Capcom swore it wouldn't put out a Resident Evil Requiem demo in the lead-up to its February 2026 launch, but now we are a few months removed from its debut, the publisher is open to the idea.
A demo containing "part of the game's early stages" is now available on the PS Store. Any save data from the demo will not transfer to the main game if you buy it afterwards, so simply treat the demo as a chance to work out if the title is for you or not.
Based on the wording, I assume this demo will allow you to play through the opening Wrenwood section as Grace, and then perhaps a bit of the Rhodes Hill care center too.
If you're convinced enough to buy the game, it's actually just gone on sale in the new PS Store Days of Play promotion. You can get a 30% discount on Resident Evil Requiem until 10th June 2026.
In our Resident Evil Requiem PS5 review, we awarded an 8/10 score and said: "Resident Evil Requiem takes all the best bits of Resident Evil 4 and most of the best bits from Resident Evil 7 to create a fantastic yet lopsided experience."

This demo should have been available before the game was released. Kinda silly now
@TartarusBlack I think they were confident it would sell well regardless and didn't want to ruin the start of the game for those who were always going to buy it.
Now it's sold a metric tonne and then sales have slowed understandably a double whammy of a demo and a sale price may convince those who were waiting for a sale to buy it. It's been done lots of times before
Great game from what ive just played i bought on the state of play deal thats just started
@Frmknst Pretty sure it takes longer than 8 hours to complete the game in fairness
It does not appear on the demo category on my psn store. So thanks for this news. Would not have known about it otherwise.
And it makes me wonder what other demos are around that the store is unintentionally hiding.
@rusty82 Yeah I see your point
@Frmknst because it’s lame to measure quality of a game in pound cost of an hour of playtime?
£70 is a lot for any game, whether it is 8 or 80hrs. If you want maximum hrs per £, then play only free-to-play titles.
@THEBrew Don't know why people need to lie to prove a point it's just silly really I haven't played it myself yet but I'll pick it up eventually was never really into the series but I played most of the older games now recently I'd say it's a really good game
Had to turn off RT due to some serious screen edge jank that occurred in dark areas. Also I just played Tormented Souls II the other week so this was like playing a watered down Hollywood version of that. I mean I’ll play it eventually because they’re not bad games but they’ve long abandoned what made them my favorite PS1 games.
I'll try it but don't think I'm getting it now. Still playing Alan Wake 2 which is unsettling enough, nonetheless a brilliant game. I know to expect zombies in RE & TLOU most often, but Alan...you just don't know!
