When do Resident Evil 2 Deluxe Edition, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 4 Gold Edition release on Nintendo Switch 2, and how does the digital date compare to the physical date?
Capcom is bringing three Resident Evil titles to Nintendo Switch 2 with a three-month gap between when you can download them and when you can buy a physical copy. Here’s the exact timeline.
Digital launches first this October
📅 Resident Evil 2 Deluxe Edition, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 4 Gold Edition will all be available to download on October 16, 2026. You can start playing as soon as the download finishes.
Physical releases arrive in late January
📅 The boxed, physical versions of these three titles will release on January 29, 2027. If you prefer owning a cartridge, you’ll need to wait just over three months after the digital launch.
What matters for your purchase decision
The digital October date gives you immediate access if you want to play right away. The January physical release is for anyone who prefers a cartridge, or who wants to hold off and see if prices drop closer to the new year.
Check Capcom’s announcements as October approaches for any pricing details, which the company hasn’t released yet.
How much will Resident Evil 2 Deluxe Edition, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 4 Gold Edition cost on Nintendo Switch 2?
Capcom announced Resident Evil 2 Deluxe Edition, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 4 Gold Edition for Nintendo Switch 2, but the company has not disclosed what you’ll pay for any of them.
Pricing remains unannounced
There’s no official price yet for the digital versions launching October 16, 2026, or the physical versions arriving January 29, 2027.
Where the price will appear
When Capcom does announce pricing, it will likely show up in these places:
- Nintendo eShop product pages (for digital pre-orders)
- Nintendo Switch 2 retailers like Best Buy and Amazon (for physical pre-orders)
- Capcom’s official website and press releases
Capcom typically prices re-released titles based on the original version’s suggested retail price, but that’s just an educated guess — nothing is confirmed until the company announces official prices.
Expect pricing details sometime before or right when digital pre-orders open, likely in late September or early October.
