Resident Evil fans can snap up two games from the horror franchise for less than £5 each in a rare deal. The offer runs until October 6 as part of the Argos gaming sales event, where five PS5 editions of hit Resident Evil games are included in a two-for-£25 deal.
The games usually cost £14.99 each, but shoppers can get them cheaper by creating a TopCashback account. New members receive a £15 welcome bonus on orders of £15 or more, plus cashback at Argos.
How the Deal Works
Combining these payments means two Resident Evil games essentially cost £9.38 after cashback, the equivalent of £4.69 each. Included in the deal are the PS5 remakes of Resident Evil 2, 3 and 4, plus the Gold Editions of Resident Evil 7 and Village.
The £15 welcome bonus can only be claimed once and therefore can only be used against two of these titles. Also, the deal is only available for new members of TopCashback and new Argos customers, while new TopCashback members who already shop at Argos will pay a slightly higher £9.90 after cashback.
Availability and Context
Stock can vary for each game depending on location, so it is worth entering a postcode to check for delivery and collection availability. The deal comes months after the release of the latest title in the series, Resident Evil Requiem (Amazon, £44.93), which saw fan-favourite Leon Kennedy return as the main protagonist.
Resident Evil has also returned to the big screen in a reboot from Weapons director Zach Cregger. Simply titled 'Resident Evil', this fresh take on the franchise follows an original story centred around medical courier Bryan (Austin Abrams), who must fight through hordes of monsters to reach a remote hospital during the Raccoon City outbreak.
Box Office and Steps to Get the Deal
The film has already taken more than $190 million at the global box office and is expected to surpass Resident Evil: The Final Chapter ($312 million) to become the highest grossing film of the franchise. After its theatrical run, the 2026 instalment will likely land on Netflix in the coming months as part of the streamer's deal with Sony Pictures.
To get Resident Evil games for £4.69 each, shoppers should sign up to TopCashback, search for Argos and click 'Get Cashback Now', then shop and checkout as usual by October 6. Cashback will track and appear in the TopCashback account within seven working days of purchase, and will become payable and available to withdraw and spend after Argos has paid TopCashback the commission for the purchase.
Among the most highly-rated Resident Evil games is the Resident Evil 2 remake, which Argos customers have awarded a perfect five-star rating. "This is absolutely class," one said. "The remake has been done brilliantly and brought back so many great memories of playing it on the PlayStation all those years ago. An amazing value for such a well-made and nostalgic experience." Another said: "Superb, stays true to the original story and the plot but 100% better to play." The same gamer also noted some display issues, adding: "Some frame rate issues during boss fights, but overall very pleased with it." While this reviewer said: "Classic Resident Evil. Completely absorbing game, a classic of the genre for a great price."
