Resident Evil Requiem has officially sold over 5 million copies already

In many ways, Resident Evil Requiem serves as a culmination of Capcom’s long-running franchise, with the latest entry bringing back fan-favourite characters in an experience which some have described as a continuation of Capcom’s “unbelievable run of excellence”. Despite only being out for less than a week so far, Capcom have confirmed that Resident Evil Requiem has already sold over 5 million copies,

Making the announcement via a press release, the team at Capcom revealed that “worldwide sales of Resident Evil Requiem, released on February 27, 2026, surpassed 5 million units.”

This achievement is even more impressive considering the fact that Requiem is exclusive to current-gen platforms – the first entry in the series to be locked to modern hardware. Of course, between the PS5, Series X|S, Switch 2 and PC, there are well over 100 million potential customers.

Even so, Requiem’s rapid success is notable, already putting it as the 19th best-selling Capcom game of all time, right above the original RE2 (4.96 million units).

Of course, Requiem still has quite the journey to go on if it wants to reach the upper-echelon of Capcom sales, with the best-selling entry in the series being Resident Evil 2’s Remake (currently at 16.8 million copies).

Regardless, with the game receiving near-universal acclaim and going on to sell over 5 million copies in its first few days, it’s safe to say that Resident Evil Requiem is another major success for Capcom.
