The Nintendo Store lists the storage requirement for the Switch 2 version of Resident Evil 4 Remake Gold Edition as 29.0 GB, with the physical edition scheduled for release on January 29, 2027, using a key card. This title is one of three Switch 2 versions of Resident Evil remakes that Capcom plans to launch on October 16.
Among the other two titles, Resident Evil 2 Remake Z Deluxe Edition lists a required capacity of 14.0 GB, and Resident Evil 3 Remake Z Edition lists 12.9 GB.
For comparison, the Microsoft Store lists the Xbox version of Resident Evil 4 Remake Gold Edition as requiring 87.79 GB, while attempting to install the version with DLC on Steam requires 85.38 GB of free space. The 29.0 GB listed for the Switch 2 version is about one-third of the latter figure, but store-listed capacity and actual installation space requirements cannot be directly used to judge graphical quality or specific compression methods.
As of October 14, pre-orders are open for these three Switch 2 titles, with discounts ranging from 20% off to roughly 30–35% off. Players planning to purchase digital versions should allocate storage space based on the listed capacity, while those considering physical copies should note the key card format.
