Resident Evil Requiem Tops 5 Million Sales in Under a Week, Capcom Says

Critical acclaim paired with a franchise-best Steam peak highlights the game's broad reach.

Overview

  • Capcom said the Feb. 27 release has surpassed five million units sold across PS5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, Steam and Epic within days.
  • Multiple outlets say the pace likely makes it the fastest‑selling Resident Evil to date, though Capcom did not claim that record in its announcement.
  • Requiem reached roughly 344,000 concurrent players on Steam, the highest launch for the franchise on the platform and a top‑seller early in 2026.
  • Reviews remain strong with an ~88 Metacritic and ~90 OpenCritic, while a 9.5 Metacritic user score ties Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, a ranking that could shift as more user ratings arrive.
  • Capcom recently reported that 50% of its game sales now come from PC, and Requiem’s record Steam performance underscores the platform’s growing importance.
