Anticipation for Resident Evil Requiem, the latest installment in Capcom’s celebrated survival horror franchise, is reaching fever pitch as the game’s release date for the Nintendo Switch draws near.
However, securing a physical copy is proving difficult for fans in the United States, with major retailers reporting that their stock has already run dry.
Resident Evil Requiem, which launches tomorrow, continues the series’ legacy of cinematic horror, further cementing Capcom’s reputation as a leader in the genre. According to recent checks, the physical edition of Resident Evil Requiem has sold out across leading U.S.
stores, including Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop.
These retailers—who typically stock a wide range of formats and special editions for major game launches—are currently listing the product as unavailable, both online and for delivery.
As of the latest updates, only select Walmart locations appear to have copies remaining, though these are limited to in-store purchase and cannot be ordered online. A spokesperson familiar with the situation noted that the wave of pre-orders and high demand have depleted initial shipments faster than anticipated, especially for the Nintendo Switch platform.
'Our allocation sold out rapidly following the announcement,' they stated, underlining the series’ enduring appeal among both new fans and longtime Resident Evil enthusiasts. For players still hoping to pick up a physical copy, the best option may be to check local Walmart stores on launch day, as in-store inventory can sometimes differ from what's listed online.
It is advisable to contact stores directly or use the retailer’s website to verify availability before making the trip. Those unable to secure a physical edition are not out of options: Resident Evil Requiem will be available digitally on the Nintendo eShop and other storefronts starting on release day.
The digital version will offer the same content and gameplay experience as the retail cartridge, ensuring no fans are left waiting to dive into Capcom’s newest adventure. Capcom has enjoyed a string of commercial successes on Nintendo hardware in recent years, leveraging the versatility of the Nintendo Switch and the robust digital infrastructure of the eShop.
Resident Evil Requiem’s strong pre-order performance underscores both the sustained popularity of the franchise and the enthusiasm of the Switch player base. Resident Evil Requiem is set to launch tomorrow, continuing the legacy of one of gaming’s most influential horror franchises.
As physical copies become scarce, digital platforms remain a reliable option for fans eager to play on release day.
