Capcom just can’t stop winning in 2026. Following its blockbuster debut in February, Resident Evil Requiem has sold seven million copies in less than two months. Director Koshi Nakanishi revealed this on Instagram with a celebratory party featuring two cakes, one for each of its protagonists.
The last major milestone was in March, with over six million copies sold in less than three weeks. Circana’s Mat Piscatella also confirmed its success in the United States, revealing that it’s the fifth-best-selling game in the entire franchise. With this latest achievement, Requiem may be the fastest-selling as well.
Resident Evil Requiem is available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2, and if you haven’t played, it’s a treat, especially for those seeking closure on the Raccoon City saga. Alongside two protagonists with wildly different survival horror gameplay, you can swap freely between first and third person perspectives – a first for the franchise.
Of course, there’s plenty more to come, with a story expansion in the works (which allegedly focuses on Leon and may feature Ada Wong in some capacity). Nakanishi also confirmed plans to add a new mini-game, and based on some datamined tracks, we may very well see the return of Mercenaries.
