Capcom Resident Evil releases on Nintendo Switch 2

Overview

Capcom confirmed that three Resident Evil remake titles—Resident Evil 2 Deluxe Edition, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 4 Gold Edition—would be available on the Nintendo Switch 2. Digital versions were scheduled for release on October 16, 2026, with physical copies expected on January 29, 2027.

By late October, the digital releases for Resident Evil 2, 3, and the Resident Evil 4 remake were active on the console. Technical comparisons between the Switch 2 ports and the PlayStation 5 versions indicated minimal differences in character models, though the PlayStation 5 version maintained “superior global lighting.”
