Capcom is set to make a significant impact with the upcoming launch of Resident Evil Requiem on the Nintendo Switch 2, scheduled to release next month.
Alongside the highly anticipated game, the publisher is expanding its branded hardware lineup with a licensed 512GB microSD Express Card, featuring the iconic Umbrella Corporation logo.
This announcement underscores Capcom's commitment to creating immersive, franchise-themed experiences both in-game and through exclusive hardware accessories, catering to dedicated fans of the Resident Evil series. Available now for pre-order through global retailers such as Playasia, the 512GB Resident Evil Requiem microSD Express Card is priced at $139.99 USD, with regional pricing available.
Capcom has confirmed that the hardware will ship on February 27, 2026—coinciding exactly with the launch date of Resident Evil Requiem for the Nintendo Switch 2. The microSD Express Card, produced in partnership with Powin, serves as a high-performance storage solution for the Switch 2.
While it boasts unique visual branding with the Umbrella Corporation’s logo—a nod to the series’ notorious antagonist—it operates identically to any other officially supported microSD Express Card compatible with Nintendo’s new platform.
The accessory is designed to support the ever-increasing storage requirements of modern AAA titles, providing ample space for new releases. According to Nintendo’s official digital storefront listing, Resident Evil Requiem will require 29.3GB of free space for installation on the Nintendo Switch 2 at launch.
Capcom has noted that this storage requirement is subject to final adjustments prior to release, with additional updates and patches potentially altering the file size post-launch.
Given the game’s considerable footprint, the need for high-capacity storage solutions on Switch 2 is clear, especially as the physical version of Resident Evil Requiem will be distributed via a Game-Key Card.
This format will still require substantial digital storage, as users must download the full game content onto their device regardless of purchasing a boxed edition. Capcom continues to build upon the success of its Resident Evil franchise, which has sold millions of units worldwide and remains one of the highest-grossing horror game series in the industry.
The addition of themed hardware accessories highlights the company’s strategy to deepen fan engagement and leverage its iconic imagery across both software and hardware platforms. For Switch 2 owners seeking reliable storage options, the Resident Evil Requiem microSD Express Card offers not only robust capacity but also an exclusive collectible appeal for series enthusiasts.
For those comparing options, additional guidance on selecting microSD Express Cards for Nintendo hardware can be found in expert buyer’s guides across leading gaming media outlets.
