The rumours were (partially) true.
Resident Evil Requiem will release on Switch 2 at the same time it does on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation, Capcom announced overnight, also confirming that Resident Evil 7 will head to Switch 2 on the same day.
“The announcement came with a brand-new story trailer and brought players deeper into the twisted web of horror awaiting Grace Ashcroft as she investigates the Wrenwood Hotel including a glimpse of new antagonists, weapons, and locations players will encounter,” Capcom said of Resident Evil Requiem, the ninth mainline title in the long-running franchise.
Requiem and Resident Evil 7 will both head to Switch 2 on 27 February 2026, the same time Requiem is available on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation.
“On February 27, 2026, Resident Evil 7 biohazard Gold Edition will also release on Nintendo Switch 2, including the full game, the ‘Not a Hero’ chapter, and all additional DLC,” Capcom added. “Resident Evil Village Gold Edition will also be available featuring the Winters’ Expansion and the Trauma Pack.”
