Physical copies of the highly anticipated Resident Evil Requiem are becoming increasingly difficult to come by online in the US, with the game just about sold out everywhere on all platforms.
Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, and Walmart are entirely sold out of Xbox copies of the game at the time of publication, while only Walmart is still stocking the standard edition for PS5.
Amazon is also the only online retailer with the game available to buy on Nintendo Switch 2, albeit for $76.84, almost $7 more than its MSRP of $69.99.
Resident Evil Requiem’s Deluxe Steelbook Edition is also entirely sold out online right now.
Digital copies remain widely available for preorder across all platforms, and there’s a discount on the PC version if you buy from Fanatical or GMG.
Requiem is releasing on PS5, Xbox, Switch 2, and PC on February 27. Capcom has also recently issued a detailed rundown of when the game will unlock across the world in major territories when bought digitally.
Anyone who has preordered on Steam can already start preloading the game. For those in the US, PlayStation and Xbox will unlock at the equivalent of midnight EST on February 27 (February 26, 9 PM PST).
With release imminent, spoilers have already started to spread online. Earlier this week, Resident Evil 2 director and famed developer Hideki Kamiya said those who revel in ruining surprises for others “deserve a thousand deaths” and should “be cursed to never be able to play games again.”
Reviews have also been positive for the latest entry in the survival horror franchise, with IGN’s Tristan Ogilvie awarding it a 9/10 in his review, stating:
“Like the result of an experiment conducted in an underground Umbrella Corporation lab, Resident Evil Requiem successfully splices two separate strains of survival horror together into the one highly infectious new mutation.”
