A new image discovered by ResetEra users reveals that a cloud version of Resident Evil 3 Remake could be coming to Nintendo Switch.
Nintendo has dabbled in cloud gaming to bring games to the console that might not otherwise be playable on the Switch. It started with Resident Evil 7 in 2018 and was followed by Assassin’s Creed Odyssey later that year. Those two cloud games were only playable in Japan, but yesterday, Nintendo released Control on the Switch as a cloud game and revealed that the next Hitman 3 would be a cloud game on the Switch. RE3 could be the next game if the image below is any indication.

It is important to note that the existence of this image does not necessarily imply the arrival of a cloud version of RE3. Maybe it was in the works, but it has since been canned. Perhaps it is a simulated image for the simple possibility.
It’s anyone’s guess at this point, but it matches earlier rumors this year after modders discovered the code in the demo referencing the Switch in March. Game analyst Daniel Ahmad said around the same time that a the cloud version for Switch was being explored, but that there were no plans for a native version.
If you’re looking to test how a possible cloud version of RE3 could run on Switch, you can try the cloud version of Control right now. At some point in the future, you will also be able to play Hitman 3 on Switch as a cloud game, although there is currently no release date for that.
