Resident Evil Requiem - Is There Early Access

There was no early access for Resident Evil Requiem (RE9). Find out more about whether you can play the game early and which countries will have early access.

Is There Early Access?

No Early Access

Early Access
Similar to previous game releases like Resident Evil 7 until Resident Evil 4 Remake, Resident Evil Requiem did not have any early access.

This means that players had to wait for the official release day to play the game.

Which Countries Can Play the Game Early?

Released Earlier in Eastern Regions (New Zealand is the Earliest)

Since the game released on consoles at midnight on February 27, 2026, in countries' local timezones, players in eastern regions received access to the game earlier than those in western regions. New Zealand fans were able to play Resident Evil Requiem the earliest, as their timezone is much more advanced compared to other regions.

New Zealand's timezone is UTC+12, which means that midnight happens there earlier compared to other countries.

Release Time and Countdown

PC Release Time

RE9 Release Time
Resident Evil Requiem officially launched on PC via Steam at midnight ET (5:00AM UTC). This was a simultaneous worldwide release on Steam, meaning all PC players received access to the game at the same time.
