Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is a survival horror video game developed and published by Capcom, released in January 2017 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 (also supports PlayStation VR headset), Xbox One and in May 2018 for the Nintendo Switch in Japan. The ninth major installment in the Resident Evil series, Resident Evil 7 diverges from the more action-oriented Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6, returning to the franchise's survival horror roots, emphasizing exploration. The player controls Ethan Winters as he searches for his wife in a derelict plantation occupied by an infected family, solving puzzles and fighting enemies. It's the first main series game to use a first-person view.
