PlayStation is celebrating 30 years of Resident Evil with a tempting gift for fans: a pack of PSN avatars inspired by the saga, offered on PS5 and PS4. Except that for a simple change of profile icon, Sony imposes a process that goes well beyond the “Add to cart” button.
Between Resident Evil Requiemthe Sony Pictures Core app and registration on a dedicated site, collecting these free avatars requires a minimum of organization. The offer remains interesting for anyone who wants to display Leon or Jill on their PSN profile, provided they respect the steps and deadlines.
Free Resident Evil avatars on PlayStation: what pack is offered?
For this 30th anniversary, PlayStation is giving away a pack of 10 free Resident Evil PSN avatars. Once obtained, they can be used on PS5, PS4 and your entire PSN profile.
The pack brings together five key figures from the saga: Leon S. Kennedy, Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield, Claire Redfield and Ada Wong, each with two variants. The first uses the official illustration of the 30th anniversary, the second is based on models from CGI animated films, with a less inspired rendering according to some of the players.
How to recover Resident Evil avatars on PS5 and PS4, concretely?
To recover these Resident Evil avatars on PlayStation, three actions are essential. First, open the PS Store on PS5 or PS4, find the page Resident Evil Requiemthen buy the game digitally or simply add it to your wishlist. The campaign specifies that placing it on a wishlist is enough to be eligible.
Next, install the Sony Pictures Core application from the Media tab of the console and log in with the same PSN account. This video-on-demand service is available in several countries and you don’t need to rent anything to participate.
Finally, from Sony Pictures Core or the PlayStation site, access the campaign page dedicated to the 30th anniversary of Resident Evil. Log in, validate your registration and check the email address associated with the account; a promotional code will be sent later, which you will then simply have to enter in the “Redeem a code” section of the PS Store to unlock the pack.
How long is the Resident Evil offer valid on PlayStation, and is it worth the effort?
Participation in this Resident Evil operation on PlayStation is possible until April 30, 2026; After this deadline, no new registrations will be taken into account. Avatar activation codes must be sent by Sony at the end of June 2026, by email or via a PSN notification.
Also pay attention to the restrictions: the code will be linked to the PSN account used during registration, non-transferable, and the campaign is only active in regions where the Sony Pictures Core application is available on PS5 and PS4. The time investment remains significant for a simple cosmetic pack, but Resident Evil fans will see it as a free birthday bonus.
