Resident Evil Requiem’s Switch 2 Port Impresses at TGS as Capcom Details Smooth Path to Day-One Release

Capcom says RE Engine scalability made a native Switch 2 build straightforward.

Overview

  • Requiem launches February 27, 2026 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and as a native Switch 2 release alongside Resident Evil 7 and Village.
  • Developers report the Switch 2 version was not a massive challenge, citing a highly scalable pipeline for console and high-end PC targets.
  • Capcom first prototyped Village on Switch 2, then greenlit Requiem after strong results and subsequently added Resident Evil 7 for the same date.
  • Tokyo Game Show handheld footage shows strong visuals on Switch 2 with reports of performance above 30 FPS in places, occasional dips, and some ray tracing support.
  • Requiem returns to Raccoon City with a single-player focus and offers first- or third-person play, while rumored legacy character cameos remain unconfirmed.
