Resident Evil Requiem has sold over 7 million copies worldwide, making it the fastest-selling game in the series’ 30-year history, according to Capcom [1].
The game surpassed 6 million copies sold by March 2026, a milestone announced by Capcom president and COO Haruhiro Tsujimoto [1]. Within about one month after reaching 6 million, Requiem sold an additional 1 million copies, bringing total sales past 7 million in April 2026. Director Koshi Nakaishi confirmed this milestone through an Instagram post celebrating the achievement with themed cakes depicting characters Leon and Grace [1].
Resident Evil Requiem is a critical success, praised for its masterful blend of horror elements and nostalgic fan service. The game continues the story of Leon Kennedy, while exploring his character development, which has been highlighted by reviewers [1].
In comparison, Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil Village, released in 2017 and 2021 respectively, have sold approximately 16.4 million and 13.5 million copies worldwide, showing Requiem’s strong commercial performance despite the high benchmarks set by prior successful titles [1].
