Resident Evil Re:Verse Shuts Down for Good After Struggling Player Count

Capcom has officially pulled the plug on Resident Evil Re:Verse, with servers going offline on June 29, 2025.

The multiplayer spin-off, launched in 2022 as a companion to Resident Evil Village, never quite found its footing despite being tied to one of gaming’s most iconic horror franchises.

Initially designed as a celebration of Resident Evil’s 25th anniversary, Re:Verse featured fan-favorite characters in PvP deathmatches across familiar locations. Players could take on roles of both heroes and bioweapons in short, chaotic matches, offering a break from the usual survival horror formula. However, even that novelty wasn’t enough to keep players hooked for the long term.

According to SteamDB, Re:Verse peaked at over 2,115 players during its launch month in October 2022—but it was mostly downhill from there. By the next month, it was down to the 300s, and soon after, the game was struggling to break double digits in player count. By early 2025, monthly peaks had dipped into the teens.

In classic fashion, there was a small last-minute rush before shutdown. The final day saw an over 200% spike in interest, though that only amounted to 96 concurrent players—many of whom may have just left the title screen running.

Capcom first confirmed back in February that the game would be ending service, stating it had “served its original, celebratory purpose admirably.” The announcement came with the removal of the game and its DLC from digital storefronts, marking the end of what had been a rocky journey since its debut.

Critics and players alike pointed to a lack of content updates and an overly monetized structure as major reasons for the game’s downfall. Despite Capcom’s best efforts to turn things around post-launch, Re:Verse couldn’t escape its early negative reception.

Still, all is not lost for Resident Evil fans. The mainline series continues to thrive, with recent remakes and Resident Evil Village receiving praise across the board. Capcom is now looking ahead to Resident Evil Requiem, a new title expected in 2026, signaling a fresh direction for the franchise.

So while Re:Verse quietly fades away, it’s clear Capcom has bigger plans ahead. Let’s just hope the next entry lands a bit better with fans.
