Resident Evil Requiem Drops to $50 at Amazon, Cheaper Than Prime Day

Did you miss out on Resident Evil Requiem during June's Prime Day sale? Well, you're in luck, because Amazon just dropped the price even lower. The game is now $50 across PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X, and this time you don't need a Prime membership to grab it.

That's right—this new low beats the June Prime Day price, which was already pretty sweet. For PS5 and Xbox Series X, this is the cheapest we've ever seen it. On Switch 2, it's back down to its lowest price. And unlike the previous deal, this one is open to everyone, so if you're not a Prime member, you can still take advantage.

But before you smash that buy button, there's one thing Switch 2 owners should know. The physical version comes as a Game-Key Card inside the case. That means the game isn't actually on the cartridge—you'll need to download it before you can play. It's a small catch, but worth keeping in mind if you prefer physical media.

If you haven't jumped into Requiem yet, you're in for a treat. The game blends first-person survival horror with third-person action, and it's one of the best of the year. IGN's Tristan Ogilvie praised it for splicing 'two separate strains of survival horror together into the one highly infectious new mutation.' That's high praise, and honestly, it's well-deserved.

Now, timing matters here. Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days kicks off tomorrow, and this sale only runs for 48 hours—unlike June's four-day event. So you won't have long to decide. Other retailers are also running their own sales this week, like Best Buy's Techtober Sale, which just started today and has a few more game deals worth checking out.

So, will you be grabbing Resident Evil Requiem at this new low price? Or are you holding out for an even better deal during the holiday season? Let us know in the comments!
