The new horror hit Resident Evil Requiem continues to break records. Capcom confirmed in an official statement on March 4 that the game sold more than 5 million copies in just five days, making it the fastest-selling game in the history of the Resident Evil series. With this, Requiem surpassed the previous record holder, Resident Evil 6, which reached 4.5 million copies sold in its first week of sales. According to a known leaker Dusk Golem, it is the best initial sales result in the history of the franchise. The success comes after extremely positive reactions from the players, and the game recently found itself at the top Metacritic according to user ratings. Capcom also revealed that the entire Resident Evil franchise has sold more than 183 million copies by the end of 2025, and with the new success of Requiem, that figure is approaching 190 million. If sales continue at this pace, the series could exceed 200 million units sold by the end of 2026. With rumors of future DLCs and expansions, it seems that this is only the beginning of the great success of the latest Resident Evil title.
