7M units without a single discount/sale is very impressive... especially for a horror game
I could see this blowing past RE7/8 and getting up there with RE2/4 pretty quickly
Would love a per-console breakdown, as well as a physical vs. digital for those numbers.
I guess. Unless a game is exclusive, I've been more concerned about the games full success. If a multiplat AAA game is only reaching 1 million sales, you know there's problems. 7 million though, that's a feel good success story. Anything further than that is only useful for tribalism amongst console warriors. Which is why no one really has platform breakdowns.
Is this the fastest that a Res game has hit 7m? I think it is, pretty sure Res 2 Remake, Res 4 Remake, and Res Village and such took until their 2nd quarter to top 7m on Capcom's Platinum Sellers list. At this rate it should pass their current top Res game, 2 Remake, inside of a few years.
It is the fastest selling game in the franchise to reach 7M, yes.
the resurgence of the Resident Evil franchise is incredible. Many fans wrote the series off after 6, nice to see Capcom turn things around.
Excellent numbers, imagine when it starts getting discounts.
I love that the director celebrated this with two custom cakes, a white one for Grace and a black one for Leon
RE Requiem - PC (58%) / PS5 (37%) / NS2 (3%) / XB (2%)

If you have played horror games in the past, Grace's sections were just average and a repeat experience. Easily a forgettable experience.
Silent hill 2 remake/ f, is light years ahead in terms of horror.
Leons mission were better by far. Set pieces that felt exhilarating, brought a true smile to my face. I had to hit the record button plenty of times . The formula has been done before, but the physics/graphics with a fresh new move set animations , was a blast to play through. Leon saved what other wise would have been a 6.5 out of 10 game.
And I still have not bought it. But I will. Once the dlc drops I will get a bundle with the dlc and main game
Amazing game. So far my GOTY.
You're kidding
What didn't you like about it?
Grace's missions were average. They could have done much better to make it feel like a proper horror game.
Leon's was much better. They nailed the action , perfectly.
The idea of Grace's gameplay was to make it more horrifying and vulnerable. I found a noticeable difference between the two.
Capcom balanced this very well i throught.
Totally deserved. The Best Resident Evil ever even above RE4 and in my Top 10 as well.
Delusional. What are you smoking mate
Users score on metacritic : 9.4
The highest for any RE game. It seems I'm with the majority. So spare me your condescension
Go cry somewhere else.
User score, not critic score. Must be alot of young kids who are new to horror.
Or they are still on a high from leons missions, because he saved the game. His parts are worthy of replays, which explains the user score. But for you to come out and say it's the best, insulting to the franchise
and creator of the series. Show abit of respect to shinji mikami
Players score > critics score. It's the same thing for movies/books and all, I respect people scores not woke critics score.
"But for you to come out and say it's the best, insulting to the franchise"
Resident Evil Rquiem got 9.4 and is the fastest selling RE of all time. Deal with it.
** Edited by a mod. Don't be an asshole.
Thanks for the chuckle
Almost done with the game. Excellent game. Gave me RE7 and RE4 remake vibes.
how many did the other titles in the series sold?
Watch Capcom still say they consider these disappointing numbers though.
Fun game, even if I'm still really only a fan of RE7 and not much else in the series.
Capcom generally has more realistic expectations, and probably does a better job at budgeting than most other publishers. They also try to be positive as much as possible. Dogging one's own products often turns out to be self-fulfilling prophecy.
