Resident Evil 7, along with the remakes of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3, are releasing on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S this year, and so will last-generation save data.
On Tuesday, Capcom announced that PS4 and Xbox One save files for Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 7 will carry over to the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions. Not all that surprising since new-generation upgrades for these titles are already free, but it’s still a welcome addition.
Capcom specifically mentions Resident Evil 7 Gold Edition here for whatever reason, probably because that release contains all of Resident Evil 7’s DLC, though.
We're happy to confirm that save data from the original PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of these games will carry over to their respective upgraded versions. DLC that comes with Resident Evil 7 Gold Edition will transfer over, as well! https://t.co/FVVTPuHBQs

PC owners are also getting all the new-generation graphical updates by way of a free patch. If you’ve not played any of the recent Resident Evil titles — what’s wrong with you? No, really, you’re a monster! Thankfully, there’s an antidote: Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 7 are super cheap during Capcom’s publisher sale on Steam. GLHF has a complete rundown of all the details right here.
There’s still no release date for these new-generation ports, but (hopefully) that information isn’t too far away.
