Handheld console owners across the world are right to pose the question of is Resident Evil 4 Remake on Switch this week. After all, the game comes out in a matter of days so fans will want to get their ducks in a row and their situation sorted, in terms of what they will play the game on.

If you’re wondering about the other handheld that’s now in our lives, we’ve answered the question of is Resident Evil 4 Remake on Steam Deck here.

Can you play Resident Evil 4 Remake on Nintendo Switch?

Unfortunately, currently, there’s been no talk of getting Resident Evil 4 Remake onto the Switch. This is disappointing, yes, but also a little bit baffling: Capcom and the Resident Evil games have a very decent record of getting the Resident Evil series games of the past few years onto the console. Admittedly it’s sometimes through the cloud a la playing Resident Evil Village on Switch, but this has still presented a playable, and enjoyable solution.

This kind of scenario extends to Capcom’s other big-hitting games like Monster Hunter too, so this only intensifies the melon scratching. Overall, then, this means that while players on PS5, PS4, Xbox series consoles, and PC, will be counting down the minutes when it comes to the Resident Evil 4 Remake release time, there’s no such prospect for Switch players. Maybe there’s a chance the support for Switch will come down the line, but the official site is still totally absent of mentions of the word ‘Switch’…

This lack of support is both more confusing, but also more consistent (weirdly) when we also factor in that Xbox One players will not be able to pick up the remake either – despite it being available on the ‘other’ last-gen console, the PS4. It seems that, currently, at least, Capcom is happy to leave some player bases behind.
