Capcom is bringing three major survival horror titles to the Switch 2 this fall, giving players a chance to revisit classic campaigns on Nintendo's latest hardware. The digital versions of Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 4 Remake will launch on the Nintendo eShop on October 16. This release allows Switch 2 owners to access these remastered experiences without waiting for physical stock, which arrives months later.
Digital versions arrive October 16 with physical copies following in January 2027
The announcement covers the remake versions of the original Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 4 games. Capcom confirmed that these specific titles are optimized for the Switch 2 platform. Players can experience the updated graphics and mechanics of these popular horror titles on Nintendo's new console.
Digital copies of all three games become available for immediate download starting October 16. The release schedule separates the digital and physical distribution channels by several months. This release schedule allows digital buyers early access while physical retailers prepare for the later launch.
Physical editions of the games are scheduled to hit stores on January 29, 2027. This date establishes a timeline for collectors who prefer physical copies or retail purchases. The difference between digital and physical release dates is a common practice for major software titles.
