Resident Evil 5 — Steam Gift

About the game

Resident Evil 5 is Capcom's co-op survival horror where Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar track the remnants of a bio-terror threat under the blazing African sun. You get the game as a Steam gift in the Gold Edition: the full campaign plus the Untold Stories pack — the “Lost in Nightmares” and “Desperate Escape” episodes, Versus mode, The Mercenaries Reunion and bonus costumes. This is an actual gift: a bot friends you and sends it over — not a key you have to type in.

Once the gift is delivered it cannot be refunded. If Steam rejects the gift due to region mismatch, the full amount is returned to your site balance.

Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition: everything about the edition, content and how the Steam gift arrives

Resident Evil 5 (Biohazard 5 in Japan) launched in 2009 and became one of Capcom's best-selling entries in the series. The story takes place in the fictional African region of Kijuju, where BSAA operative Chris Redfield and his partner Sheva Alomar investigate an outbreak of a new bio-weapon and come face to face with an old enemy — Albert Wesker. It's a third-person action game built around co-op: the entire campaign is meant to be played by two, and co-op is where Resident Evil 5 truly shines.

Here you're getting Resident Evil 5 in the Gold Edition — the most complete version of the game — delivered as a Steam gift, not a key. Below we break down what's inside the edition, how it differs from the base version, how the gift arrives and what you need so it goes through cleanly.

What's inside the Gold Edition

The Gold Edition is the full game plus the Untold Stories bonus content. One gift gives you:

  • The main Resident Evil 5 campaign — the full run as Chris and Sheva from chapter one to the final showdown with Wesker.
  • Lost in Nightmares — a standalone prequel episode: Chris and Jill infiltrate the Spencer mansion. Atmospheric and slow-paced, with callbacks to the very first Resident Evil and classic puzzles.
  • Desperate Escape — a fast-paced episode starring Jill Valentine and BSAA agent Josh Stone fighting their way out of the Tricell facility. Far more combat-heavy and intense than Lost in Nightmares.
  • Versus — a competitive mode based on Mercenaries: score chases and clashes with other players.
  • The Mercenaries Reunion — an expanded version of the Mercenaries minigame with extra characters and alternate costumes.
  • Bonus costumes and figures — a set of alternate outfits for Chris and Sheva.

Key point: the base game is already inside the Gold Edition. You do not need a separately purchased Resident Evil 5 — this is a complete standalone package, not an upgrade to an existing copy.

How the Gold Edition differs from the standard version

The standard Resident Evil 5 includes only the main campaign and the base Mercenaries. The Gold Edition adds the whole Untold Stories set on top — two story episodes, Versus mode, Mercenaries Reunion and costumes. If you want more than just the main story and prefer to get all the extra content in a single gift without buying DLC piece by piece, the Gold Edition is the way to go.

How the Steam gift arrives

Delivery is simple and there are no codes to type. After payment, our bot adds itself to your Steam friends — you don't need to accept the request, it handles that on its own. Then the bot sends you Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition as a regular Steam gift and removes itself from your friends once it's delivered. You don't need to enable Steam Guard for this. The whole thing usually takes a couple of minutes, sometimes a little longer depending on load. All that's left for you is to accept the gift in Steam and hit “Add to Library”.

What to check before buying

For the gift to go through, two things matter. First, your Steam account region must match the gift's region — otherwise Steam won't let you accept it. Your region (account country) is shown in your Steam profile settings, so check it in advance. Second, Resident Evil 5 must not already be in your library: a gift can't be accepted if you already own the game — it won't land on a duplicate. With both of those in order, delivery goes smoothly.

Co-op and how to play it best

Resident Evil 5 was designed from the ground up as a co-op action game. The second player controls Sheva, and the whole campaign can be played by two online. Real-time inventory management, swapping ammo and herbs, joint melee finishers — all of it is built for a duo. Solo, Sheva is handled by an AI partner, but a live second player unlocks the full experience. If you plan to play co-op, note that the second player needs their own copy of the game.

The Resident Evil series in our catalog

If you're a fan of the series, check out the other Capcom survival horrors too: the Resident Evil 4 remake with its reimagined village chapter, the eerie Resident Evil Village with Castle Dimitrescu, and the atmospheric Resident Evil 2 remake. Resident Evil 5 is tied chronologically to the Wesker arc and Jill's backstory, so lore fans of the series will get extra mileage out of it.

Is it worth grabbing now

Resident Evil 5 isn't pure survival horror — it's more of an action game with horror trappings, tuned for shared play. If you're looking for a co-op partner run, want to fill a gap in your series collection or simply play one of Capcom's most action-packed titles, the Gold Edition packs the most content into a single gift. The game runs great on modern PCs and doesn't demand powerful hardware.
