- The wait for new Resident Evil 5 content is over. The new online multiplayer Versus mode became available to download on Xbox LIVE and PlayStation Network on Tuesday, April 7.
 For 400 Microsoft Points on Xbox LIVE or $4.99 on the PlayStation Network, Resident Evil fans can go up against each other for the most terrifying Versus mode to date.
Versus allows up to four players to match wits in online battles across two very different game types. Slayer’s Rule is a point-based game that challenges players to kill Majinis. In Survivor’s Rule, players hunt the most dangerous game, each other! Players can begin the hunt as Chris, Sheva or other secret characters, and choose from either one-on-one or two-versus-two team matches for either of the two gameplay styles.
