its launch price. If it’s been sitting in your wishlist, the signal couldn’t be clearer.
