Resident Evil Remakes Are Finally Heading to Switch 2 as Native Ports
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Capcom is bringing native versions of the modern Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4 remakes to the Nintendo Switch 2 this October, replacing older cloud streaming options with full local ports.
Capcom is bringing native versions of the acclaimed Resident Evil 2 Deluxe Edition, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 4 Gold Edition to the Nintendo Switch 2. Confirmed during the September Nintendo Direct, all three survival horror titles launch digitally on October 16, with physical editions arriving in January. Pre-orders are already live for players looking to secure their copies just in time for the Halloween season.
This drop marks a major win for Nintendo players who previously had to make do with compromised options. On the original Switch, Resident Evil 2 and 3 were restricted to cloud streaming formats that often suffered from input lag and connection dependencies, while the modern remake of Resident Evil 4 skipped the platform entirely. Running natively on the Switch 2 hardware means these definitive versions deliver stable performance and local play without relying on cloud servers.
With these additions alongside Resident Evil 7, Village, and the recent Requiem, the Switch 2 is rapidly transforming into a premier destination for modern horror. Capcom is cementing a strong relationship with Nintendo's latest hardware, giving hybrid and handheld players complete access to the franchise's defining era on a single platform.
