There are different preload dates and times for each respective platform that Resident Evil 4 Remake is releasing on, so it entirely depends on your device of choice. We've got you covered with all of the different dates below though, so make sure to keep reading.

Resident Evil 4 Remake Xbox preload time & date

The Xbox Resident Evil 4 Remake preload date and time have already passed, and you are able to fully preload the game right now ready for release on Friday. You can even preload the game if you've not purchased it yet through the official Xbox app on your phone, so you can be fully prepared even if you've not taken the plunge yet.

Resident Evil 4 Remake PS4/PS5 preload time & date

For PlayStation players though, the Resident Evil 4 Remake preload date and time is midnight on March 22, 2023. This still gives you two whole days to download the game before release, which is plenty of time even if your internet speed is super slow.

Resident Evil 4 Remake PC Steam preload time & date

PC players aren't quite as lucky, however, as there is currently no information about a preload on Steam. There was no preload available for Resident Evil Village when it was released, so the same could easily be the case for Resident Evil 4 Remake. We will let you know if any updates are released in the coming days though, so make sure to check back soon.

The Resident Evil 4 Remake download size is around 67GB across the three platforms. There might be some slight variance between the different versions, but it should roughly be around this figure.

This is quite a big jump from the original game's 15 GB on current platforms, but that is very much expected considering how great the game looks from a graphical perspective - all that 4K gore takes up a lot of space.

So, that's everything you need to know about the Resident Evil 4 Remake preload date and time, giving you all of the details to prep in advance of the game's release. Make sure to check out this Resident Evil 4 Remake Steam Deck guide to find out whether the game runs on Valve's portable PC.
