Resident Evil Requiem Reaches 7 Million Sales Before the Two-Month Mark

Seven million copies by April 24

Resident Evil Requiem has passed 7 million units sold. According to Gematsu, game director Koshi Nakanishi revealed the milestone in an Instagram story on April 24, 2026. Capcom launched the game on February 27 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. That puts the latest milestone inside a window of less than two full months on sale.

Another million since March 16

The earlier public checkpoint was 6 million units on March 16. Reaching 7 million by April 24 means the game added another million in a little over five weeks. That is not just a strong opening weekend hanging on in the charts. It points to sustained movement after launch, and it matters even more because Requiem is a fresh mainline release rather than a remake leaning on nostalgia alone. The platform spread also helps: Capcom is selling into current consoles, PC storefronts, and Switch 2 at the same time.

What this says about Capcom’s current pace

Capcom has been unusually consistent at turning Resident Evil into repeatable commercial scale, but seven million before the two-month mark keeps the pressure high on the rest of the slate. The game was already over six million in mid-March. Now it is seven. Even without a new pricing event attached to the milestone, that cadence suggests the series is still converting broad demand at full-size launch pricing instead of depending only on long-tail discount waves.

Reddit read it as proof that new mainline entries still hit

The linked r/Games thread reached 469 points and 114 comments at crawl time. The top reactions were broadly positive and focused on what the number means for the franchise’s future. Some players said the game pulled them deeper into the series, while others argued the milestone is especially useful because it shows Capcom can push a new numbered release hard, not just remakes. That distinction matters. Requiem is being discussed less as a surprise and more as evidence that Resident Evil’s release floor is now simply very high.
