Capcom has announced via its Resident Evil X account that the latest game in the acclaimed series Resident Evil Requiem has already shifted over five million copies since its release on Friday. The Japanese company has thanked fans for their continued support and has also released some special celebratory art to accompany the announcement, which you can view down below.
So pleased.
7hrs in and im loving it
Good game! Enjoying it too. I’m kicking myself for not noticing the Generations bundle. Village intrigues me. On me list.
Only a few hours in and enjoying it, 5 million copies sold and I’m one of them.
Meanwhile, Concord 3.0 aka Marathon is struggling to get even 5 people to play. That being said, this is awesome news and I can’t wait to play this in the near future.
I have never liked this saga but my husband plays it with great pleasure and he loves this game, it bores me…^^’
I enjoyed it, didn’t realize it had motion controls till close to the end. Will probably play through it again with those turned on from the start. I find motion controls keeps things very playable even when frame rates dip below 60.
This is what happens when you make a good game that isn’t woke. It actually sells.
I didn’t know resident evil was THIS POPULAR. It deserves to sell well for not being political and just being a straight up good game. I was shocked to see this at overwhemingly positive on steam, usually triple AAA games don’t reach that.
Wilds sold 8 million and was considered an underperformance
Both Resi 9 and FF7 remakes selling great. Good tike to be a gamer.
IShowSpeed is being paid to play this game once again Capcom is faking the hype like they did MH Wilds same way Sony is doing for Marathon. This game is a flop. Wilds sold more than this and they considered it a flop. Paying off influencers to play this is the problem same with paying media.
If this was a flop, why is it sold out everywhere? 250,000 people played it at once on steam on launch day which is incredibly high, they only tell a couple of influencers to go play it, like around 5–10. Seems pretty successful to me.
Huh, only one weirdo talking about wokeness? Maybe this site is healing!
That’s because woke trash keeps failing so things are looking up now
Nope, now we got 2.
Make that 3
damn…
They had higher expectations for this the whole reason it was on Switch 2 because Wilds underperformed and that sold way better on PC, Xbox, and PS5. This game was a flop despite what media spins are. If Capcom considered MH selling 8 million a flop then this is worse.
Total cope. It’s a huge success!
I am glad you can see that this game is doing well, everyone is like “Monster hunter wilds sold 8 million and is a flop” when this isn’t monster hunter wilds. I bet that game did good in sales in the end with discounts and updates, but RE9 was more anticipated and didn’t have any serious issue at launch like performance. 5 Million is a ton of copies in less then a week.

The actual reason why RE9 is on switch 2 is because after they finished the port for Street fighter 6, some of the employee’s wanted to see what the resident evil engine looked like on the switch 2, and they got great results from that, so they started fully optimizing RE9 for last generation consoles. also “flop” and “underperformed” are very different, underperformed just means it sold less then they were expecting, but they still made money off of it. Flop is just “The game made no money back.” And considering RE9 sales in less then a week, this is a success. Monster Hunter Wilds probally did good in the end after sales and updates.
