Best PC Gameplay Settings

Top Gameplay Settings to Tweak for PC



Adjust Your Control Settings

In the Controls section of the Options menu, you can adjust your Control Settings if you're using a controller or struggling with the game's default control scheme.

In this settings menu, you can switch between the game's different Control Type presets and adjust other control options, like setting crouching and running to Toggle.

Change to Your Preferred Key Bindings

If you're uncomfortable with the game's default mouse and keyboard key bindings, you can change them by opening the Key Bindings window in the Controls menu. Each action has a primary and secondary key bind, giving you plenty of flexibility when tweaking your control setup.

Set Repeated Button Input Type to Hold

We recommend changing the Repeated Button Input Type option in Control Settings to Hold to give you an easier time dealing with the numerous quick-time events occurring in the game. However, feel free to leave it off if you prefer a more challenging gameplay experience.

Turn Aim Assist On

We also recommend turning on and tweaking the Aim Assist Type option in the Controls menu. Enabling this option allows you to switch between a Snap or Snap and Follow type of aim assist, giving you an easier time tracking and taking down foes.

Best PC Accessibility Settings

Top Accessibility Settings to Tweak for PC



Switch Between Accessibility Presets

The Resident Evil 4 Remake features three unique presets in the Accessibility menu for those who require visual and auditory support or deal with motion sickness.

Preset Configurations
Visual Accessibility Automatically configures HUD Opacity, Subtitle Size, and Subtitle Background Opacity.
Suggests adjusting Aim Color, Laser Sight Color, Biosensor Scope, and Subtitle colors to the player's preferences.
Auditory Accessibility Automatically enables Subtitles, Closed Caption Subtitles, and Speaker Name Display.
Suggests adjusting the volume settings in the Audio menu for a better auditory experience.
Motion Sickness Automatically configures Camera Wobble, Motion Blur, Lens Distortion, Depth of Field, and HUD Dot Display.
Suggests adjusting Field of View, Maximum Camera Speed, and Camera Acceleration to the player's preferences.

Turn On Subtitles

Outside of the presets, we highly recommend turning on Subtitles and tweaking their options in the Language menu. This option makes it easier to understand the game's dialogue, especially while fighting off infected and during moments with intense music and loud noises.

Adjust HUD Settings

We also recommend adjusting the game's HUD settings to fit your preferences. In the Display menu, you can toggle the game's Dot Display, adjust the intensity of the Damage Display, and tweak the HUD Opacity.

Disable Camera Wobble and Motion Blur

In addition, for those who are easily nauseous or dislike shaky cameras, you can also manually disable Camera Shake and Motion Blur in the game's Camera menu.
