Amazon's Prime Day sale has brought Resident Evil Requiem down to $55.99 across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch 2, marking a notable moment for the horror title's pricing trajectory.
The Switch 2 edition deserves particular attention here. This marks the first discount the portable version has ever received at Amazon, and Prime members can push the price even lower to $53.19. For a game that's barely been discounted since launch, that's significant movement.
Resident Evil Requiem offers dual protagonists with distinct playstyles. Grace and Leon each bring different approaches to the survival horror experience, giving players a choice between genuine scares or more action-oriented gameplay as they work through the campaign.
The game has landed well with critics. IGN's Tristan Ogilvie gave it a 9/10, describing it as a successful fusion of two survival horror styles that creates "one highly infectious new mutation." He highlighted the return of a franchise legend, introduction of a compelling new character, elevated gore effects, and a new breed of zombie threats alongside demanding boss encounters.
For genre fans who've been holding out for a price break, this Prime Day window represents the best opening to grab the game at a discount. All versions are marked down simultaneously, though the Switch 2 edition's inaugural sale status makes it the standout opportunity here.
Author Emily Chen: "First Switch 2 discount on a major release like this signals the platform's starting to get real AAA support, and at $53 for Prime members, it's hard to pass up."
