Capcom’s Resident Evil Requiem has proven itself to be a massive success as the newly released action-horror title is now confirmed to have sold 6 million units, which makes it the fastest selling entry in the iconic and long running series. In a new press release, Capcom has officially announced the sales results, along with the news that the Resident Evil series will reach it’s 30th anniversary soon.
“Capcom Co., Ltd. (Capcom) today announced that worldwide sales of Resident Evil Requiem, released on February 27, 2026, now exceed 6 million units, which is the fastest that a title in the series has reached this milestone.”
“In addition, the Resident Evil series will celebrate its 30th anniversary on March 22, 2026. Capcom is readying various plans for this anniversary to delight series fans, such as a collaboration between Universal Studios Japan and Resident Evil Requiem in 2026, and orchestral concerts in Japan, the US, and Europe.”
Capcom also announced that post-launch contents for Resident Evil Requiem are also in development, which means there’s going to be more to love from the game this year.
“Going forward, Capcom plans to implement several measures, such as ongoing support and additional game content, so players can continue to enjoy the title longer.”
Of course the sales numbers are only expected to grow even further from here which means Requiem could very well end up being the highest grossing title in the series as we move further into 2026.
