Capcom has released a new patch to Resident Evil Requiem on all platforms that finally adds a photo mode to the game.
Earlier this month, Resident Evil Requiem director Koshi Nakanishi confirmed that Capcom is developing a story expansion for the horror title after selling 5 million copies in under a week. And while leaks say Resident Evil Requiem DLC "likely" features series icon which has kept it at the forefront of players minds, Capcom actually announced other things during the same video, including a yet-unknown minigame set to be added in May 2026. Nakanishi also confirmed "the much-awaited photo mode" was coming to the game, but didn't give a release date for it.
Well, wonder no more, as Capcom confirmed earlier today that there's a brand new patch for Resident Evil Requiem that includes the photo mode. Naturally, fans are already having fun with it, as I actually found out the mode had been released from a screenshot of Grace Ashcroft being seconds away from booting an unsuspecting Emily in the skull.
Newest update finally added Photo Mode (and patched the recently discovered ammo glitch) from r/residentevil
The patch also has a number of other changes, mainly bug fixes including an ammo glitch that would allow players to load ammo from certain weapons into another (allowing grace to have about 40 shots of the overpowered but intentionally ammo limited Requiem pistol at once). Capcom also notes some PC-specific bugs that could cause visual bugs and crashes.
Most interesting of all however, is the note that "character expressions in some cutscenes have been adjusted to better convey emotion." However, Capcom doesn't specify which scenes are affected, and no one on social media seems to have figured it out either yet, so they could be very subtle.
