Get Ready for Resident Evil: Requiem with 3XS Gaming PCs and peripherals

Resident Evil: Requiem is Capcom's officially announced next mainline Resident Evil title, and the ninth core entry in the series. It represents the next chapter in the modern survival horror era built on Capcom's RE Engine.

The story introduces Grace Ashcroft, an FBI analyst investigating a new outbreak, while also featuring Leon S. Kennedy. Capcom has confirmed the game uses multiple perspectives, with different characters offering distinct gameplay styles. Expect a blend of tense exploration, investigation, and action driven set pieces, continuing the tone set by Resident Evil 7, Village, and the recent remakes.

Resident Evil: Requiem launches on 27 February 2026.

The game will release simultaneously on PC and current-generation consoles, with Capcom confirming it as a full global launch. PC players can expect day one support and the same feature set as console versions, including the latest RE Engine enhancements.

Resident Evil games benefit from strong contrast and shadow detail.

• 1080p or 1440p monitors work well for high refresh rate gameplay.
• 4K displays deliver maximum visual fidelity, especially for cinematic moments.
• OLED or high quality IPS panels with HDR support enhance dark environments and lighting effects.

A 27 inch 1440p monitor offers a great balance, while a 32 inch 4K OLED is ideal if you want the most immersive experience.

Resident Evil is typically designed with controller support in mind, but PC gives you options.

Recommended peripherals

• Controller: Xbox Series or DualSense (excellent native support)
• Keyboard: Mechanical keyboard with linear or quiet tactile switches
• Mouse: Lightweight mouse with a good sensor for precise aiming
• Headset: Closed-back headset with strong positional audio

Good audio is surprisingly important here, hearing enemies before you see them is half the tension.

Resident Evil: Requiem scales well with more powerful GPUs, especially at higher resolutions.
