Overview
- Capcom released the free Resident Evil Requiem demo on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, Steam and the Epic Games Store.
- The demo offers a slice of the early campaign, letting players control Grace Ashcroft through the Rhodes Hill care center and play a short Leon S. Kennedy section to show both playstyles.
- Capcom says demo save files cannot be imported into the full game, so progress made in the trial will not carry over if players buy the full title.
- Requiem is already a major commercial hit, selling roughly 7 million copies within about two months and becoming the franchise’s fastest‑selling entry to date.
- The demo joins recent post‑launch additions such as the ‘‘Leon Must Die Forever’’ minigame and a planned story DLC and should help players test performance on hardware like Switch 2 and extend the game’s sales momentum.
