Much speculation has surrounded "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard," and one recent rumor suggests that Capcom may have made an exclusive deal with Sony, a deal that would only allow PlayStation 4 users to access the VR version of "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard" on the first year of the game's release.

Though there's a virtual reality version of "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard," the game's full plot is playable on all platforms. What's more is that the VR prologues for "Resident Evil 7: Biohazard" is not related to the game's main gameplay, which means gamers can still enjoy the whole main story even without trying out the VR version.
