Resident Evil Requiem Data Shows Players Stick With Leon in Third‑Person, Split on Grace

Fresh analytics support Capcom’s accessibility push to let players swap views after Resident Evil 7’s first‑person proved too intense for many.

Overview

  • Director Koshi Nakanishi, who shared telemetry in a Friday interview, said about 90% played Leon’s chapters in the recommended third‑person view.
  • For Grace Ashcroft, roughly 60% stayed in first‑person while about 40% switched to third‑person.
  • The team saw clear splits by platform and region, with Japan and wider Asia leaning third‑person and PC players picking first‑person more often.
  • Capcom added camera choice to lower the scare level for players who found Resident Evil 7’s first‑person too intense, using third‑person as a step back.
  • Producers said the patterns matched expectations, and outlets noted strong momentum with more than 7 million sales in two months and an 89 Metacritic score.
