Resident Evil 4 Remake sales have surpassed 3 million units globally, Capcom has announced.
Capcom’s latest Resident Evil remake is off to a great start with the publisher’s announcing the game has managed to sell over 3 million copies in just two days after its launch. The publisher announced the news through an official press release. The press release doesn’t mention if this means that Re4 Remake is now the fastest-selling entry in the series, but we do know that Capcom’s previous two remakes, Resident Evil 2 Remake and Resident Evil 3 Remake managed to sell 3 million in three days, and 2 million copies in five days respectively. Meanwhile, Capcom has announced that Resident Evil 7 has sold over 10 million copies.
Resident Evil Village, Capcom’s most recent new Resident Evil entry has already sold over 6.1 million copies since its global launch in May of 2021. The entry managed to sell over 5.7 million copies in just 9 months. Impressive numbers for sure for Capcom’s horror franchise.
According to Capcom, as of December 31, 2022, cumulative shipments of Resident Evil games across all platforms have exceeded 135 million units since the launch of the original Resident Evil in 1996.
Resident Evil 4 Remake is available globally now for PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. Here’s what we had to say about this amazing remake in our launch review.
“Presentation-wise, Resident Evil 4 is yet another impressive showcase of Capcom’s RE Engine tech”, we wrote in our review. “On PS5, I was able to play in Resolution Mode (which offers a full 4K picture via checkerboard rendering) with ray tracing turned on and the framerate remained solid. Perhaps not a full 60fps, but fairly consistently around the 50fps mark, which is impressive for a console game. I should also note I turned the fancy hair textures off as they cost more than ray tracing performance-wise and look kinda goofy. While Resident Evil 4 is an irrefutable technical achievement, artistically, it’s arguably a step below its predecessor Resident Evil Village. While some locations are undeniably gorgeous, others, particularly the opening village areas, are kind of grungy looking. This is largely down to the source material Capcom was working with, but I feel like they could have done a bit more to liven up the dingy browns of the early parts of the game.”
