How to download the Resident Evil 3 demo on Xbox One and PC
New horrors await as you try to escape from Raccoon City.
The Resident Evil 3 remake is just a couple of weeks away but Capcom is allowing players to experience a taste of that horror ahead of launch. Unlike the "One Shot" demo that premiered ahead of Resident Evil 2 in 2019, you aren't limited in how many times you can play this demo. As a result, it's a good way to familiarize yourself with the new controls and some of the new action-oriented abilities you have — which you'll need against the terrifying threat of Nemesis.
The demo goes live on March 19 and should now be available in all regions on Xbox One. The Steam link is also live.
