Capcom announced Resident Evil Requiem has sold over five million units since it released on February 27 for the Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
"Capcom today announced that worldwide sales of Resident Evil Requiem, released on February 27, 2026, surpassed 5 million units," said Capcom.
"Resident Evil Requiem is the latest installment in the Resident Evil series, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this month. The title successfully elevated the essence of survival horror by heightening the interplay between intense fear and exhilarating action. Resident Evil Requiem was developed using RE ENGINE, Capcom’s proprietary game engine, which allowed the company to deliver visuals in photorealistic detail, including the characters’ skin, teary eyes, and flowing hair, as well as the translucency of light. In addition, the title offers a new game experience for a broad fanbase through multiple difficulty settings that accommodate everyone from newcomers to experienced players, as well as allowing players to switch between first-person and third-person perspectives in real-time to suit each player’s individual play styles.
"Also, prior to its release, the title garnered significant acclaim from fans around the world, including at Gamescom 2025, Europe’s largest gaming trade show held in August of last year, where it received four awards, such as Most Epic, which is presented to the game that delivers the most breath-taking, awe-inspiring experience.
"Capcom remains firmly committed to satisfying the expectations of all users by leveraging its industry leading game development capabilities in order to create highly entertaining gameplay experiences."

Big congrats to Capcom on this banger of a game, already on my 3rd playthrough
Easily my favorite "new" RE game since either RE: Rev 1 or RE4 (2005)
Grace is an amazing new character and Leon is exactly what Leon should have been in RE6
What a game !
Hell yeah! Haven't gotten it yet, but will once I've cut through a bit more of my backlog. Probably will get it around May
id like to see sales numbers on each system
Be interesting to know the breakdown. I assume ps5 has the majority of sales but seeing as sw2 had day and date with a quality experience, I wonder how that version is doing in units compared to xbox.
How does this compare to previous entries launch windows sales? Sounds great
Wonder what it would have sold if the same game had released by a different dev and didn't use the RE franchise.
Actually, yes, I do. Everything from SMB 2 to Starfox Adventures. I'm always interested in knowing how much of an impact the IP branding had on games where it's clear it's no longer that same franchise. Like, is this game good enough to get this praise without it? Would it have done this well as a new IP? I'd like to know. That's why I asked.
An ad hominem fallacy (Latin for "to the person") is a logical error where someone attacks an opponent's character, motive, or personal traits instead of addressing the substance of their argument. It is a diversionary tactic used to discredit a claim by attacking the person making it, rather than proving it wrong.
HUGE!!!!! i got the Switch 2 Generation Pack. have not opened yet, hopefully get into the next couple days.
