resident evil veronica fans, watch your wallets: Capcom just pulled the rug on one of the most beloved survival horror titles, and the price to replay it just got a lot scarier.
If you were holding onto your old PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 hoping to relive the terror of Rockfort Island on the cheap, I have bad news. Capcom has quietly delisted 'Resident Evil: Code Veronica X' from digital storefronts for those legacy consoles, effectively killing the cheapest way to legally own the game. As of this week, you can no longer buy the digital HD remaster that has been the go-to version for a decade. While the game remains available on modern platforms like the PlayStation Store for PS4/PS5 and Xbox One/Series, those versions are still full-priced at $19.99—and let's be honest, that's a lot for a game from 2000.
This move forces retro gamers into a corner: either pay the current higher price on current-gen consoles or hit the secondhand market where physical discs are already skyrocketing in price. If you haven't bought it yet, your wallet just took a direct hit. For the rest of us, this is yet another warning that digital game ownership is a ticking time bomb. If you want to keep playing 'resident evil veronica' without constant resurrections of the price tag, you better act fast—or get used to the real horror of paying scalpers.
