The Resident Evil 4 remake is a ground-up reimagining of Capcom’s original survival horror shooter from 2005, and it’s coming really soon. Here’s everything you need to know about the Resident Evil 4 remake release date and the platforms for which it is coming... and those for which it won't be coming.

We’ll also look at how to pre-order the game and what pre-order bonuses you can get.

Resident Evil 4 remake release date

The Resident Evil 4 remake is launching on March 24, 2023. The game will release for  PC, PS5, PS4, and Xbox Series X|S.

The remake will not release for Xbox One and Capcom has no plans to make a version for Microsoft's last-gen console. The old Xbox One port of the original game is your only option to play.

Resident Evil 4 remake is not coming to Nintendo Switch either. The original port for the Switch, released in 2019, remains the only way to play the game on Nintendo’s handheld.

How to pre-order Resident Evil 4 remake?

You can already pre-order Resident Evil 4 remake from Steam on PC, your console’s digital store, and via Capcom’s Resident Evil website, for $59.99 for the Standard Edition.

If you pre-order Resident Evil 4 remake before it launches, you will get in-game items with special effects as pre-order bonuses, depending on the edition of the game you purchase. 

The Standard Edition pre-order bonuses are a Gold Attaché Case and a Handgun Ammo Charm. Deluxe Edition & Collector's Edition pre-orders will get the standard bonuses plus a Classic Attaché Case and a Green Herb Charm.

The Gold Attaché Case comes with the perk of increasing the drop rate of pesetas, the in-game money, while the Classic Attaché Case increases the drop rate of gunpowder.

The Handgun Ammo Charm boosts the chance for a crafting bonus when crafting handgun ammo. Triggering a crafting bonus will cause you to receive more ammo than usual. The Green Herb Charm increases the health recovered by green herbs.
