You Can Try Resident Evil Requiem for Free in India Before Paying ₹4,399: Here's How

Resident Evil Requiem goes live on February 27, priced at ₹4,399 on PC and consoles. It’s the ninth mainline entry in the series, and if you’ve followed Resident Evil for any length of time, you already know the kind of atmosphere and tension Capcom usually delivers here.

That said, ₹4,399 isn’t a small ask. If you’re unsure about jumping in on day one, there’s a way to try the game first without paying anything.

Nvidia Is Hosting Free Play Sessions in India

Nvidia is hosting community meet-ups in Delhi NCR, Chennai, and Bangalore on launch day itself. These sessions run from 6 PM to 8 PM IST on February 27, and entry is based on prior registration.

At the venue, you’ll be able to play Resident Evil Requiem on PCs powered by RTX 50 series GPUs. It’s not a trailer loop or a guided demo. You actually sit down and play the game, which already makes this a bit different from the usual launch-day experience in India.

A Straightforward Try-Before-You-Buy Option

Public hands-on demos for big AAA games aren’t very common here. Most players end up watching streams or reading reviews and hoping the experience matches expectations. These sessions give you a chance to form your own opinion.

If you were planning to pre-order anyway, this works as an early preview. If you were on the fence, it’s an easy way to decide whether Requiem clicks with you before spending the money.

There’s Also a Small Giveaway

Alongside the in-person sessions, Nvidia is running a limited giveaway tied to the event. Four Resident Evil Requiem game codes will be given away through social media participation, including Instagram entries and posts shared from the meet-ups.

It’s not a large-scale giveaway, but it’s a nice extra if you’re attending.

How It Actually Runs on PC

If performance is what’s holding you back, we’ve already spent time testing Resident Evil Requiem on PC across different settings. The short version is this: the game looks great, but it can be demanding.

Higher presets push VRAM usage up quickly, especially with advanced lighting enabled. Ray tracing is manageable on modern GPUs, but path tracing is still heavy and benefits a lot from DLSS and frame generation. With the right settings, things smooth out nicely, but it’s not a game you can just max out blindly.

If you’re planning to play on PC, that context matters.

We’ve broken all of this down in detail in our Resident Evil Requiem PC performance review, including real-world settings and benchmarks.
