Resident Evil, Zach Cregger’s reboot of Capcom’s video game horror franchise, began its premium video-on-demand release on 3 November 2026. The digital launch gives viewers a home option more than six weeks after the film opened in U.S. theaters on 18 September.

The film is listed for digital rental or purchase through Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home. The release time reported for the U.S. was 12:00 am ET on 3 November, which corresponds to 1:00 pm PHT on the same date. The platforms and prices identified in the report are tied to the U.S. market, so Philippine viewers should check whether the title appears in their local digital storefronts.

What the digital release includes

Cregger, who directed and co-wrote the screenplay with Shay Hatten, presents the film as a full reboot rather than a continuation of an earlier Resident Evil movie series. The story follows Bryan, played by Austin Abrams, a medical courier who becomes caught in a deadly outbreak after agreeing to deliver a package to Raccoon City General Hospital in the Colorado mountains.

The film’s setup uses elements associated with the game franchise, including Raccoon City and the Umbrella Corporation, while following a new lead character. According to the published description, Bryan’s journey begins after he hits a woman on the road and attempts to take her to the hospital. The situation then develops into a struggle involving mutating monsters and an experimental serum linked to Umbrella.

  • Digital release: 3 November 2026
  • Listed platforms: Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home
  • Rental price: $19.99 for 48 hours
  • Purchase price: $24.99

Netflix and Blu-ray dates remain unconfirmed

A subscription-streaming date for Netflix has not been announced. Sony has a pay-one agreement with Netflix, and the report compares the film’s expected path with other recent Sony horror releases that reached the service roughly three months after their theatrical debuts. That timing is only an expectation, however, and no December date has been confirmed for Resident Evil.

A physical Blu-ray edition is also planned, but no official release date has been provided. For audiences in the Philippines and elsewhere in Southeast Asia, the immediate home-release details currently available are therefore the listed premium digital options, with local storefront access and pricing requiring confirmation on each platform.
