Resident Evil 4 Gold Edition Hits Nintendo Switch 2
Capcom's port of the 2023 remake includes the Separate Ways DLC; TechRadar reports texture pop-in and brief frame drops.
Resident Evil 4 Gold Edition was released for Nintendo Switch 2 on October 16, 2026, according to digitaltoday.co.kr. The release is a port of the 2023 Resident Evil 4 remake and bundles the Separate Ways DLC featuring Ada Wong.
TechRadar reported texture pop-in on distant objects such as trees and cliffs in both docked and handheld modes. Frame drops were also observed in a cave with flickering purple lights, making on-screen motion feel unnatural for one to two seconds.
Combat performance was generally stable, and the frame drops rarely disadvantaged actual encounters. Gyro-based motion controls are supported, with vertical aiming accurate while horizontal aiming was slower.
HDR is supported, and image quality was better in docked mode than in handheld mode. TechRadar said the overall Switch 2 experience is closer to the PlayStation 4 version than the PlayStation 5 version.
