"Resident Evil Requiem is already a big hit for Capcom, as it reached 5 million sales in just five days. The company says that it achieved this sales milestone faster than its previous mainline release, Resident Evil Village, and it was quicker than the recent remakes of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4."
"There were already signs that Requiem was off to a strong start, as the game reached a new series record of over 344,000 concurrent players on Steam, and it has so far been met with a positive reception from both critics and fans alike. This number was double that of Resident Evil 4 Remake (168,191) and triple that of Resident Evil Village (106,631)."
"Capcom says one of the keys to success here was the idea to focus on broad appeal without losing the identity of the game, through the use of multiple difficulty settings and the option to switch between first-person and third-person perspectives in real-time. This, in turn, allowed players to fine-tune the experience to suit their individual tastes."
Resident Evil Requiem has become a major commercial success for Capcom, reaching 5 million sales within five days—surpassing the speed of previous mainline entries like Resident Evil Village and recent remakes. The game set a franchise record with over 344,000 concurrent Steam players, more than double Resident Evil 4 Remake and triple Resident Evil Village. Critical and fan reception has been positive. Capcom attributes this success to design choices prioritizing broad appeal while maintaining the game's identity, including multiple difficulty settings and real-time perspective switching between first-person and third-person modes. These features allow players to customize their experience. While Requiem still needs significant sales growth to enter Capcom's top 10 Platinum titles, the franchise's strong sales longevity, multi-platform availability, and future discounts suggest continued growth potential.
