The latest details for "Resident Evil 7" will feature a new patch update for the PC version and a Nintendo Switch version soon.
Capcom launched a new patch update for"Resident Evil 7" for the PC platform that lets users expand the number of CPUs capable of running it.
The patch update allows "Resident Evil 7" to recognize older-generation processors by no longer relying on the SSSE3 SIMD instruction set, a feature that was previously required to run within the game's PC version.
This automatically means CPUs that do not support SSSE3 SIMD now have chance to run and play "Residentr Evil 7". Capcom did not list a specific set of CPUs the game now supports, nor offer an idea of which of the old, non SSSE3-enabled CPUs are likely to actually run it.
Nonetheless, this gives PC users an opportunity to play "Resident Evil 7" and share the exciting and heart-racing experience in the horror-survival franchise, VG 24/7 reported.
