How to Get the Resident Evil 4: The Mercenaries Update for Free on Meta Oculus Quest VR

Resident Evil 4 has been on Oculus Quest 2 or Meta Quest 2 for a while now, but following the Meta Quest Gaming Showcase yesterday, players can now get access to the Resident Evil 4: The Mercenaries game mode, too. The ever-popular mode was announced during the showcase yesterday and arrives in the game six months after it initially launched.

How to Get the Mercenaries Update in Resident Evil 4 VR

To get the update, simply select Resident Evil 4 from your library on the Meta Quest 2 and you should automatically get a prompt appear informing you that there’s a new update available.

Confirm that you want to download and install the update now and let this process complete. It’s fairly large so it might take you a while if your internet’s not all that fast.

Once it’s finished, load up Resident Evil 4 and you should be able to access the new ‘Mercenaries’ update from the main menu screen.

Does It Have VR Exclusives?

Yes, the Mercenaries update on Meta Quest 2 features some all-new content that’s not been seen in the game mode when released on consoles in the past.

The VR version features online leaderboards and 20 new challenges for players to check out. These challenges will unlock other features like a black-and-white Classic Horror Mode, golden gun skins and even a Big Head Mode. All of these unlockables will be usable in the main game, after you’ve unlocked them in Mercenaries.

When Does It Come Out?

Resident Evil 4’s Mercenaries update is available for free now on Meta Quest 2.
