We’ve found the best deals on Resident Evil Requiem prior to its launch, along with the exact times of when you can start playing.

Resident Evil Requiem is the ninth mainline instalment in Capcom’s survival horror series, and as outlined in our review, it’s the best since 2005’s Resident Evil 4.

The latest instalment alternates between two protagonists, with new FBI agent Grace Ashcroft and series veteran Leon S. Kennedy – with the former’s sections geared around horror scares, while the latter offers action-orientated catharsis.

Resident Evil Requiem launches worldwide on February 27, 2026, but if you want to know exactly when you can start playing, Capcom has outlined the times for each territory.

If you’ve pre-ordered the title digitally across console or PC, you can pre-load the title now, so you’re fully prepared for when it goes live – otherwise you’ll have to wait extra time for it to download.

The downside of buying digitally is it’s usually more expensive (and you can’t re-sell it later). So if you’re in the market for a physical edition, there are still some decent deals across PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X/S.

Currys is running a 10% pre-order discount if you pick it up before February 27, but it only appears to have Switch 2 copies left in stock. If you haven’t yet played Resident Evil 7 or Resident Evil Village, your best bet might be the Resident Evil Generation Pack on the Switch 2, which is a mere £81.99 (with the discount applied) and has all three games in one.

There are still some deals across PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. Amazon has standard edition copies for £59.95, which is saving around £5 versus buying digitally.

You can check out a full list of the best deals below but a lot of retailers have already sold out of physical copies, including the Deluxe Edition on PlayStation 5. The problem is even worse in the US, where the game appears to be almost impossible to get physically.
