Resident Evil continues to demonstrate its enduring popularity, with Capcom reporting impressive sales figures. Resident Evil Requiem, launched in February 2026, sold over eight million copies in just four months. It wasn’t alone in this success; the RE4 remake also sold five million copies within the same year. Other titles like 2017’s Resident Evil 7 and 2012’s Resident Evil 6 sold 3 million and 2.3 million copies, respectively.
Capcom’s effective marketing strategy, ongoing price reductions on older titles, and the interconnected nature of the series contribute to these impressive sales. Notably, from mid-2025 to mid-2026, six Resident Evil games exceeded three million in sales, showcasing the franchise’s continued relevance in the gaming community.
Capcom’s strategy of remaking popular titles is proving fruitful, as highlighted by the large sales figures across different versions of these games. The trends suggest that Capcom may continue to explore new remakes in the future, capitalizing on the franchise’s rich history and dedicated fanbase.
