Capcom announced on the 4th that Resident Evil Requiem has officially surpassed 5 million units sold globally. It has been exactly six days since the game's launch on February 27th.

Resident Evil Requiem serves as the latest entry in the storied franchise. It successfully elevates the essence of survival horror by cranking up the interplay between intense dread and white-knuckle action. Built on Capcom's proprietary RE ENGINE, the game delivers visuals so close to reality that you can practically count the pores on a character's skin, see the moisture in their eyes, and watch how light filters through their hair. It also offers a clever mix of difficulty settings to accommodate everyone from greenhorns to seasoned veterans, alongside a feature that lets you toggle between first-person and third-person perspectives in real-time to suit your preferred playstyle.

The game was already riding a wave of critical acclaim long before it hit the shelves. At Gamescom 2025, Europe’s premier trade fair, it scooped up four awards—including the 'Most Epic' title for the most breathtaking, awe-inspiring experience of the year.

To put things into perspective, the Resident Evil franchise has now sold over 183 million units since its humble debut back in 1996.
