Resident Evil 6 Steam pre-orders include RE5, DLC season pass

20130311_resident_evil_6

Resident Evil 6′s Steam pre-order campaign has chalked up enough purchases to unlock all three reward tiers. Those who slap their cash down before the port’s March 22 release date will score the soundtrack; a digital artbook; a DLC pass for all four extra multiplayer modes; and a free game. Most of us will get a copy of Resident Evil 5, but Capcom Unity notes that those in non-Games for Windows Live territories will actually receive Devil May Cry 4 instead.

Thanks, Destructoid.
