Resident Evil 5 February 27 Update
- Removed support for games for Windows Live.
- It will support local split-screen co-op.
- Some other minor bugfixes.
Although it fixed a few bugs, the two main things it did was remove support for Games for Windows Live and at the same time add local split-screen co-op. Split-screen co-op isn’t something people really think about when it comes to PC gaming, but the option is there now, whether that’s how you want to play.
Now, if we recall, the last update the game received before this was in February 2017, and it again targeted the deprecated Games for Windows Live service and generated a fix for people who were having trouble launching the game.
Again, Capcom hasn’t explained why this game received an update after so long without it, but it’s welcome regardless as it gave players another feature to play with that didn’t. did not exist before.
Resident Evil 5 fans are therefore of course hoping that this update is a sign of Capcom’s interest in the game, which could perhaps manifest itself in a remake in the future, with a possible remake.
