Resident Evil Requiem Sells 5 Million in Under a Week

The five-day sales pace likely makes it the series’ fastest seller, according to multiple outlets.

Overview

  • Capcom confirmed the milestone after the February 27 launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PC and Nintendo Switch 2.
  • SteamDB tracked a franchise-best peak of roughly 344,000 concurrent players during launch weekend.
  • Critical reception sits in the high 80s on Metacritic, and the user score is 9.5, tying the site’s highest rating.
  • Coverage notes earlier entries took months to reach 5 million sales, though Capcom did not label Requiem a record-setter in its release.
  • Reports place the game in Capcom’s all-time top 20 sellers already, as players debate its runtime and linear structure on social platforms.
