A free demo for Capcom’s Resident Evil Requiem has arrived, but it features a major limitation. Save data from the demo does not carry over to the full version, so anyone who likes their experience in the demo and goes on to buy the game will need to start over.
The free Requiem demo includes a portion of the game’s “early stages.” You can use the links below to queue up the Requiem demo on your preferred platform:

Requiem released at the end of February this year and has sold more than 7 million copies so far. It ranks as the No. 1 best-selling game in the US so far in 2026. In March, Capcom announced plans to expand the game with new content and a story expansion.
Beyond ongoing updates to Requiem, the Resident Evil franchise will expand in September with Weapons and Barbarian director Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil movie. It’s not based on any specific Resident Evil game, but aims to capture the essence and tone of Capcom’s franchise.
