The Evil Within 2 Gets First-Person Mode. Now Available for All

An update for Bethesda and Tango Gameworks’ The Evil Within 2 gives players the option to play the survival horror game from a first-person perspective. The update is available today for the PlayStation 4, Windows PC and Xbox One versions of the game.

In an announcement, Bethesda said players can switch from third-person — the game’s default camera perspective — to first-person at any point in the game, simply by flipping a switch in a menu.

“A lot of players like playing horror games in first-person, so for those who want to see some of the game’s situations through Sebastian’s eyes, it’s a really neat experience,” said Tango Gameworks producer Shinsaku Ohara in a release. “I think exploring Union in first-person makes the scale feel even bigger than it does when you’re in third-person. Also, being able to see our environments and enemies up close allows players to get an even better look at how much effort went into their designs.”

Bethesda notes that The Evil Within 2’s free trial version will also include the new first-person view mode.
