The first tier begins with Resident Evil, Resident Evil Revelations, and Resident Evil Revelations 2 Epi 1 for $3. Tier two increases the price to $10 but adds on Resident Evil 0, Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil 5 Gold, and Resident Evil 6.

The third tier moves to the more modern titles with Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes, Resident Evil 7 Biohazard, and Resident Evil 6 for $20. Going for the full bundle will cost you $35, and also get you Resident Evil Village alongside all previous titles.

Meanwhile, over on the Fanatical store, a build-your-own-bundle offer has gone up targetting owners of portable gaming PCs like the Steam Deck. This features Dishonored, Redout, The Darkside Detective the first two Metro titles, and more. The price depends on how many games you choose, with it starting at $4.99 for three selections.
