The Resident Evil ports on mobile now require an internet connection to play, prompting players to refuse the latest update – or even seek refunds.
As shared on the iOSGaming subreddit, the latest update from Capcom for Resident Evil 7, Resident Evil 4, and Resident Evil Village states: “Due to changes to the startup process, an internet connection is now required when starting this app”.
It’s unclear exactly why an internet connection is needed, though players are speculating it could be for DRM checks, or simply data collection.
