Resident Evil Requiem Global Release Timings Revealed


Capcom’s hugely-anticipated Resident Evil Requiem is now just over a day from launch, with preloading already live on some platforms. But when will you be able to actually start playing?

Thankfully, via a post on Steam, Capcom has now issued a detailed rundown of when Requiem will unlock across the world in major territories — with differences in some regions depending on platform.

If you’re on Steam, you can also now begin preloading the game if you are a pre-order customer — ensuring you slip back into the shoes (and snazzy jacket) of Leon S. Kennedy as quickly as possible.

Across the world, PlayStation and Xbox copies of the game will typically unlock at midnight on February 27 in your local timezone, except in the U.S., when these will unlock at your equivalent to midnight EST (9pm Pacific).

On PC, where the game is available via Steam and Epic Games Store, the timing is different again, and there is an added wrinkle for the game’s launch on Nintendo Switch 2 in Mexico.

With just hours left until Requiem’s release, there’s time for one last word of caution around the game’s spoilers now spreading like wildfire online. Capcom has promised “firm action” against those responsible, though this seems to have done little to curb the clips of the game’s finale now being widely shared, which IGN verified as legitimate. Earlier this week, Resident Evil 2 director and famed developer Hideki Kamiya said those who revel in ruining surprises for others “deserve a thousand deaths” and should “be cursed to never be able to play games again.”

Read on for a full rundown of when Resident Evil Requiem will release in your own timezone — and stay tuned here on IGN for our full launch coverage, including our Resident Evil Requiem review.
