Resident Evil Requiem Reaches 70% Completion on Steam and 66.9% on PS5

Resident Evil Requiem is posting unusually strong completion numbers for a modern AAA release. In a report published on April 13, UnGeek said the game had reached a 70% completion rate on Steam and 66.9% on PS5 a little over a month after launch.
The article bases those figures on the Rookie Agent achievement and trophy, which are awarded for beating the game on at least Casual difficulty. Because higher difficulties also unlock the same milestone, the percentage works as a broad proxy for how many players have finished the main story. UnGeek also noted that 63.7% of Steam players had unlocked the Standard-difficulty clear achievement, which is still an unusually high figure.
Why these numbers stand out
- Many large AAA games never get close to a 70% main-story completion rate.
- UnGeek says even 50% is already high for a shorter, more linear release.
- The game appears to benefit from a campaign length of under 20 hours and a more focused structure.
That context matters. Completion percentages are shaped by genre, pacing, and total runtime, and Resident Evil Requiem is a relatively linear horror game rather than a sprawling open-world release. Even with that caveat, crossing 70% on Steam is notable. Horror games often lose players before the ending because of tension, pacing, or time commitment, so these numbers point to strong engagement as well as solid retention.
UnGeek also compared the result with other major releases, noting that The Last of Us Part II reportedly sat around 58% months after launch and Ghost of Tsushima around 50% after roughly half a year. Those are not one-to-one comparisons, but they help frame how unusual Requiem's current figures look.
The outlet cautioned that achievement and trophy data are not a perfect measurement of unique-player completion. Capcom's official Resident Evil Requiem stats page tracks play and clear counts, but those totals can include replays from the same user. Even so, platform achievement data remains one of the clearest public indicators available.
For Capcom, the message is straightforward: Resident Evil Requiem is not just attracting players, it is keeping a very large share of them engaged through the ending. If that pace holds, the game could end up as one of the more notable completion-rate standouts in recent AAA horror releases.
