Resident Evil Requiem Reaches 7 Million Sold In About Two Months

The director’s Instagram post, not a corporate press release, signaled the franchise’s fastest start.

Overview

  • Director Koshi Nakanishi shared an Instagram photo on Friday showing two celebratory cakes that marked 7 million copies sold roughly two months after the February 27 release.
  • Capcom has not issued a formal announcement for the 7 million figure, though in March it confirmed 6 million sold and called Requiem the fastest‑selling game in Resident Evil’s 30‑year history.
  • The game cleared more than 5 million in its first week, topped 6 million a few weeks later, and has now reached 7 million, outpacing the Resident Evil 4 remake’s slower climb to a similar mark.
  • Industry analyst Mat Piscatella of Circana said Requiem already ranks among the top five Resident Evil titles by all‑time U.S. dollar sales.
  • Requiem is available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, and PC, and its momentum comes as Capcom logs other strong launches, including Pragmata surpassing 1 million copies in two days.
