What did Capcom add in Resident Evil Requiem patch?

Resident Evil Requiem’s update adds photo mode and more

Capcom has rolled out a new patch for Resident Evil Requiem that includes the long-requested photo mode. The update also contains additional adjustments, including changes aimed at improving how characters are depicted in-game.

According to the reported patch coverage, the photo mode is now available as part of the update across platforms, with Capcom having previously signaled that it was working toward this addition. The new functionality is paired with refinements to cutscenes—tweaks intended to better convey emotion from characters during narrative moments.

What the patch includes

• Photo mode added to the game
• Cutscene tweaks to better communicate character emotion
• General improvements/fixes alongside the headline feature

This matters for players because photo mode is typically one of the biggest “quality-of-life” features for single-player horror games: it can extend the lifespan of the experience by enabling screenshots, replayable character moments, and more creative content sharing.

It also shows Capcom’s post-launch focus on refining presentation after release—especially around facial expressions and emotional beats that are central to Resident Evil’s characters and story delivery.

If you’re returning to the game, photo mode will be the fastest reason to check the update, while the cutscene adjustments suggest Capcom is also tightening the overall presentation layer beyond just adding a new menu feature.
