After becoming the fastest-selling title in the franchise’s history, it shouldn’t be surprising that Capcom’s Resident Evil Requiem is already the year’s best-selling game in the United States. Granted, we’re only considering February’s sales charts, as revealed by Circana’s Mat Piscatella. However, since it was available for two days and managed to top storefronts on PlayStation, Xbox and PC, it’s still impressive.
Even more incredible is that its launch-week dollar sales are over 60 percent higher than Resident Evil Village. Unit sales are up by over 40 percent with bundles not included. Once again, it’s not too surprising, especially since it quickly sold over six million units in 18 days compared to Village’s 4.5 million in one month.
Other notable debuts in February include Dragon Quest 7: Reimagined at seventh place, followed by Mario Tennis Fever in 11th place (only accounting for physical sales) and God of War: Sons of Sparta in 14th. Even the Resident Evil Generation Pack, which is sadly unavailable after March 31st, managed to chart at 20th place.
As for Requiem fans, there’s more to come with story DLC confirmed to be in the works. It allegedly focuses on Leon and apparently even features Ada Wong, mysteriously absent during the base game’s events, in some fashion.
